RE: Fp. amieti info

Hello,

2 trio of AMI survived the trip half the world with me.  I have had them for 
about 5 months now with 4 others Fundulopanchax species.  I bred the other 4 
but never ever got a single eggs from the AMI -although I found a lot of 
eggs in one of the female bag after the trip.  They do eat a lot but I guess 
they need live food to condition them to breed.  D. J. Ramsey, whom I got 
the fish from, use gravel and longstrain peat moss in their breeding tank.  
I will try that.

Good luck with the fry, Tyrone.

Hi Tyrone,

A few years ago this fish was available locally and I missed them at the
only auction they were at. I figured someone else would have them. Boy was I
wrong. A pair did get to a friend more recently, he is usually pretty good
at Fp., but he lost them double quick.  Apparently these fish are a little
more delicate than some other Fp. I have heard from several friends who
tried this fish and wiped out. Maybe we do not give Fp. species the care
they deserve as many of them are so forgiving. Or maybe Amieti are just more
tricky than some others.

They are certainly colorful enough to be more popular than they are. By the
way I do not recall seeing them at the AKA Convention. I guess that some
people just do not think that they are worth the bother.  Or maybe they are
just not the flavor of the month.

Best regards,


-RJ-

Why, aren't they colourful enough? Not worth the effort? Can't face
them again?

No. I'm a student.:-) (no experiments going on right now...)
