Re: how to breed pelvachromis pulcher

["K & D Martin" <martndk@ibm.net>]

I would love for them to have their own tank, but my husband can't stand the
thought of another tank (i have 4 up now) so i just have to let nature take
its course at the moment,  I have bunch of baby convicts in another tank
that i hope to sell at the lfs, so IF i can catch them, and IF i can get rid
of the others that is where they will go.  Mike D. gave me a beautiful pair
of red kribs, but the female died while i was on vacation, but the male is
gorgeous, i would like to mate him to the female.   Problem is catching
them, i spent days trying to catch a pair of mollies to move to a higher ph
tank (this was when the tank's ph started dropping) and it was really
difficult, i still haven't managed to catch one lone female.  thanks , kym
