Nice coloring on the fish!

 

[Fishe]

thanks, I actually breed them

 

[BugLover]

Is the fish a german blue ram? I want a pair in my tank!

 

[Fishe]

They are bolivians. German blue rams are almost all inbreed and genetically messed up unless they are wild. They also only live 5-6 months max, although usually less. They are prettier, but im happy with my bolivians?

 

[BugLover]

I thought bolivians were more tan-ish. Oh well, they're still pretty!

 

[Fishe]

some more, judging by the wing buds what do you guys think, sub adult or sub-sub adult?

 

[mantid_mike]

Looks sub-adult to me.

This forum has ruined me: when I look at the pictures of the flies, all I can think of is, lunch! (For the mantids, not me.) Your camera catches so much detail, and the colors on your fish are beautiful! Looks like it was dusted in gold.

What kind of flower mantis is that? Very nice coloration...

 

[Fishe]

these are creobroter pictipennis, I have a group of three. thanks, I really like their color as well, my dad thinks they look like wasps

 

[jrh3]

creos are always one of my favorites i love there aggressiveness to eating, jump and attack, lol.

 

[Fishe]

These are my first creos and im lovin them so far. Especially during feeding, they can take things down that are the same size as them pretty much

 

[Fishe]

any other opinions on wether these are sub adult or not?

 

[jrh3]

they look like subs

 

[sinensispsyched]

Sub

 

[sally]

I love creos also. Sub.

 

[Fishe]

great thanks
