RE: [Killietalk] N. rachovii

["Mark Pearlscott" <mark at pearlscott_com>]

Nick,

A lot of people report N. rachovii as being a hard fish to keep.  This
hasn't been my experience.  The most difficult part is getting the fish
up to sub-adult size, and that is easily accomplished by having the
right sized live foods, such as microworms, infusoria, vinegar eels,
etc.  Once they are on larger foods, I haven't had a problem.

Are people having other troubles with them?

So I'm sorry I haven't answered your question directly, but I would say
that other difficulties that might apply would be egg production of a
particular collection.  In this respect, any strain that has been in the
hobby for a while would be a good choice, as it most likely is a decent
egg producer.

Cheers,

Mark
