    Borellii fry

    yes... I am confused on what I saw... each female seemed to care for their fry at the right time, in quiet separate moments. But obviously something is not going well. I will try to find out what, having in mind all of your comments. Thanks a lot!

    Borellii fry

    May be males need a little time to learn...hope so! On the other hand, I had that Nijsseni male who chased away the mother and took control of parenthood all the way long till the fry was out of danger. In the borelli case it looks like females fight and fight, chasing him away until they get...

    Borellii fry

    Yes Mike. Is it possible that females eat the fry of the others? Curiously it is like there is each day a little less fry from each female and then, ops, they are gone... How many times a day do you advice to feed fry, either with microworms, BBS or both? thank you so much!

    Borellii fry

    Thank you, Gerald and Mike. I feed the tank with Panagrellus. But this time, in view of the difficulty, I also started to feed newly hatched artemia as well (hating it). My former male (the father of these Borelliis) was the kindest with her female… I raised many little ones from different...

    Sphagnum peat bottom

    Hi All! This is my small killi fish tank. There is only a female of Austrolebia nigripinnis (a gift from the guys on the video taking killis from the hole!!). She is in there since 13 months now. The male died several months ago. The bottom is just peat, and plants are just there… No filter, no...

    Borelli vs Panduro

    And if you add latter some dead dry leaves (oak, maple, catalpa, Persea, acer, magnolia) to create a leaf litter that will do the rest too!

    one of my girls

    Hi Gerald! This is the only kind of decent picture of a male that I have. There were very few males, mostly females (probably because of the high pH of my water I guess). I kept two, the one on the picture which died a few months ago and a second one which is small and poorly colored. Still...

    Yes, René, you can give them a try (the Serpae) and be aware! They are a beauty. Eichornia is an amazing plant.
