FS: Paratilapia sp. ''marolambo'' nosivolo river

[Becca]

I got these at BFD and they're doing great - eating like piggies and growing.

Ultimately, I probably don't have the space required to keep them as they grow. I'd planned to move them out to a tub for the spring/summer, but the weather has been so crazy that I'm worried about putting them outdoors.

I got the group for about $60 and that's what I'm asking. There's 6 of them. They're super cool and I'd love to see them go to someone who has the space and resources to grow them out and spawn them.

What size are they?

They will need a big tank, Beautiful fish

What size are they?

Biggest one is maybe 4" right now.

Bump. Buy that 635 gallon tank off of JLW and I'll throw these guys in for free because they deserve that kind of luxury.

Bump.

Jim Cummings in Canada utilizes outdoor summer ponds for a lot of his Malagasy species. May be worth a shot with these guys. Just don’t know what you’ll do for the winter

My biggest pond is 300 gallons and I'm just not sure I want to sacrifice it to them at this point, especially since I just tossed a pair of L134s out there.

Bump. I'm willing to entertain offers so that these guys can have a proper long-term home.

Tub them!!!!

 

[Becca]

Tub them!!!!

And do what with them in September? If I tub them they'll definitely outgrow any tank I have.

tempting. I already have some polleni, so I'd have to move that group out and replace it with these.

You could seriously have them because your fish room is about the best place a fish could be.

even in my fishroom I'm not sure what to do with a 10" fish.

Sounds like its time to expand the fish room out under the deck and add a couple racks of 180s!

I'm sure they take a substantial amount of time to get THAT big . Do the polleni not get as big?

 

[chriscoli]

yes they do

 

[Becca]

yes they do

Sounds like we both need a bigger boat!
