Anyone ever bred blacks?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
stingrays = possible


arowans = not.....

wether it be black, white, asian, green, orange, red, silver. aros breeding in captive is just harder then any other species. why is that you ask? because if you even get a pair to pair up, they usually go on a long mission of miles n miles (which is why ponds are required to even attempt) n get away from everyone else to try to breed so they feel safer. in an aquarium. there isn't miles n miles of swimming available.

stingrays will breed in a bucket. they jus need to hump n thats it.
 
agree with hightimez, probably isn't a walk in the park, but i'm sure it's been done.
 
Not that i want to hijack this thread but i'm interested in getting a pair of blacks at about 5", are they actually compatible as they grow up even if they don't breed?

It is a very small chance that they will get along if they are in a small group.

Not quite true. They have been bred in captivity. Your statement about them going miles and miles for seclusion is off-set by the fact they are bred in ponds. Arowana that pair can be kept in a single aquarium which will give them the privacy they may seek.

That was actually the guy I am thinking of in particular.
 
There have been numerous pairings in seperate tanks, particularly asians.
I think blacks do best in large groups or singly
