In all the stores they are offering 1-2 syno ocellifers for sale. they are pretty cheap(about$6) , Are they real? They look right but I didn't know anyone was breeding them.

hello and welcome

Schoutedeni and a small Dovii

Today i am finally turning in red lizard catsL10a to my local club for BAP. It seems like i've been working on these forever.Thanks to all who have helped along the way.

i woke up yesterday to 2 syno. shout. mouth fighting like large cichlids do. They were locked at the mouths. Fighting or spawning??

maybe got it right this time. I have failed about 7 times before. Lets hope.

L010a

I have new personal record for keeping Red lizard cats alive. they are on 12 days . i have had them spawn many, many times before and could only keep them alive about 10 days. Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed.

Asian Bagridae?

In my experience, they have never bothered each other at any size.

Anyone use live blackworms to condition Syno's? They are great for the Cory's .

hello and welcome

#2 looks like what i bought as L129.

i have cren. regani and they dont lok at my cories. They will eat anything close to mouth size.

hello

the third one looks like a red terror(festae) or a mayan cichlid also called false red terror.

i could only get mine to eat in very shallow water with no flow. about one inch. they would eat live baby brine and micro worms. i also could not get them to live foor more than 10-12 days. i have had 6-7 spawns and no survivors.the last few times they did die with fuller stomachs???????

I would also like some in NY

when i thought mine were old enough, i moved them to a bare 15 gallon alone and they spawned in about a week. they were bought and put in a community tank about 6-8 months ago. they were only 3/4 inch then. i fed live live black worms and changed 30% of the water maybe 3 times in 7 days. straight ta...

Does anyone know if the little S. Ocellifer on aquabid are real?. i dont recall anyone breeding these or importing them this small.

Excellent and good luck

this is no gaurantee, but my lfs sells these as 129

hello and welcome

My males(i think they are older than yours) have little beards. their fins are also different. this may be because they are always in the tubes so their fins are more curled up on the sides.

thanks, i also feed them microworms.

Had my first cory aeneus spawn last week. the fry are growing fast and i was wondering if baby brine is already too small for them?

i think so.

hello and welcome

Congrats and good luck.

Just cooked up my first batch of soilent green from repashy. The fish seem to love it . The L's, cories and cichlids are going crazy.
