Re: KillieTalk Digest V3 #1260



I have this strain and mine are throwing off 90% FEMALES.  They spawn in 
floating mops.  Egg production is variable and the fish respond well to water 
changes and a diverse diet.  My oldest pair was bought as fry as part of a 
box exchange with the Arizona club (where I also got my Aphanius mento).   I 
have one younger male and a bunch of females.  I also have a number of fry 
coming up and hope to get some more males.  My water is pH 7.4, TDS 180 - 
200.  They are in unheated tanks at a temp of 68 - 73.  I feed them frozen 
brine shrimp, frozen blood worms, and live wingless drosophila.

 Subject: Rivulus Agilae "Mont De Meheury" (looking for breeding tips)
 
 I acquired two pairs of these neat little fish at the convention - which is
 good. I was told that they produce 80% males - which is no so good.  Does
 anyone out there get even sex ratios? If so I would like to hear your
 formula for success. The fish made it back and are currently settling in I
 would like to start breeding them soon. By the way, should I use bottom or
 floating mops?
 
 Thanks in advance for your help.>>
