I got these 2 as my "starter breeders" to practice with fry before getting serious with my mandarin breeding. They were traded to a LFS by someone so I am at least their second home. They started laying about 2 months ago, then I got pneumonia, so I wasn't tracking them or trying to hatch the eggs. Also during that time I stopped their conditioning feeds and went to generic twice a day feedings, so where they layed twice in 3 weeks their first go around, for the last month they hadn't laid as far as I could tell, or if they did, I didn't see the eggs and any fry became fish food. So, the price is for an "unproven" pair rather than a
"proven pair" since I hadn't pursued since I got sick.
My husband would rather work with black ocellaris. Since they are set up in his computer room, I have to comply. Therefore, the orange guys have to go and will be replaced by blacks.
$60 for pair, local sale only, will not separate. Would also trade for a black single, or trade plus a little cash for a black pair.
