AnimalNerd98 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 After scouring my LFS for months and buying discolored juveniles in the hopes of getting a female, I think I finally got one. Can I get some nerms to confirm or deny? I also saw some spawning behavior between her and my beautiful red boy. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll keep you all updated 😊 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knee Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I was able to get two females 5 years ago. They're so rare and it's nice to finally see one again. Congrats on getting one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolstoy21 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 @Abeb123You might want to remove your email from this public thread and send it to the poster in a private message. A lot of spammers will use bots/spiders to scrape publicly accessible pages for email addresses and then add them to their spam lists. Not sure how this forum deals with spiders, but I find it best to try to keep my email off of the web to the best of my ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that why people sometimes write their email addresses by spelling out the punctuation?

Xr4tiCrew Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I just picked up three of them today, thinking they are all males. Curious, what are you feeding yours @AnimalNerd98? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennie Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 My LFS has more females than males. 😄 Seems to be a pretty rare occasion. Your fish look beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memorywrangler Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Not really. I’ve been watching fry and reconditioning mom and dad. I think my going to try spawning them again next week in a very empty tank to see if I can recover more eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmike15 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Good luck with the breeding. I did it years ago with two corners of Java moss and they bred in the tank. Mine after a year would eat micro worm sized flake rarely but almost exclusively live foods. I branched off into small cichlids when I couldn’t find any female scarlet badis. if the female is getting chased I’d suggest separating them since I lost a female but maybe you have enough hiding spaces in the main tank.
