Location code:
Aquarium strain
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 substrateBreeding problems:
Skewed sex ratio
Sex ratio: Almost all malesBreeding difficulty: Average
Sucess: Fairly unsucessfulYears Experience: 2
Other Comments: This batch had about 10 individuals. Unluckily they were all male. This is such a slow grower, but it is also quite long-lived. The batch of furzeri I hatched at the same time are all long gone, yet these clearly still young fish, with lots of life left. One fish wildly outgrew the others, but didn't seem to eat it's siblings, though easily big enough to; they are very peaceful.

Other Comments: This notho is one of the easier species. They are not particularly canabalistic, and are unfussy eaters. They are not shy, but tend to take quite a while to colour up. There are pictures of fully grown adults on my killiblog
