Poor egg survival | | Sex ratio: Almost all females | Breeding difficulty: Difficult | | Sucess: Average | Years Experience: 2 | | Other Comments: Fish likes clean water for any egg production. Warm very shallow > 2inches. Often eggs are layed out of water. Very large 2.5 mm eggs. Sexation very slow often near impossible even as breeding young adults. Candling from behind has resulted in the best method of sexation with ovum appearing in the bellies of females. Males tend to have slightly different pattern in the fins. Males can be quite territorial and aggressive. | | Date this record created: 31st May 2004 | Breeding date: 31st May 2004 | | Breeder: Lee Van Hyfte | Location: Iowa, USA |
