Gephyrochromis Moorii...
Here is a fish that I bought a few years back from Misterted.
I bred the group and many people ended up with fry or, in one case, the adult group.
Anyone out there breeding these?
Any pics?

I got rid of my group but I have about 8 - 2" juvies.

I have some of yours that are now adults. They were actually trying to breed the other day but 2 other males (Yellow lab, Hongi) were eating the eggs before the female could swing around and scoop them up. It looked like she was holding some eggs, but the next morning her mouth looked empty. In the past some of the females held for a day or two and that was it. I am starting to wonder if the male is shooting blanks.

I've got a group that I thought were G. moorii--Now I'm not sure exactly what I've got, but I like them :grin:

I still have a group but they don't breed any more. I think it's because it's too crowded in my 75G. This is one of my favorite species.

Hell Ted, your pics are convincing me that mine are correctly labeled!

I know Nick, I looked around to make sure yours were the right species first.
No doubt about it.
