[CichlidDan]

Trying to startup my ember tetras, peacock gudgeons, and apisto agazzizi fired red.

Just got some Panda guppies today so they’ll probably breed like crazy.

 

[IndianaSam]

Right now I’ve got fry from:

Celestial Pearl Danios
Apistogramma cacatuoides
Apistogramma allpohuayo (wild)
Corydoras aeneus
A million or so cherry shrimp

 

[Mikescichlids]

2 batches of yellow labs
2batches of maingano
2 batches of acei
About 100 bristlenose albino and regular

 

[Becca]

Currently raising fry from -

P. scalare "Peruvian Altum"
Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis
Hyphessobrycon wadai
C. sterbai
CW010
L174

Also working with, (some in rotation) -
L183
C. pantanalensis
Gnathochromis permaxillaris
Cleithracara maroni
B. fasciolatus (fire barb)
Moenkhausia costae
Hyphessobrycon piorski
Hyphessobrycon sp. "Super red line"
Hyphessobrycon saizi
Hemigrammus pulcher


I have a dozen or so varieties of shrimp, including some wild-type Caridina that I'm working with, plus a rainbow of neos.

 

[halak]

I have fry from:

Panda guppies (can sell fry/adults)
Xenophallus umbratilis (can sell fry and an adult pair)
Phallichthys tico
Limia tridens
Xiphophorus pygmaeus (can sell some adults)
Oryzias latipes (medaka rice fish, platinum and orange)
Fundulopanchax gardneri
Cherry shrimp


In a couple of months or sooner, I am planning on breeding (again):

Tanichthys micagemmae
Aphyosemion calliurum
Micropoecilia picta

Glad to see you had success in getting the wadai going, did you have to do anything special for them?
Also how are the h.pyrrhonotus going? 😄


Pretty standard convicts laying eggs

Siquia pair about to lay eggs

Australe killis spawning biweekly as usual

Nanolutea in breeding dress guarding eggs

Not too much action from the elassoma but I have seen my male do mating dances.

Myrnae in breeding dress as well

Nothing special with the wadai unless you want a big haul of eggs - as with any tetra, setting them up over mesh can really help preserve eggs. My largest spawn of them so far was when I had them in QT (go figure).

The pyrrhonotus have been set up a couple of times with no results. I haven't had as much time or space as I'd like to play with tetras for a variety of reasons. Pretty much every time I empty a tank to use for spawning, somebody comes home with more fish that need QT (p.s., it's usually not me).

I’m curious, what’s you general setup for spawning tetra? I’ve spawned neon tetra with in a tank with a peat substrate and DI water and had okay results, but I’d like to hear/read what you do.

Just picked up breeding pair of l471 snowball pleco. Anyone have experience with breeding

I use mesh sort of arched over the bottom of a bare bottom tank. That way I can see eggs. I start with tap but do changes with RO. The eggs of neons, cardinals, and others in that genus have a period of photosensitivity. I usually have my biggest issues a few weeks post hatch, when I can't keep up with feeding and cleaning a tank with a few hundred bitty tetras. I've used stainless steel mesh and plastic canvas. The former can slice up hands and fish, the latter doesn't sink so takes a bit of work to get in place.

 

[Acara19]

As of today I officially have
Aphyosemion australe "gold" (eggs)
Amatitlania cf. nigrofasciata (fry)
Amatitlania myrnae "rio lari" (F2 fry)
Amatitlania sp. Honduran red point "rio danli" eggs
Amatitlania nanolutea (fry)
