Are they being kept in the same tank ? |
| 31-08-2006 23:59 by KOBISKYE |
for the time being yes ,, why? |
| 01-09-2006 00:01 by wymcot |
Just be interested to see how they get on, how big are they. |
| 01-09-2006 00:02 by KOBISKYE |
not a great pic, and birchir is only 4"
 |
| 01-09-2006 00:03 by KOBISKYE |
birchir is in hiding, once lights are out will feed them prawns and blood worm
 |
| 01-09-2006 00:04 by wymcot |
And the Poly's? |
| 01-09-2006 00:05 by KOBISKYE |
6"
why all the questions, was advised it would be ok,,you have different opinion?  |
| 01-09-2006 00:07 by wymcot |
No I dont. Just interested in the Polys but have been put off because they are one of the less colourful Malawi haps and they get big |

never realised they where malawis,, they where originally in a tank with oscars,biffs,texas,and birchirs,new the guy that handed them in,they were bottom of the pecking order in his tank, will keep u posted,, hope the jardini debate hasnt upset your feelings towards me, we cool buddy................................................................ |

I've got a Nimbochromis Venutus, Livingstonii & a beast of a fuscotaeniatus. None are the friendliest fish available
Made my point on the other subject so now forgotten If you dont mind a little bit of crtisism, you should have read up on the Poly's, if the water is not hard & alkaline they will not thrive. The Birchar will be OK also in such conditions but not sure about your other fish in the tank |

u want them?
will get them a new home, got offered them for free cause it was my m8 that handed them in, will get a new home not a problem.... was a bit quick accepting them i always do research were ever possible, but was assured they would be fine????? |

"never realised they where malawis,, they where originally in a tank with oscars,biffs,texas,and birchirs,new the guy that handed them in,they were bottom of the pecking order in his tank"
I'd treat this guy with a lot of caution, obviously doesnt know or care about the fish he sells |
| 01-09-2006 00:21 by wymcot |
If you werent so far away I'd take them no problem
Put an ad in the classifieds, I know a few guys up your way that may be interested |
| 01-09-2006 00:21 by KOBISKYE |
all cichlids i am aware of, but never heard of poly's, |
| 01-09-2006 00:23 by KOBISKYE |
let them know bud and pm me if they want them, i will 4ward my email to you to come to an arrangement |
| 01-09-2006 00:23 by wymcot |
Yeh they swim around in big shoals and spend a lot of time hiding waiting for prey fish as they are predatory.
Mind you, if the Bircar was near full size they would need to watch thier own arses |

Apparently, in the wild, Nimbochromis Polystigma 'play dead' and lie in their sides. When smaller fish come to pick at the corpse, they spring into life and grab them for lunch. |
