Re: [Killietalk] My Golden Wonders have me in fits!!!!!!!!!!

Yah, Gary. KeeHoe = Markc. I bought some from local fish shop and play 
with them a while before i return them all to the shop as i run out of 
tank space.

Now i am breeding ZII, which is similar to LIN in many aspect but more 
colourful. I can't say it is more beautiful as the bright golden colour 
of LIN makes it outstanding compare to other fishes.

I do agree that no matter what food you feed them, they will still 
produce eggs. The difference is quantity and quality.
Whenever i feed them life tubiflex (once or twice a day) I get lots of 
good quality eggs. 10-20 perday (after the fish intentionally burst a 
few of them.). I guess i should try use bigger mop or put another one 
next to the original.

Yes,  it is very difficult to pick eggs off  java moss. I gave up on the 
attempt and put all the java moss (together with eggs maybe)
into my lampeyes tank and shrimp tank. Yesterday i found a Apy. fry in 
my lampeyes tank. It can only be either EXO or CYA. So i am not worry 
about mixing them up, i only have to look into its eyes to identify 
them. The size is bigger than the mouth of the lampeyes. So it should be 
quite save to let it continue hiding in the thick java mosses.

The tanks had old mops from other  killies throw in, they had sunk, and I would find a fair amount (15 or  so) of eggs in the mops each day.  I am not a large-scale breeder,  and I didn't raise any of these guys up, since I planned on moving the  parents outside, where they'd be more productive (but fish can't be  productive if they jump out and die...).  Anyway, I did get enough  eggs to sell some off (did those EVER get to you, KeeHoe aka  Markc?).  Thus, I conclude that it can be done indoors with  sinking mops in community tanks where everybody gets flake food.   Just goes to show that this fish will breed just about anytime,  anywhere...
