Soothing Shrimp Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 My fem just died and I'd like to go in a different direction. However to do this, I need to rehome my male. The male convict is 5" with very long flowing points and nice coloration. He's bred around 4 times, all successfully. Hopefully some will be able to use him as a nice stud or show fish. I'm only asking $5 plus your choice of shipping. I need to move him out. Johnnydok, Edwardnah and MableBile 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Will your local fish store take him off your hands for store credit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I have places like petsmart here. Mom and pop shops were pretty much shut down because of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChadO Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Is he shrimp safe? I have a tank full of Red Zebra Pinto Tibees that I think he'd do wonderful in... Lyana, shrimpfreak and High5's 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phreeflow Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Nice looking convict...u took good care of him! Never seen one with such a long tail. Maybe you could breed out a long fin variety Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phreeflow Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 It may be possible, but interested in a elec rams now. That's too bad as you would be the perfect candidate to work on this fish with all your knowledge on genetics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Honestly it would have to do more with modifiers and selective breeding. Which would mean keeping fry until adults, and using more space than I have right now. They are beautiful fish though. They remind me of squirrels. Heh Thank you for the confidence though.

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Sold to someone on a fish forum. After talking to him, I feel better about someone taking the time to breed him out into a possible longfin strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 do you know what you are going to breed next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 My new goal will be to selectively breed elec blue rams to cover the bald head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
