Re: A. avichang

["Henri Debruyn" <debruynhenri at hotmail_com>]

the incubation time is 2 to 4 month depending on the temperature.Eggs are 
laid in a mop but preferably in peat fiber on the botom of the tank
The adults prefer soft and slightly acid water and a temperature of 20 to 25 
degrees centigrade
They need a lot of hiding material (java fern, java moss)some can ge 
agressive .I had breeding success but lost some fish to fighting ,males 
killing females and other males. For hatching eggs peat mulch in the 
hatching water is almost a requirment .Incubation can be in water or in wet 
peat.
The fish are named Fundulopanchax Avichang nguba II GEML 00/16 and collected 
by F Malumbres (SEC)in Equatorial Guinea
