Breeding Report: Aphyosemion marginatum
Water conditions: Neutral, 20-23oC
Spawning Method: Spawning Mops
Sex ratio: Roughly equal
Breeding difficulty: Very easy
Success: Very successful
Other Comments: A great flashy Aphy, this fish will spawn heavy with constant live foods. with frozen or NLS the spawn was greatly reduced. After 2 days I fed the fry micros for 3 days and then on to golden pearls 100-200 mic and bbs. For the parents mostly BBS, daphnia and grindals. For best results feed Your grindals quality food such as Omega one, kensfish color formula or NLS. These are 10 day hatches in water, but up to 17 days on peat. Water hatched 100%, peat is around 70%. Add blue meth or acriflavin to water to prevent fungus on eggs. In a large 30 gallon plus planted tank, they can be kept with Rams and other killies.
