Orange Head Tapajos growth thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
what's your temp at & wc schedule? you should've had spawns by now, they look plenty mature & healthy. wonder if you ended up with an all male group. I finally accepted that there's only 1 female in my group. she started out spawning with one male & after many, many eaten attempts she kicked him out hard & switched to another male. the original male, I call "the Stalker Ex" because he kept fighting to get back in on everything. but when she booted him, it was eternally Over.
;-)
once she started spawning, she kept on like clockwork. sometimes only 2 weeks apart. the very longest pause, maybe a month.
haha. my temp is 84 and i do 40 gallon water changes which is like 33% or something like that once a week. i still believe i have 2 males and 2 females because there are two that are much more red and have longer fins and bigger than the other two. i think the females might not be mature yet because there not that big. but im not sure
 
temp 84 is plenty warm enough.
I couldn't determine sex by anything except their vents.
My males tiny points are visible while swimming around, starting the day after a bigger wc, for about 3 days or so. even on the plainest runt.

good luck. gotta love the Rapps line, they're very nice whether breeding or not.

They sure are one of my favorite geophagus.
