Location code: Aquarium strain | | Water conditions: Moderately soft and acidic | Water temperature: 20-23oC | | Disposition: Slightly timid | Community tank?: Doubtful, only with VERY calm fish | | Spawning Method: Peat (or similar) spawning substrate | Breeding problems: none | | Sex ratio: Somewhat male heavy | Breeding difficulty: Average | | Sucess: Average | Years Experience: | | Other Comments: There is a conservation project established for this species. Please contact me if you are interested at yodeman@lycos.com As far as food goes, I feed allot of BBS, white worms, smaller or chopped up black worms, frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms, Sanders Black gold flake, and small granule salmon chow. They're not too fussy. Growth rate is fairly quick and they sex out at about 3 weeks old. Incubation at 22C takes about 3 months and it's a good idea to redry the peat and try again a few weeks later. | | Date this record created: 7th November 2002 | Breeding date: | | Breeder: Ron Anderson | Location: USA |
