Oxyopsis gracilis adults

I've got 3 adult females and 2 adult males. I'm only breeding one but that will give me plenty of nymphs and ooths. I will breed the other 2 females if anyone wants to buy a mated female ($20?). PM me if interested in any of these (ooths, nymphs, adult females). I'm just trying to gauge interest. I got burned last year when I mated 10 females and no one bought any. :huh:

Personally, I really like this species. So colorful as nymphs and all different colors and patterns. Not as much variation in adults but some females are this odd shade of blue/green, and I've had one that was a pear yellow/green.

Like I said, nobody.

I guess I should have said "almost no body". You and a couple others, but that's it.

how communal are these guys? are they skittish?

i would certainly buy a mated female from u

They also can be keep together =)

i have a 12.20 (adult) group and they are not really canibalistic (only a few males get eaten)

i love them

Extremely friendly and curious. Like little monkeys! Once you set them free they roam all over looking around, taking everything in. Personality-wise, I'd say one of the best species available.

They are as communal as Ghosts, which means you can see occasional cannibalism and females get more aggressive as they mature. I raise mine communally, then separate by sex at pre or sub. It's fun to have a net cage full of them if you put in lots of branches.
