RT6/85 | | Water conditions: Neutral | Water temperature: 28oC+ | | Disposition: Active, but not aggresive | Community tank?: Doubtful, only with VERY calm fish | | Spawning Method: Peat (or similar) spawning substrate | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Roughly equal | Breeding difficulty: Easy | | Sucess: Fairly unsucessful | Years Experience: | | Other Comments: This strain was distributed into the hobby by W. Putz (DKG) from his trip to Togo in 1985. The biggest problem I experienced was velvet with the fry - once they made it to the adult stage, they were easy to breed and maintain. I usually ended with a few extra females. (I also kept the Mali stain for a while but always had a problem with them - very male heavy and extremely aggressive). | | Date this record created: 18th July 2003 | Breeding date: | | Breeder: Tony Pinto | Location: USA |
