Brichardi

[the blur]

I have a pair of Brichardi that are at least 15 years old .
Is this a record ??
They are living in a 20L tank.

I think it is

How big are they? How many times have they bred? Also, any other thinks linked to them, andd their longlivity, would be interesting to hear

they have bred many many times, but the fry usually die. I have 6 offsping. The male has developed a hump, and definately is bigger. It's not the size of a fontasa hump, but definately a hump.

I don't change the water that much at all. I run a sponge filter, and 2 wisper power filters. and 2 heaters.
they seem to like cooler temps like 73-74, where my Mubma tank runs about 80F.

I'd like to see a picture of these "20 yr old" Brichardi....

First, i would like to see theese brichardi. Second, a 20l is way way to tiny. That is like what 4 or 5 gallons? You need about 80l as a minnimum( AROUND 2O gallons). Third, how long are they?

still waiting for pictures

maybe he was counting in dog years?

 

[kribensis12]

I am not saying that is impossible, but i think they wouldve died in such a small tank, escpeically becasue they would be stunted and that can be detremental.

20 Long, not 20 liter. there is a 20 High tank, and a 20Long tank. 20 gallons of water.
and at least 15 years old, possible more since I brought them from a chain store. feel free to come over and check them out if your ever in NY.

Can you post a pic, becasue i live in illinois.

 

[WaterBender1995]

It's super easy to post a pic, if you need help just ask!
