Poor egg production | | Sex ratio: Somewhat male heavy | Breeding difficulty: Difficult | | Sucess: Average | Years Experience: 5 | | Other Comments: They seem to have a non-productive period which can last 2 to 4 months.
Egg production will increase by feeding them live food such as mosquito larvae etc.
Being small in size a 5 gallon tank for 1 or 2 pairs would be sufficient. If tank is heavily planted, fry can be observed along with the adults. | | Date this record created: 15th July 2008 | Breeding date: | | Breeder: | Location: |
