Average success

Breeding Report: Aphyosemion ocellatum

Water conditions: Moderately soft and acidic, 20-23^oC

Spawning Method: Spawning Mops

Sex ratio: Roughly equal

Breeding difficulty: Average

Success: Average

Other Comments: Parents do not molest their young, which seem to grow on better when left in the breeding tank. Sudden mortality rate increase with juveniles and previously with Nzenzele strain possibly due to insufficient furnishing of container and subsequent stress. Juveniles in dark, well furnished tank seem OK. Males take a while to colour up - look for the dark edging to the unpaired fins first.
