Re: Breeding Nematolebias whitei (Thanks for the input)

Hi, folks,

Many thanks to everyone who responded to my question the other day.  

I know the water in my tanks is a bit warm for the whitei but there's
nothing much I can do about it.  It's easy to heat up a tank but very
difficult to lower the temperature.  

I thought I could see the whitei eggs if they were there as I saw the
eggs of my Simp magnificus and Austrolebias nigripinnis.  I managed to
get these 2 fish to lay eggs in high temperatures so I thought it
shouldn't be too much of a problem for the whitei.  To tell the truth, I
was half expecting someone to tell me that I'm using too many females.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that if there's more than one
female in the breeding tank, they will eat the eggs of the other
females.

Fortunately, I didn't throw away the peat.  I will see if there is fry 6
weeks later.
