Phil Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Nice!! I can see where they get their name from. Do these ones get red in them aswell? or is that a different variant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 wow!! he sure is a great looking fish! hehe yep you can see where they get their name from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Elflett Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 It's a double red, but it's been cross bred with a yellow, I believe... hence the orange... mind you, I'll tell you more in a couple of weeks of feeding it 'properly' - it could still colour up significantly...

Bettarazzi Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hmmm... seriously considering evicting my dwarf bettas in favour of some dwarf cichlids. How small a tank can you keep them in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Gorgeous! I have a double red pair of cac's. Love them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Elflett Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 More room than a Betta *can* live in, but I have two blue rams in a 20L, and they certainly seem happy enough - this guy is in the 140L community, and is getting along with everyone else - they're not as aggressive as bigger cichlids... they are sensitive to water quality, and chemicals, so cycle the tank well first...

Jess Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Gorgeous male Where did you get them from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Elflett Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Gorgeous male Where did you get them from? Amazon Aquariums, on Research Road, next building to Aggies... I think there's one male left, and a few females... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Ahh, I saw some there about 4 weeks ago. Did you have any luck finding any females? I think the last few batches from wholesalers have been males. If you want females I can keep an eye for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Elflett Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Not yet, no - I'm concentrating on the Blue Rams at the moment... a couple of months ago I didn't even want cichlids... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 a couple of months ago I didn't even want cichlids... lol And in a couple of months more you're going to be wall-to-wall bettas :dontknow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 i'd be happy if Stuart had wall to wall cacatuoides. Variety is the spice of life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
