We recently recieved a shipment of breeder size L-059 that I decided to keep for myself. I housed all 12 fish in a 40 gallon for 2 months and then set them up in trios between 4 seprate 20 gallon longs. I didnt spend anytime trying to spawn them yet. I just placed them in the tanks and threw a few of ZCLIFF'S caves in their, some tile and driftwood and one tank spawned with in 2 days. It was so unexpected! I seen the one 6" male inside the cave during feeding and noticed he kicked 4-5 eggs out while fanning them. I then took off the lid to the cave and collected the eggs. After they all hatched their were 114 fry. I will keep everyone up to date as they progress.


Pic # 1 is one male in the cave and one female under the tile.

Pic # 2 is 114 3 day old fry.

More pics as the grow. They should turn out to be real nice blk and white spotted bushynose.

Congrats!
Just curious ... are you using regular tap water? Ft. Myers has an RO plant?
