A run down on my set up, i don't now...what is a run down?? (now you see how bad my englisch is )
I'm breeding a lot off these fish, somtimes i've got > 500(several spawns), somtimes les.
On my attick i have 12 tanks in different sises, not nice to look at, but functional.
I always take 5 well fed fish, 2 female's and 3 males (the alfa's), and i put them in a tank with java moos , and very much plants.
The waterlevel is only 25/30 cm, no filter, only a airstone (is that the right word?)
In the time they are in the breeding tank, i feed them with live food like brine shrimp, and red muscito larve (the black one's stay to high by the waterlevel, and so do the white one's to).
That on a dayly base.
These fish aet mostely from the bottom off the tank while spawning.
Feeding them while spawning prefent them from aeting most of the eggs and fry.
The fry that make it to the watersurvase wil therefore survive
After 5 til 7 days i take my 5 fish out the tank and than i wait.
My newest experiment is breeding in a bucket...that also works fine, and is a nice low budget solution
The biggest spawn i had was over 180 fry from 5 fish in 5 days....yes i'm addicted
Here a few pics, sorry for the bad quality, its a simple camera, and i'm not so good in making pictures
This is a 80 cm tank and in these tank are 240, 8 and 10 week old fry on the picture aeting brine shrimp.
