Tank volume is not that important, footprint dimensions are key.
As an aside, people outside the USA are not familiar with phrases like 20 breeder. US gallons are also different to imperial gallons. Litres are, thankfully, the same the world over.
I’m hopeful that I would know they were “steel blue” no matter what they were labelled as.
Borellii are very distinctive and not easy to confuse with anything else, males and females.
Thanks but I’m not keeping many fish these days as I only have two tanks.
You might want to post in the for sale section and include where you are in the world.
Apologies if this has been discussed before.
Saw this post on facebook. Anyone know about A. sp Maravilha?
Looks like A.trigasciata to me in some ways.
Thanks
Unless you have a commercial need to raise fry for sale, I would allow the female to keep trying. Have you tried removing the male after spawning? Is there anything you could do to change the tank layout to see if that makes a difference?
Good luck.
Old thread alert.
I have had a colony on N. multifasciatus for at least 20 years.
They are in a 70 litre tank. As well as snail shells I use coral sand as a substrate. Helps buffer our soft Scottish water. When I do water changes, I add some magnesium sulphate and sodium bicarbonate.
