around 5cm long. £1.50 each.

How many are there in total?

MatsP · Post by **MatsP** » 26 Apr 2009, 17:39

I don't have an exact number, but I can certainly do 12 now, and more later. I've already sold 10.

I'll take 10 if you've got 'em Mats.

Ok, great. I'm sure I can gather up 10 from the current ones.

I'd love a male and 2 female if you got any spare from this hatching otherwise please consider me if you ever get another hatch. Also I won't be ready until September so you may want shot of your extras before then. I'm getting the tank on Friday but I'm not putting any cats in until i'm back from holiday and the tank is mature with some tetras or platies in it.

Thanks

Ruth

I'm currently out of stock (as in, all the ones at salable size are sold), but if you don't need them until September, I should have plenty more - I currently have some 50 or so eggs, and the result of a previous spawn that are about 4 weeks old by now - they take about 3-4 months to get big enough to transport. Unfortunately, unless I grow them on quite a bit, can't tell males from females - they need to be a good 3-4" long (and probably separated) to be sexable.

If you don't mind I'll wait for you next lot to hatch are ready for homing - can wait as long as required. Could you put me down for 6 (if you have that many spare) and then I assume i can keep them all in the tank until they get too big - i am wary of over stocking - but by then I may have another tank

Sure, I'll post again when the next batch is ready, but I'll keep in mind that you want a bunch of them.

With regards to stocking, I think you can count one 6" Sturisoma as slightly smaller than your "teenager" bristlenose at around 2.5-3", so 6 of them in a tank should be fine. They aren't particularly agressive - I don't know what two mature males do if they are kept together, but certainly non-breeding males didn't seem to cause a problem as I kept them together.
