Posted	JULIDOCHROMIS MARLEIRI
07-04-2006 10:36 by Lexter	Anyone with experience of breeding these fish please advise.. i started off with 6 of them in my tank, sharing with Brichardi. Eventually one by one, they were bullied by the other Julidochromis Marleiri and then asa result of straying into the Brichardi territory would get grief there as well, so one by one i had to move them into other tanks. Then left with two still sharing with the Brichardi, and they looked an obvious "pair". The have bred and there are now 10-odd fry in a flower pot of different sizes, some definitly look older than others. I know Julidochromis Marleiri are known for producing small amounts of fry when they spawn. Anyway, last night i had to take out what i think is the male of the pair because he become "targeted" by his partner and then the Brichardi. SUB-POINT - as soon as a Julie gets chucked out of the group the Brichardi join in as well almost acting like a "team" to aid the cheif Julidochromis!!! Anyway, fry still in pot, but i have gone from 6 Juli to 1 now, and am wondering when to re intoroduce some of the other Juli back to the main tank? This fish can be very stubborn and i am wondering if they will ever live in harmony, i could just let the remianing one bring up the fry but i want more breeding action.

07-04-2006 22:00 by Lexter	was thinking about leaving it for a week then removing fry and re-organising tank a little and intorducing my other Juli back to set up???? Advise please.....
