[miguelgr7]

This is the second successful spawning of them with the fry, the first spawning only left 2 fry, now there are many more and they are growing very well.

What did you do to get them to breed? Mine haven't shown any desire to breed (yet) ?

Is this the same as a. wolli? I was looking at tom's website and payminosis is either wolli or feconat depending on catch location or is there a third payminosis ?

Actually i looked at the females in your video and they are not wolli. The other thing as a nijjensi complex your females seem awful friendly with each other much likd the a. ladisalo - the wolli i have have shown extreme aggression.

I didn't do anything extraordinary with them, I just kept them in a 10 gallon tank where I can better maintain the parameters for them.

The differences I could see are that the D3 has a blue anal fin and they are from Colombia.

I ediited my post - the females are very different and they are much more passive to each other.

What temperature ? I have two groups one in a 40 which has a bunch - 2 or 3 regressive males and a large dominant male and at least 3 females and a 2nd group in a 29 by themselves er i mean m/f by themselves. These guys have shown extreme passive though in the 40 2 of the females dislike each other so they stay on opposite side with little conflict - though i have to feed them in both locations. To my knowledge neither group have tried to breed. The a. wolli purchased at the same time have bred 4 or so times - kind of wish she would take a break.

The temperature I keep for them is 79, pH 5.1 and low TDS 54, with that configuration it works well for me with them.

Ok - mine are in softer water - ec around 30 the temp is closer to 77 so i can try to raise it a couple of degrees.

A. wolli and sp. "D3", although similar in appearance are 2 different species and are found in 2 different locations. D3 females should exhibit 2 lateral spots in brood dress, like A. payaminonis from Ecuador, while A. wolli females exhibit only 1 lateral spot in brood dress.

Excellent information Mike.
