Gezani TAN 95/16 | | Water conditions: Moderately hard and alkaline | Water temperature: 24-27oC | | 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: Average | | Sucess: Fairly sucessful | Years Experience: 5 | | Other Comments: After keeping this strain for several years and ALWAYS getting a sex ratio of 5:1 females:males, this time I got a 50:50 ratio. We had a particularly hot summer this year, and my eggs were cooking in their bags. By the time I hatched them, temperatures were back to normal. Perhaps higher egg storage temperature is the key? | | Date this record created: 28th November 2003 | Breeding date: 28th August 2003 | | Breeder: Jules | Location: UK |
