Steve GT Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Lol truequite a few eggs will get eaten or not hatch though. from what I've heared normally mollies get a max of around 50 but you never know lolluckily the local dealer will probably take them off my hands for me if they do lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 very nice dude, that plec is particularly pretty, if u put live platns in tho choose them carefully, he will eat things like Amazon Swords but not Anubis or Cryptocorns.also, the aquatic frog, lol, pretty illegal to import and sell those now by all accounts. mark got one while he still worked in the shop and tells me they were then made illegal as if they are released they can survive and threaten indigenous populations. lol.looking good tho dude!Phil.
