27-10-2006 10:14 by jonie	uh oh i wouldnt put them in with discus unless the tanks 6foot plus cuz uaru's need there space as do discus
27-10-2006 10:15 by OLD MAN	TANKS A 4FOOT SOON TO BE A 6FOOT. IF HOWEVER I PUT THEM IN THERE AND I GET PROBS I HAVE ANOTHER TANK ON STAND BY.
27-10-2006 10:16 by OLD MAN	are they also known as waroo?
27-10-2006 10:16 by OLD MAN	JONIE, HE HAS THEM WITH DISCUS. I HAVE ASKED HIM FOR PICS/DETAILS ECT OF THEM ASWEL.
27-10-2006 10:17 by jonie	mmmm not sure heard the name tho
27-10-2006 10:17 by jonie	oh ok just that some can be nasty if there squashed up i a tank but a 4 foot will be fine untill they get too big for the discus
27-10-2006 10:18 by OLD MAN	they are actualy a breeding pair, so realy they want a tank of their own.
27-10-2006 10:18 by OLD MAN	what you think the ones in the pic are worth? breeding pair? and what are they called?
27-10-2006 10:20 by OLD MAN	one is 6" one 5"
27-10-2006 10:51 by Bogwoodbruce	Thats a bit small for them to breed at.
27-10-2006 10:58 by jonie	NOT SURE WHICH TYPE I DONT KNOW NOUT BOUT WARUUS
27-10-2006 10:59 by -Rob C-	then why reply to a thread you dont know about!?
27-10-2006 11:00 by -Rob C-	and yes they do make good discus tank mates, it i had a bigger tank i would keep them. but obviously a breeding pair may cause problems. apparently they eat plants though.
27-10-2006 11:29 by Bogwoodbruce	Yeah they do eat plants, my uncle had a pair in a planted tank and they ate all the plants that he had spent a fourtune on.
27-10-2006 11:31 by RyanR	I can pick up a breeding group, 4 of them for £50...
27-10-2006 12:06 by Bogwoodbruce	Where from ryan?
27-10-2006 12:08 by RyanR	A lady called Helen who lives in doncaster!
27-10-2006 12:52 by PaddyD	They can vary in price. For the normal species Uaru amphiacanthoides (the one in your pic) a fair price is about £6.95ish for 1-2" youngster. And for 5-6" I suppose from £15 ea to £25 is probably fair depending on the source, Personally I would have thought up to $50 would be not unexpected, if there is no proof that they have spawned if the form of photos or fry, they may not be a breeding pair - 2 females can produce infertile eggs. if they are imported or bought from a wholesaler they may not be cheap, and ocassionally you do see silly prices asked for them. They will grow to 15" but are wimps, best by themselves but discus are worth a shot, they eat a lot of vege matter though, so no plants. They do have the common names Waroo and triangle cichlids, but in the UK most people just know them as Uaru.
27-10-2006 12:54 by kingie11	hi old man most common (ones in your pic) are uaru amphiacantoides breeding pair probably £40 is depending on age other very rarely seen in the hobby uaru fernadezyepezi breeding pair probably £200 - £250
27-10-2006 12:59 by kingie11	hi again go to the wanted adds do a search on uaru there are both types for sale
27-10-2006 15:01 by Bogwoodbruce	Uaru are compatable with angels, festive cichlids and discus. I know somebody who had the different species together in a 5 footer.
27-10-2006 15:25 by OLD MAN	SO I CAN ALSO PUT FESTIVE CICHLIDS WITH MY DISCUS? IM WELL UP FOR BUYING THE PAIR OF UARU BUT THE SELLER IS A NIGHTMARE TO GET HOLT OFF.
27-10-2006 16:23 by Bogwoodbruce	Yeah festives are the most peaceful cichlid i've ever had.
27-10-2006 16:27 by PaddyD	They should be ok, in a good size tank, but I have never tried it before. The main issue will be territory though A pair of uarus may well need a good 3-4 feet of tank space - does not leave a lot of room for the rest of them. Be prepared to move fish as you get them pairing off really.
27-10-2006 16:35 by OLD MAN	WELL THESE ONES HE SAYS ARE A BREEDING PAIR. THEY ARE 5" AND 4" THEY ARE IN A 6FOOT TANK WITH DISCUS. I WANT TO PUT THEM WITH DISCUS IN MY 4 FOOT TANK.
27-10-2006 17:05 by Bogwoodbruce	I think they will be fine as uarus are very peaceful and aren't really agressive.
27-10-2006 17:31 by marko	Well my mate had a breeding pair of like 10 inch long uarus and when he tried to sypthon out the wrigglers the male bit his arm and my mate said it was like a pair of pliers clenching his arm,he showed me the scare so i think if they r breeding be prepared for some beaten up discus cause i have 7 discus and i dont think any of them could put up a fight even to the female uaru
27-10-2006 17:58 by OLD MAN	MARKO, THAT IS THE ONLY CASE I CAN FIND ANYWERE ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB ABOUT THEM BEING AGRESIVE. EVERY ONE YOU SPEK TO SAYS THEY ARE RIGHT LIL WIMPS.
27-10-2006 18:17 by marko	But remember he couldve just had extreamly aggro uarus...some fish r just mental I think u should try it,u never know unless u try
27-10-2006 18:45 by darren	Personally i would'nt mix the two species in a 4 foot tank,especially a breeding pair,you may get away with it with a single female but nothing else Just my opinion
27-10-2006 18:47 by paul stevens	I say stick to guppies and neons...
27-10-2006 18:52 by darren	???????
27-10-2006 18:56 by paul stevens	Why the ?????? darren.
27-10-2006 18:58 by -Rob C-	like ive said before guppies are to hard to keep nowadays!
27-10-2006 19:00 by paul stevens	Nice yellow mate be even better if you can see it...
27-10-2006 19:10 by darren	no idea mate,i am lost
27-10-2006 21:11 by OLD MAN	THE THING IS THAT THIS BLOKE HAS THESE FISH WITH DISCUS! HE SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER EVER BOTHERED THE DISCUS IN HIS TANK.
27-10-2006 23:22 by curviceps	Uaru amphiacanthoides are peaceful fish, however they can hold their own against more aggressive SA's. Although the guy has them in with discus, I'd be wary of doing the same. I'd agree with Paddy D, unless they have produced fry, I never take the buyers word that they are a pair, females often help each other to get rid of eggs when no male is present.
28-10-2006 09:51 by Bogwoodbruce	I wonder why he's getting rid if they live fine with discus. It makes you wonder.
30-10-2006 01:43 by DiXoN	i have some Uaru fernandezyepezi for sale if your after the rarer type. heres my ad http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/detail58_55065.php
