    Copella (?) id?

    I tried posting a video but it's not an allowed file type. Will get some pictures at some point.

    Copella (?) id?

    A while back Tom told me these were C. compta. Since this time I have bred different batches on several occasions. Now the Marinho revision has me unsure as to whether they are C. compta or C. eigenmanni. I tried doing a scale count on a dead male and it seems to fit with the latter, however, I...

    I just put the eggs in a separate tub and hatch them.

    Did anyone ever have any joy with breeding Copella vilmae?

    5 foot biotopish!

    Touch wood, but I don't really get sick fish. Just old ones usually.

    These are from a month or two ago.

    Copella callolepis (sensu Zarske)

    I have jars full of Paramecium, but may add some as well.

    Copella callolepis (sensu Zarske)

    They should eat infusoria after a few days. I have a batch incubating now.

    The Spathyphyllum on the right was 45 inches from the crown to the tip of the flower.

    For anyone that is interested, this is what this tank looks like these days after a house move or two.

    Copella callolepis (sensu Zarske)

    I had lots of fry from these and have just put some young males in to breed with some females... it's hotting up a bit.

    Extremely shy Paracheirodon simulans

    P. simulans can be quite skittish I find. Amazing fish though. Whenever I move mine from one tank to another to breed (or try to get them to breed again!) they tend to hide away. They're also very quick to hide when you try to catch them. I find, like most tetras, they're much more at ease when...

    Breeding splash tetras....

    It certainly looks like pre-spawning behaviour. When they spawn, the male and female will move side by side, making almost an 's' shape with their bodies.

    Breeding splash tetras....

    It was floating and a bit wedged into place near the surface. They spawn on the upper side of surfaces less than 1cm below the water level: this has included bogwood, glass ledge where I overfilled so water was about half a cm above the ledge, floating dried leaves (just below the surface)...

    Breeding splash tetras....

    Glad there's another Copella fan out there: they're a great genus. As a note, I have had C. compta breed on floating sycamore leaves recently too!
