just beginning   Moderator Literature Nerd Posts: 1879 Kudos: 1380 Votes: 198 Registered: 17-Dec-2000    | Third that. And as for sexing, it's virtually impossible without venting or seeing the females holding. I wouldn't be too concerned, male labs tolerate each other quite well compared to other mbuna. Just get a large group of them and figure it out when they start breeding. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. - Oscar Wilde |
