Breeding:
Incubation time:
12-14 days in water
Size of the fry:
First food to the fry:
infusorians and new hatch artemia
Temperature in the aquarium: 22-24 C
Remarks: The males are variable in the color and it depends on age and temperament witch color they have at the moment.
How we keep them: We prefer to keep them in groups with 3-4 males and 4-6 females in a 40 liters aquarium with lots of floating hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum) , some snails and sometimes a small Ancistrus
sp. Normally we don’t collect the eggs, the fishes produce enough fry in the aquarium for our needs. The best way to breed them is to keep one pair in a small aquarium with peat, a floating mop and some plants for one week. After that the fishes are removed and hopefully there will hatch some fry after one more week. If I want to send a pair to a convention, I kept the pair in there own aquarium, so the fins on the male are as good as possible.
