My boeesmanis lived three years with no illnesses, and had to give them away due to personal events. the babies, all but three got eaten by a never before aggressive clown loach *he must of got crazy" . frozen blood worm diet and flakes every day. female turned iridescant green that glowed. using a PENGUIN wheel filtration, changed every week or two, had three MONTHS between breeding hatches (200 – 300 eggs) though, ONLY ONCE, did the babies (20-30) survive more than a week.

Just one question, will they survive in a 30gal tank with 4 fancy guppies? Also I have heard that the fry can eat tiny crushed up flakes. True or false? Also any idea how much pet stores will pay per fish? Thanks I do agree with all of that. Just one question, will they survive in a 30gal tank with 4 fancy guppies?
