Summary of a study on breeding microlepis
- Thread starter Africantigerfish
- Start date
I haven't looked at any of the links within yet but that also seems like very little info to go off of with no visual proof of the results.
what mean IDK?
we cant see all the study because we have to pay or having access via a university or something like that. its on a data base. You mean its a false study??? its not a proof that someone is selling dats breed in captivity, its just say that it is possible.

Whats fishy to me is how they knew m to f ratio, i thought there was only one way of sexing and thats postmortum
also thai fisheriea have been trying to save the pulcher population for awhile now with no success and even posted the species as extinct in one pamphlet i saw

Yeah,interesting read and the main item that jumped out at me is the mention of sex ratio of male an female fish...So someone has come up with a way to differentiate between the two,wonder how that is done?
Interesting read. I can't say wether it is 100% authentic or not but lets say it is.... Funny how nothing further has been published in this gazette for 17 years to this date...
Maybe all the fish died soon after.
I'm always dubious when there are no pictures.
On the other hand, it is a university study and report so there must be some authenticity in this script, just wierd how nothing else been published.

Considering the results it really doesn't surprise me that we haven't heard much else about natural breeding for dats. Even using 5 cement ponds with 6-11 fish each, after 8 months the only results are 230 baby fish that survived. Considering that this is an egg laying species those are very poor results. When you think about the costs of maintaining those sorts of setups long term, and compare it to the relative ease of catching wild fish. Think about all the mini tigers that showed up a couple months ago and the numbers they showed up in. What is the incentive for trying to captive breed indos.
