aci golu | | Water conditions: Very hard and alkaline | Water temperature: 10-15oC | | Disposition: Somewhat aggresive on occasions | Community tank?: Never | | Spawning Method: Other (see below) | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Somewhat female heavy | Breeding difficulty: Easy | | Sucess: Fairly sucessful | Years Experience: 3 | | Other Comments: In addition to very hard alkaline water have added 2 teaspoonfuls of aquarium salt to each bucket of water. Plant growth poor, but filament algae do well. Eggs laid on algae, so just remove algae to fresh tank and watch fry emerge. Keep at ambient temperature, no need to heat, seem to hibernate or become inactive in winter, beleived to be necessary for successful breeding. Eat algae but grow best on live food like brine shrimp. Males attractive in breeding colours but do fight. | | Date this record created: 19th April 2007 | Breeding date: 31st December 2005 | | Breeder: bill willis | Location: Kent |
