Aquarium strain | | Water conditions: Moderately soft and acidic | Water temperature: 20-23oC | | Disposition: Active, but not aggresive | Community tank?: Never | | Spawning Method: Peat (or similar) spawning substrate | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Somewhat male heavy | Breeding difficulty: Easy | | Sucess: Fairly sucessful | Years Experience: 2 | | Other Comments: it is wise, to seperate females from males for growing up.
They like weekly water-changes (50%) - breeding easily, lots of eggs, incubation-time is about 100 days. | | Date this record created: 15th August 2008 | Breeding date: | | Breeder: Leo Wurzer | Location: Austria |

Location code:
Aquarium strain | | Water conditions: Moderately soft and acidic | Water temperature: 20-23oC | | Disposition: Active, but not aggresive | Community tank?: Never | | Spawning Method: Peat (or similar) spawning substrate | Breeding problems:
Poor egg survival | | Sex ratio: Roughly equal | Breeding difficulty: Difficult | | Sucess: Fairly unsucessful | Years Experience: 5 | | Other Comments: High temperatures, over moist peat during storage, and extended storage times (over 3 months at 23C ) will cause fry deformities.
Best results are from 3 months at 21C max.
Fry grow rapidly, and are easy to raise, but not many hatch (compared to e.g. nigripinnis.) | | Date this record created: 13th August 2002 | Breeding date: 15th July 2002 | | Breeder: Dave Wood. | Location: Nrthampton |
