Location code:
Chunga | | Water conditions: Moderately hard and alkaline | Water temperature: 20-23oC | | Disposition: Somewhat aggresive on occasions | Community tank?: Doubtful, only with VERY calm fish | | Spawning Method: Peat (or similar) spawning substrate | Breeding problems:
Poor fry survival rate | | Sex ratio: Somewhat male heavy | Breeding difficulty: Average | | Sucess: Average | Years Experience: 3 | | Other Comments: Cover for the fry (plants, mops ) helps ensure more females surviving. Also, feed heavy with brine shrimp nauplii after initial infusoria and microworm to ensure females get enough food. After the fry get a half inch long, they are quite hardy. | | Date this record created: 10th April 2005 | Breeding date: 10th April 2004 | | Breeder: Darrell Romine | Location: WA state, USA |

Eggs eye-up long before being ready to hatch. | | Date this record created: 1st October 2003 | Breeding date: | | Breeder: Tyrone Genade | Location: South Africa |
