Well I really broke the bank on this one. I just picked up another colony of 6 WC frontosa Mobas when I went up to LA yesterday. 1 male and 5 females all of which will be added to the other colony I bought 3 weeks ago, all are proven breeders. While I was picking these guys up he stripped two of the females which was holding for a couple of days and he had already been tumbling 3 batches of eggs from the different females. The male is a beast at 14"+ I believe no trailers as he was the beta and was picked on, he is bigger than the male I have in there with them which is 12". I am now a new proud owner of a total of 12 WC mobas in my 135 gallon with a ratio of 2 males and 10 females. I also changed the lights to Current USA LED plus lighting which is remote controlled and lighting can be altered, changed to a natural looking PFS (tan off white color w/ black peppering), and I did not install the 3D background, too much hassle to be honest. I really hope I get to keep these guys when I start college. I know I do have 2 months to enjoy them keeping my fingers cross in March when I will hear back from my colleges.
Questions:
Am I covered on filtration? Currently running 2 Fluval FX5 on this 135g. Thinking of adding 2 HOB emperor 400 for chemical filtration. 25% water change every week.
Should I be feeding more of an amount everytime I feed them (3x every other day) or just feed more frequently but the same amount?
How can I make this new male the alpha? How long should I seperate the previous male Moba and this new one? Should I just let them sort it out?
I think one of the females is already holding a small clutch of eggs should I strip her in 5 days to check?
The alpha male has only a little bit of a whiite spot on his left eye, Should I up the aqaurium salt dosage to get rid of that thing?
Tried my best on the pics. Yes my 135g and frontosa is directly infront of my bed
I will post a vid here pretty soon. INPUT IS APPRECIATED
