Re: Inducing breeding...again?




I don't feed Brine Shrimp to ANY of my fish(except baby brine shrimp to my fry). I highly prefer redworms, mysis shrimp, and plankton. My fish highly prefer them too.  They are much more eager to eat these over BS. On a slightly side note, I finaly moved 3 Golden Wonders into my tengallon and the next day I found eggs! This was on a feeding of a few freezedried foods, frozen plankton, redworms, and mysis shrimp, and NO brine shrimp, lol. Meaning, sstop feeding brine shrimp, they are worthless as far as nutritional value goes, it's like eating papaer, and start feeding worms and stuff like that.

I have 8 Fp. Cinn. Supe that seem to have finished growing at about 1.5 to
1.75 inches. There are 3 males and 5 females. I keep them in a 10 gallon
with dark blue gravel and LOTS of plants (the gravel made a tremendous
difference in how often they came out of the plants, otherwise, I'd never
see them). (Thanks, Kean! They are great!)

I've noticed that 20% water changes really seem to get them going.
Water chemistry is:
GH = 3
KH = 2
pH = 6.5
NO2 = <0.3 gm/l
NH3/NH4 = 1.5
CO2 = 21 mg/l
(Thank the aquarium gods that this chemistry is as it is with just ageing my
tap water)

Their diet is almost exclusively frozen BS, and they seem to thrive on it.

Any and all suggestions on breeding will be appreciated.
