    Hello Everyone,
    I purchased 14 CPDs from aquabid back in December 2007. When I first rec’d them they were small and pretty thin. I kept them in a 20 gallon high aquarium with half of the bottom tank filtered by an undergravel filter. There is about 1 1/2 inches of gravel on that half of the tank and the tank has one clump of java moss. I was feeding the fish flake food and micro worms. I have 5 young longfin cory cats also in the tank along with 4 young longfin albino ancistrus plecos. The CPDs were doing great and I would notice a couple of fry now and then. So one day I caught all of the adults and moved them to another tank. In 5 days I had 25 fry in the orginal tank. I caught those fry and moved them after one week and put the adults back into the orginal tank. I left the adults there for one week and again caught them and moved them to another tank. Sure enough 30 fry in about 5 days. I have repeated this 4 times and now have about 80 fry. Most of the fry have survived and they are doing great.

    Good to hear! Glad you are having success breeding them. Soon you’ll be able to sell them too and help bolster the overall population.
