Hi, about 5 months ago I managed to snag 30 Dicrossus sp. Tapajos (they were being sold as Discrossus maculatus). They had the "dash" type spotting from the start and now that they have grown out they are dead ringers for the pictures in the Cichlid Atlas. I have an abundance of males (and would sell a few) and about 7 females. The males have colored up nicely and have good finnage. I think they are ready to breed but I have not seen any displaying (except with the males fighting among themselves). Does anyone have experience with them? I've bred maculatus and filamentosa by putting them in a 40G breeder with very soft, acidic(pH 5.5) water, feeding live foods and letting nature do its thing. Doesn't seem to be working with these guys. Should I try taking the pH even lower? Or raising the temp (they are at 78 degrees)? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
