    Help breeding Pelvichromis Taeniatus 'nigerian red'?

    So there are a few coconut caves, a big piece of driftwood and a big pot plant. I can add lots of leaf litter as well as a terra cotta pot for a cave. Here is a pic It's got a fluval 207 for filtration and got the new female as well as 7 baby Rosy Barb's. Is this ok to breed the pair in?

    Help breeding Pelvichromis Taeniatus 'nigerian red'?

    So I got a new female a week and a bit ago and she is doing well. Do you need sand to breed these fish because I have a 30 gallon with a bare bottom?

    Help breeding Pelvichromis Taeniatus 'nigerian red'?

    That makes sense, I will try to be alert but I will always have a spare tank on hand in case anything drastic happens. The female has no interest in the male currently so who knows what will happen. I have a 30 gallon on hand now so I could use that but still won't do anything if the female pays...

    Ah so in this case the extra female krib would be the target fish to entice the pair to breed? Would Rosy barb fry work as well?

    Help breeding Pelvichromis Taeniatus 'nigerian red'?

    dang, the the male is about 5cm and the female is 4 so I thought the 45cm tank was bug enough. After they are finished breeding though, I can put them in 55 gallon community. I will try the jar method, going back to the shop in a couple of weeks and hope the fish are still there! I will also try...
