Gymnogeophagus

[Kizno1]

They easily breed in tanks or outside, and do so at quite a small size. Warmth seems to trigger spawning. I have had a half dozen 1.5 " juvies in a 20 gal tank without a heater since fall season set in and they are fine. They don't seem to be jumpers, keeping close to the substrate most of the time. And although they are not aggressive, they handle themselves well with much larger fish of different color and body shape. I do not keep them with others of the gymnogenys group.

Cheers. Hopefully ill be able to get them to breed then. I doubt ill get them until spring to get them so its warmed up a little then they should have a year to grow and mature and hopefully breed next spring.
If i keep the temp about 15C i might give a group Hoplo catfish or Pepper corys a go in with them.
