I have always had better luck with julidochromis in schools in a biotope tank. They like rock formations with lots of caves. Small spaces must be provided for fry to hide until about an inch in length. They will move out with the parents then and a fish trap is the only way to remove them...
if it were me I would eliminate the endler,the otos,and the barbs; egg thieves all.. I would replace them with more small tetras and three females and another male aggassizi. you will need to set up five breeding sites and two clusters on opposite ends of the tank for the males to declare as...
the mother will feed with the fry but if you feed her a larger flake she will break it up for the fry. The fry are a bigger worry. If the fry are properly fed they will double their size three times the first week after they become free swimming. This means they must eat a lot. To double...
Enter one more vote for macmasteri. I have seen some truly great color in healthy wild fish. I have never seen a prettier pair of caucatoides than the first wild caught pair I had.
Your tsm and your kerb may have gone to war. Both use red color to cloister fry and will therefore attack other red species. A krblob is meaner than most rams and will usually win out. A krib Iis also a hard water African, the catfish I could not say without knowing specirs, but the rest are...
I usually move the parents at sic weeks if not before. From that point the fry will grow faster if mom and dad aren"t eating all the food. Two are easier to move than whole brood.
Two possible answers. Both stem from spawn activity. Most likely is that you removed wrong fish and lost spawn. Female golden eyes will often become aggressive with males after spawning.
Second is that the cherry barbs are actually the culprits. Females usually go for eyes not find and scales...
Rams will attack red colored fish, and females tend to be particularly aggressive. Stems from fact that their fry school on red. If there are other red predators in Ares the fry will swim right to them. I have had rsmd attack fire mouth cichlids through the glass when tanks wrtr side by side...
Actually German Blue is a hybridized color form. A regular ram is lightly speckled, a German Blue has more blue coloration, and an electric blue has an absrncrbof other markings being nearly entirely metallic blur.
I am 62 I've been keeping Aquarium for 50 years currently have 2000 gallons in tanks in my house I specialise in breeding of all species. I have currently bred 763 species. My primary interests currently are caucatoides, aggassizi, discus, and the three dwarf corydorus species. I only consider...
