Moapa River | | Water conditions: Moderately hard and alkaline | Water temperature: 24-27oC | | Disposition: Active, but not aggresive | Community tank?: Yes, a good community fish | | Spawning Method: Spawning Mops | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Roughly equal | Breeding difficulty: Easy | | Sucess: Fairly sucessful | Years Experience: | | Other Comments: Eggs arrived on plants collected from the Moapa River. All disposed of when the legal status of captive populations was determined (a no-no in USA).
Beautiful aquarium fish with golden brown basic colors and bright gold flashing dorsal bands when males are courting, which is almost all the time.
Had to remove mops for hatch as juveniles apparently are predatory on eggs and babies.
They eat flakes, frozen or live foods, but the latter may be needed for good egg production. | | Date this record created: 8th March 2003 | Breeding date: | | Breeder: J. Wellington Wheelbase III | Location: California |
