Poor fry survival rate | | Sex ratio: Roughly equal | Breeding difficulty: Very difficult | | Sucess: Very unsucessful | Years Experience: | | Other Comments: This species need very clean conditions, with a suppurb biological balance.
I use gravel filters to help on this. Lower temperatures will help a lot to maintain good conditions. Only live food, as this pollutes less than other types of food.
Best food is black mosquito larvae, then comes the white ones.
For fry I prefer cyclops when available.
Breed the best when they are more than 1 year. | | Date this record created: 25th February 2003 | Breeding date: | | Breeder: Mogens Juhl | Location: Denmark |
