When the power went out a few years back, temps dipped into the 70s and the female died.
I traded the male soon after for a trio of adult beani. Funny, an adult mated pair of haits went for $10 at an auction here last month, a bag of juvies went for even less if I remember right.
I toyed with trying them out again, but decided the time wasn't right. When mine were spawning I gave away hundreds. But because of their sensitivity, I hear many didn't make it. All things must be perfect, or it's a downward slope.

I do have a second batch of eggs from my pair. They should hatch and become free swimming before I ship the pair. I'll get some pics up here in the next couple of days. Imo if your looking for great quality haits, I would order from cichlid connection when they have them in. And reguardless of how everyone keeps them, just remember to add as much oxygen as possible to the tank; ie air stone, power head etc. Good luck with your new haits
