Epiplatys togolensis
Worked out well. I used the Marina Hang-On Breeding Box w/ an airstone, until they hatched. Then I pulled the stone and hooked up the air as its meant to be used, w/ the addition of a piece of sponge to block the overflow. Didn't do too bad, 22 of the 30 that I had pulled, hatched. Probably twice as many hiding in the tank...

That WAS the sequel,the male looked like he was having a lil trouble picking up the eggs in that lil bit of gravel. i couldn't figure out how to combine the two on youtube. Heres the prequel
http://youtu.be/l7bCI1o62-E?list=UUe...YQubeVZiS6fkOg Today i removed the male to a five gal. by himself.In the spawning tank the one pleco and some of the other bettas seemed very interested in the spot where this male was hanging out. Weird, not many here breed fish? You,me.. the person who started this thread[ reminds me of Don Knotts?]

Safer to move him. I only had a pair; when she was ready to spawn again, she'd pester him, and they'd spawn again. Still not sure if he would always drop/eat the eggs to spawn again, or if he'd spawn again and have two spawns in his mouth. Probably both options depending on how much room he had in his mouth. The last spawning session, I pulled the female, left him alone in the tank. He released fry, and a week later I was seeing much smaller fry in the tank, so I'm sure he had two spawns...
There are a few breeders that I'm aware of , maybe like me they hate to type, or maybe it's secret stuff, That's it - secret stuff. Oh, by the way...nice gravel . Your time in the hobby is showing |

Wow,he has skills with his mouth! I thought they either ate them or they didn't. That gravel is my 50 year blend,its secret stuff. It is hard on the eyes, maybe that male spawned just to get outta dere!
How are you doing with those corydorus snufflelufigus?

They're doing well, all have nice fat bellies. Lost 7 during the first few days of feeding, no losses since. The adults kinda look like c. aeneus but w/ a longer snout, very active/prolific (they're keeping my cichlids well supplied w/ eggs) I'll save some fry for you.

I could feed my whole fishroom with your "excess" lol. Stock online photos of your C stenocephalus shows "color" in the tails,yet i don't see it in your photo of the adults.

Trust me there isn't a shrimp left. The stenos are like chameleons when the picture taking starts. In some they're dark, others washed out, colored tails, no color in tails. In some they shine like gold tetras, others they're covered in a sooty grey. I'm going to take pictures till they look like zebra plecos and then sell them on aquabid

Allow me a first bid of 39 cents, no? But they must be black with white stripes, i don't like white with black stripes! It would have to be named by you [corydorus Elqueiaiaidae] .Really,that would be a nice fish.

Krobia sp Xingu Orange guinansis****
My Krobia spawned I had seen a few fry last week but they were lost... But today I saw that they had spawned again. Not the best pic, but there are a few hundred eggs in the lower left quadrant of the flower pot.

Congratulations! I can see the many eggs pretty good in that photo. What is your game plan for raising the fry?

I’ll try to remove some once they’ve hatched, and put them in the Marina box. If the clay pot wasn’t so big, I would have put it into the Marina w/ an airstone. Then the usual, micrworms and baby brine. The eggs look good; the female is w/ them, she’ll come out for seconds and then go back; once in a while the male will check on them. Meanwhile, on the other side of the eggcrate there’s another pair going through the motions….

Your Krobia are beautiful; I've always liked Acara-type cichlids. How large are the adults?
