Aquarium strain | | Water conditions: Neutral | Water temperature: 24-27oC | | Disposition: Slightly timid | Community tank?: Doubtful, only with VERY calm fish | | Spawning Method: Adult fish removed from tank | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Roughly equal | Breeding difficulty: Average | | Sucess: Fairly sucessful | Years Experience: 2 | | Other Comments: This is a really delicate little lampeye. If they have room, and a regular supply or baby brine shrimp they will thrive. In a well planted tank fry appear quite soon, and whenever I see them, I move the adults on. I think fry will be eaten, though maybe not if continually plyed with food. They do take other foods, but when they get artemia, they really do get excited
Brine shrimp does help to increase the yellow in the fins of these fish.
Generally quite hardy with regard disease (no sign at all) and water quality, but I have lost a few to jumping, but not too many
My water is an RO/tap blend to about 300ppm | | Date this record created: 3rd September 2006 | Breeding date: 1st January 2006 | | Breeder: jules | Location: UK |
