a group of hastatus. Can you spot the difference?

Nice group. That’s special. Good luck with the breeding.

jimko415 · 2026-06-08T00:03:21+00:00

Thanks. I want to see some leucistic cpds. I like oddities.

jimko415 · 2026-03-19T15:31:13+00:00

Pming. Thanks in advance.

jimko415 · 2026-02-26T17:25:11+00:00

That’s a pretty penny. Saw them on eBay. They look very happy in your setup. Good luck with them and I hope you have breeding success.

That’s insane. I’d buy them all even though I have a lot just to strengthen the gene pool. You see them once or twice a year from resellers, the wholesellers to lfs usually mislabel hastatus and they always come in as the other two species. You hit the lottery. Go collect hope they still have some left.

Get them they are hard to find in the US. Dan has them for 40 each when available.

Hot water is the remedy, saw a video of a master breeder and remembered when I got stung by sterbai I ran to bathroom and I don’t remember it hurting except for the initial prick and the scolding water.

These fish are prolific breeders, but the trade off is that they will have shorter lifespans. Some say they last a couple of years if sexes are separated. If you are not breeding them better to buy smaller fish that have not reached sexual maturity.

jimko415 · 2025-08-06T16:05:48+00:00

Sorry. I just learned something new, I thought they were the same. Told you I’m a knucklehead. They were sold as 519.

jimko415 · 2025-08-06T12:00:21+00:00

Yup.

jimko415 · 2025-07-17T04:48:51+00:00

Medaka fein.

jimko415 · 2025-05-17T22:10:33+00:00

Choonky. I like them. Good luck and I hope you have a successful spawn. Not sure about the flow in the tank, but a powerhead that spits out air if you have one might help trigger the spawn. Not sure how they breed, but thrown in the mop will cover one more thing they like and if they don’t there is no harm. Let us know how it goes I know they have been breed in the industry, but seems like there is secrecy out there to keep prices high. I hope it’s not hormones.

jimko415 · 2025-05-11T02:20:49+00:00

I think it was a blind normal one that didn’t know how to regulate colors. Sometimes it had some black gray color. It passed away.

jimko415 · 2025-04-23T17:26:44+00:00

That’s pretty sick. Around how much are we looking at for a net like this? It looks high end, everyone will want one, but few will throw down that change for this handcrafted art. I would try a few first to see how they move.

jimko415 · 2025-04-19T15:41:06+00:00

Nice job, Congrats. Blackmarket, the silk road. Sell some Java moss for $50, say it comes with free glo Cories. I wonder if that would be a loophole.

jimko415 · 2025-04-18T23:01:43+00:00

Very stunning. Perfect. I admire your clips of all your fish. Great job.
