Concernant le L191, il s'agit d'un processus qui peut être assez long, il lui faudra quelques années pour atteindre cette taille respectable, mais en effet avec 50cm ...

Re: Fragile eggs....

Hi Jac!!

Maybe the water is too basic & hard considering the geographic origin of these fish??
That would be about the only possibility I would see!!
But I am not worried they are in good hands with you!!
