Australoheros "oblongum" breeding pairs

[CHK-Cichlids]

I have 2 mated pairs of Australoheros "oblongum"s available. They have produced viable eggs so they are proven. Males are about 2-2.5 inches and females about 1.5-2. They are behind the java moss most of the time and so is too dark to take a good picture, but I have pictures of their parents on this link:

I have in mind $28/pair. Let me know if you are interested, thanks!

Wow!

Those are really nice!

how big do these get? are they aggressive?

[CHK-Cichlids]

The males get about 5 inches and females 4. Actually I find them on the shy side and are aggressive only to conspecifics. I actually need dither fish to help coax them into the open.

Thanks for the compliments, eklikewhoa :)

maybe i'm confused. which fish are for sale? The breeding pair, or their offspring? Would these fish go well with Severums, Oscars, Green Terror or Texas Cichlids?

[eklikewhoa]

I believe it states in the sale thread...

"mated pair"
"pictures are of parents"

So these are the offspring which are now at breeding age and mated?

eklikewhoa is correct - these mated pairs came from my batch of juveniles - or rather what I have left of them from my move here from PA. Unfortunately, I only have my main breeding male left - my breeding female jumped out in the middle of the night last year so the lesson is to remember to keep the tank covered...

I would say that they should do fine with severums and oscars, but green terrors or texas may be too aggressive for them unless you have a really large tank.
