Who breeds what?

2 of my friends are breeding discus and malawis. They're only my age(13) so nothing big at the moment.

 

My Geophagus surinamensis breed from time to time.

 

Discus, Ancistrus, Rams, and Severums, and hopefully soon tiger hill stream loaches.

 

I breed Zaire blue (Moba) Frontosa for Stone Aquatics, a sponsor on this site. My frontosa spawn every 3rd month but not always successfully.

 

i breed white cloud mountain minnows in a 3800ltr pool

 

My red cherry and blue cherry shrimp breed themselves as do my Japanese blue endlers, Cardinal babaulti complex shrimp and african jewel cichlids. Trying to get my pea puffers to breed but no luck as yet.

 

Anyone breeding harlequin rasboras?

 

So since their are a few people on here breading shrimp, I've got these two shrimp in my tank (see picture).


Would I be correct in saying that the top one is a female and the bottom one is a male?
(This photo was taken a few days ago and have since rearranged my tank)

 

At this stage only my snails are breeding lol my danios neo tetras and albino cories. Have decided to abstain and join a nunery

 

I will be attempting to breed neons at the end of the month , hectic amount of research and preperation going into this one.

 

Silly question @col182 female neons do they look different to the males ?

 

Only a very slight difference , females (when egg laden) have round bellies , because of the round belly the blue line across the body looks more curved then on the males who's line will appear more striaght , but it is not a fool proof method

 

Thanks @col182 will study them tonight when I get home I have to kinds of neons the blue and red then the black striped kind although those have a different body shape I also read that neons like water that has a lot of tannins from wood and a quite heavly planted tank ?

 

yip that's it , but it gets a whole lot more complicated , they need very specific water conditions for breeding, gh 1-2, ph at least a 6 but lower is better , light has to be blocked out once they spawn because both the eggs and the fry are light sensitive and will die if exposed to too much light , lol like I said , hectic amount of research and preperation.

 

Lol sounds hectic you must keep. Me informed with your progress will be interesting to see how you come along

 

No problem , will prob start a thread once all the prep is done and the process is started

 

Will defintly be a follower of. That thread
