Location code:
pucallpa '01 | | Water conditions: Neutral | Water temperature: 20-23oC | | Disposition: Slightly timid | Community tank?: Doubtful, only with VERY calm fish | | Spawning Method: Other (see below) | Breeding problems:
Poor egg survival | | Sex ratio: Almost all males | Breeding difficulty: Average | | Sucess: Average | Years Experience: 2 | | Other Comments: parents and eggs are sensative to pollution. Eggs are best picked from strands of java moss. breed in rather shallow water <2 inches. Very soft neutral water is used for maintenance. Large cool water changes will induce spawning behavior. 3 different forms have been kept with varying results. Padre island, pebas, and pucallpa(often referred to as speciosus but unlikely) Pebas is by far the prettiest form I have seen of the fish and more difficult to produce. | | Date this record created: 31st May 2004 | Breeding date: 31st May 2004 | | Breeder: Lee Van Hyfte | Location: Iowa, USA |
