What's everyone breeding right now?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Wild Tropheus Red Rainbow - 13
F1 Tropheus Bulu Point - 19
Wild Tropheus Duboisi Maswa - 35
Wild Altolamprologus Compressiceps Kagunga - trio
Wild Gnathochromis Permaxillaris - two pairs

The Duboisi produce the most, the Bulu's have been tough as they have small batches of eggs and don't really show, the Rainbows I've only gotten a few fry but hope they'll get in gear.

The altos and the Gnathos I just got in, just trying to keep everyone alive through this California heatwave.

You have the paquita sajica right? Do you want 2-3 more males by any chance?

Mine are CB from Dave's Rare Aquarium Fish.. Thanks, but I'm not looking for any more at the moment.. have a nice group of 5 that are getting along well in my 240 community..
 
Two different projects ongoing.

Currently trying to linebreed some Rheoheros lentiginosus.

Also currently trying to cross an Amatitlania nigrofasciata and an Amatitlania nanoluteus.
Please do not hybridize nanolutea, pure bloodlines are hard enough to come by and the species itself is vulnerable in the wild. Intentionally hybridizing them does nothing good, even if it is staying within your tanks.

Certainly would have been something good to know prior to this attempt of mine.

Unfortunately there is no way this individual is going anywhere, and I am not going to find a nanolutea mate for it, so nothing can be done about this now except continue with the hybridization.

Tangled up in cichlids has nanolutea at the moment, I believe. You can always divide the tank or something in the meantime to mitigate the risk of spawning, if you don't have the space to separate altogether.
 
Checking in, what's everyone breeding now? I don't exactly have much going on at the moment.

I currently have fry from:

Amatitlania septemfasciata "rio limoncito" F3
Cryptoheros spilurus "rio sarstun"
Amatitlania siquia "lago nicaragua"
Amatitlania nigrofasciata "rio los almendros"
Xiphophorus cf. maculatus "weird tiny half inch strain I made in a 10 gallon"

Currently trying to breed:

Amatitlania nigrofasciata "rio bagaces" (F3 female to F1 male)
Cichlasoma dimerus "paso de la cruz"
Limia tridens

Might try to breed:

Betta channoides
Hyphessobrycon anisitsi
Trichopodus trichopterus "lavender" x wc indonesian male
Lepomis cf. megalotis "potomac"

Not necessarily breeding anything to sell right now. Mainly breeding to make more for myself.
 
My small tank:
Pink Convicts
Electric Blue Acaras
Blue Parrot

My big tank:
Flowerhorns (Silk Thai (M)/SRD (F) but more than likely will be not successful due to all the other fish in the tank
