Breeding Report: Epiplatys sexfasciatus sexfasciatusLocation code: Song Ndong
Water conditions: Moderately soft and acidic, 20-23oC
Spawning Method: Adult fish removed from tank
Breeding problems: Poor egg survival
Sex ratio: Almost all females
Breeding difficulty: Easy
Success: Fairly successful
Other Comments: Loads of eggs are produced, but several are contaminated with funghi probably due to my lazy method of just removing the adult fish from the hatch tank. First young apear after 12 days. In 4 batches I got about 40 females to grow adult and just 1 male. See that other aquarists have it completely the other way round.
The male had a completely different colour scheme than the father.
Also the male was found in the big tank were all the adults live and was not hatched in the small tanks. So there must be a secret ingredient that balances the sex ratio. I keep on experimenting with temperature but don't know what it is yet.
