At what temperature do you keep you Bichir / Ropefish Tank?
And while we are at it, what water chemistry do you maintain?

some thing between 20 to 27 degrees.

82-86f, ph is 7.2-7.5 when they are ready to breed i will be lowering ph to 6-6.5

And 28 – 30ºC (82 – 86º[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]F) for breeding as well?

thats correct

 

[gahardy]

ok increasing temp, been keeping at 26ºC (79º[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]F), to [/FONT]29ºC (84º[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]F). Maybe this will help my troubles with their slow eating. [/FONT]

22-24 degrees with the help of a hang-on fan. Trying to keep my moss (tied to driftwood) alive. Experimenting on plant hormones now.

80-82F, PH 6.8-7.0

I think those temps are wrong for breeding polys. Mostly everything i have read says lower temps for them to spawn. During the rainy season and it usually cooler during the rainy season

keep temps hot then do large water changes to lower temps and simulate rain
