Hi James,

In that case I know some people who have them...
Cheers

Hi szentgyo,
Do your B. stripes produce babies in lots of different colours?

Mine sometimes come out with yellow , orange or even green bodies.
Its always the females though.
I'm trying to select some of these different ones into different tanks.

It is very intresting, could you share some more photo? What is your water parameters? Do you keep them alone or there is another species in the tank?
Thanks

Sorry I don't have any pictures of them right now.
I'll try and take some soon.
My water is just tap water with a pH of 8.1,GH 12, and KH 8.
They are now kept on thier own........I found they didn't compete very well with other species.
Regards
James |

Thanks for the info, and I am waiting for the pictures 
I keep them with red cherry, but i will separate them, because cherrys breed much more fast. |
