I got 8 blue zambia occies yesterday ( I asked for 6, but there was 2 extras in the shells) They are in a 40 breeder . I guess I will have to remove some males as they mature.

Very nice! Congrats on your new fish.

I'm actually cycling a tank now and hope to keep blue occies as well!

Nice fish :thumb: A 40B's a nice size for those. Maybe you'll get lucky and get a 2-3m/5-6f ratio.

Thanks Prov, I'm really hoping for that kind of M/F ratio. Have you had these before? I was curios about what size they start breeding

Very nice, yours are the first ones I've seen which are actually blue!

I've had the gold's, which are similar. Yours look a bit small to be breeding, but I'd guess within 6 months or so.

That's what I figured, These range from just under to a little over an inch. My brevis started when the males were about 1.5, females 1"
