[Angelphish]

Species: Marble Angelfish

How many: 2

How long trying: 1 month

Any successful spawns already: 1 fry survived

Set up: 20 gallon with multiple breeding surfaces.

Extra information: Having the male Angelfish tested for ADD. He would rather beg for food than fertilize eggs. All of the eggs were eaten on the only batch that he did fertilize.

This summer the cichlids have been quite prolific, I end up pouring about 2 or 3 gallons of green water with daphnia, just to keep up.
4th spawn in as many months from a semi-blind pair of nicaraguense

2nd spawn from HRPs

1st spawn from panamense, eggs just below the lip of the flower pot

1st spawn for Cryptoheros myrnae

had half dozen from these multispinossa but as yet, no fry

pulled a bunch of Cichlasoma dimerus from the pond the other day


and finally there is a 2nd spawn from Ptychochromis sp "tarantsy"

So nice to see you're breeding fishes from Costa Rica, I personally know the lady after which C. myrnae got their name from. Hope you succeed in your projects!

Saludos vecino!

Cheers,

[kanoon]

Species: dwarf flowerhorn cichlid

How many: 2

How long trying: 1 week

Any successful spawns already: 7 fry survived

Set up: 20 gallon

Extra information: the fry won't grow. They look like tadpoles.

Their parent are as big as normal flowerhorn (father 's around 8" and mother's around 6"). They gave normal baby fry a couple times. On the third time they gave some dwarf looking fry. Their appearance look like normal flowerhorn but the size. They are not like bonzai or shortbody. Some look like kirin, but they are not strong.

I'll post the pics as soon as I get permission.

There're more of my breeding projects that i'm on. I'll post them soon with some pics.
