Etheostoma caeruleum

[Hoyo12]

Has anyone had any breeding experience with this species of Darter? I was hoping to give it a try, and guess was looking to see if anyone had any success before.

"The Etheostoma caeruleum spawns in clean rocky riffles March through June". The experts at Nanfa and Btdarters on the web will have more info.; Btdarters has sold those before and some of the members at Nanfa keep them.

Thanks for the tip. Read a little more on NANFA. Still don't have a clear idea on the tank setup, other than gravel and a powerhead...
Any tips? Tank would be about 68 degrees F, and a 20-Gallon.

Thanks! Now I have an idea of the setup.
Has anyone tried to breed Darters before?

Thats the Rainbow Darter, Brian at BT Darters has been successful with those im sure, he is a great guy, and im sure would offer some suggestions. Given the proper conditions, im sure you would have no problems breeding these, he also has a high color variety you may want to check out.
