RE: [GSAS-Member] fish for sale



Just a suggestion. They breed constantly with the females scattering her eggs in java moss and the male fertilizing them. I've had successful fry once in my community tank, but I haven't really tried either. The fry are very slow growing so they usually don't last in a community tank. But beautiful fish and great male/female interactions.

Are you breeding them or just a suggestion?

How about a nice pretty pair of Bosemani Rainbows?  They are VERY community
friendly and aggressive eaters (should be able to take care of those
unwanted fry in no time).  Not to mention that if you get a pair, the male
is constantly putting on displays for the female.  Also a rather beautiful
fish.
