Just spawned ctenolucius hujeta by accident.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
check out hikari first bites. i cant recall if it was from petsmart or petco. not sure if your hujetas will readily eat them, but this always worked for newborns for me. kinda like powdered food lol
 
So I killed off most of them, but I have a few left feeding on live food from my crystal shrimp tanks:) i will get more video as they grow

Has anyone else spawned these guys with success in raising the fry?? I'm trying and so far so good but I only have about 10 left
 
Well still alive and kicking, I have around 8 maybe left in this tank. I only added maybe 20 to begin with. I thought keeping them in the water of there spawned would be better but the water change just took them out:(
There not growing really fast at all, i'm adding some frozen cyclops in the tank but I cant tell if they are eating it yet.

There getting bigger finally, only saw 4 left today, I think they started to eat each other??? The big ones are now fat and happy:)
I will try to get pics since they are a bit bigger now, also a new video
 
Wow, Never heard of them spawning in captivity, Come to think of it I've never heard of anyone even trying to breed them. I wonder what caused them to breed...

Not sure really, I do add Indian Almond leaves to all my tanks. Wonder if it had something to do with it. Mt female is getting really fat again to. I'm pretty sure they are planning to do it again in the future.

Maybe the Almond leaves did the trick. Keep us updated though, Hopefully they'll breed again.
