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: Peat (or similar) spawning substrate | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Somewhat male heavy | Breeding difficulty: Easy | | Sucess: Fairly sucessful | Years Experience: 10 | | Other Comments: great starter killi.........peat spawns would be excellent for use in the classroom/educational setting. Kids will enjoy the virtual "instant" appearance of small fish/fry. Coupled with the production of baby brine shrimp as food, this would make a great long term classroom project.

Poor fry survival rate | | Sex ratio: Roughly equal | Breeding difficulty: Easy | | Sucess: Fairly sucessful | Years Experience: 9 | | Other Comments: I have been primarily feeding new fry for approxamately 10 days with a 100-200 micron Golden Pearl Powder. You can actually see a pinkness in the belly from this food and therefore it would be fair to say it is being ingested. After 10 days they go to a mix of GP and microworms. | | Date this record created: 21st January 2005 | Breeding date: 22nd December 2004 | | Breeder: G.Hanke | Location: Alberta, canada |
