Hi all

I decided to sell a few of these as well - very nice community fish (with calm fish) and stunning colours as you can see...

A few males available as well as a breeding pair or two.


My actual fish:





What they look like when they get a bit older:

Bump...

 

How do one breed these?

 

You would like to see me and my wife separated. If I get some of them they should have their own tank, and unfortunately I have received my 5 tank max final warning. Stunning fishes btw

 

@Vis they are peat spawners, smallish tank with a sponge filter and a layer of peat or a small container with peat and thats it... one male to one or more females, egg incubation time is a few weeks depending on the temperature.

 

he he he! remember it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!!!

 

Hi there. How long do these fish live in a tank?

 

@Eugene depends on the temperature... They are annuals but can live longer under cooler temps... It's also not a hard and fast rule.

 

They are absolutely stunning little fish, and I am considering breeding them.

Sorry for the questions, but i know nothing about them.

Do you have to let the eggs dry out or can the eggs stay in the peat moss in the tank?

At what temp do they life longer in the tank?

At what temp do the eggs breed out?

 

@Eugene you will not be sorry!! They are stunning little fish and one of my favourites!

It is far better to remove the peat form the tank and lettting the eggs incubate that way. Yiu can fill the bottom of a small (10 liter) tank and let them do their thing for say two weeks or use the method I prefer: Put some peat in a small plastic container inside the tank and remove same after a week or two... No mess no fuss.. Remove peat form container, remove excess moisture and store in darkness at a stable temperature of about 24 deg C.

Their normal temp range is 22-26 deg and then they have a lifespan of up to 18 months. If you run the tank a bit coller they should live longer.

Eggs are ready for hatching from 3 months onwards, the higher the temp the quicker they incubate...

PM me your email address and I will send you some data sheets, PDF books etc... The best one is by Tyrone.

Best regards
