Aquarium strain | | Water conditions: Neutral | Water temperature: 20-23oC | | Disposition: Active, but not aggresive | Community tank?: Only with species of similar size | | Spawning Method: Long term (fry appear with adults) | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Roughly equal | Breeding difficulty: Easy | | Sucess: Very sucessful | Years Experience: 12 | | Other Comments: In 1992 I bought 2 pairs in Vienna (suppose GBN88/8).
2 females were placed in a 40l tank with 1-2cm peat for two days. Then one male was added. Immediately both females placed themselves next to the male and wanted to spawn. The male flee.....
With this two pairs and the a.m. method (every two weeks the pawn was collected and dried, after another 21 days I putted it into fresh water)I counted within 3 months approx. 450 baby fishes. The best result was in a 14 days period 160 baby fishes!
(approx. values: 1st trial: 8 pcs. 2nd: 25, 3rd: 60, 4th 110, 5th 160, 6th 60 then I stopped)
At my the next attempt with the new generation I only got 8 baby fishes!!!
I am convinced it depends on the right partners!
Now I am breeding all my Killies at a long term method where I collect the young fishes while the pair of adults are still present in the plant-overcrowded tank (>50 litres).
