Breeding Report: Aphyosemion bitaeniatumWater conditions: Moderately hard and alkaline, 20-23oC
Spawning Method: Spawning Mops
Sex ratio: Somewhat male heavy
Breeding difficulty: Easy
Success: Fairly successful
Other Comments: The first species I have bred, and probably not a bad beginner fish. Adults will take crushed pellets as will fry. Growth rate has been very slow in my hands. I am getting slightly more males, I think possibly due to cannilalism at the fry stage?
Seems to cope very wellwith hard London water, unlike Australe orange which need the water softening before spawning. Eggs extremely small compared to other Killifish eggs I've seen, so need sharp eyes to spot them.
