Aquarium strain | | Water conditions: Moderately soft and acidic | Water temperature: 20-23oC | | Disposition: Active, but not aggresive | Community tank?: Yes, a good community fish | | Spawning Method: Adult fish removed from tank | Breeding problems:
Poor egg production | | Sex ratio: Somewhat female heavy | Breeding difficulty: Easy | | Sucess: Average | Years Experience: | | Other Comments: I bred them a small tank with sand and peat and java moss. The parents might even prefer the sandy bottom over the peat. I removed the parents and left the eggs in the water and after 5 weeks the young appear.
Not may eggs and young, but in a sex-ratio of 1 male, 2 females, which is perfectly right for breeding further. Nice and friendly fish, eat any live or dried food. | | Date this record created: 7th August 2003 | Breeding date: | | Breeder: Rob Luiken | Location: Wageningen (NL) |
