My CPD’s generally stop spawning when the temperature gets too warm in the summer. I have heard from others that they have found this NOT to be the case with their stock.
What’s the general consensus, do your CPD’s stop spawning when the temperatures rise?

Hi Dennis,
I’m Béla from Hungary and just started to breed CPD’s 6 months ago. They aquarium bred, grown up in the same aquarium where I still keep them. Got them when they were about 2 months old.
I put 2-3 males and 4-5 females in a 10 liter breeding tank (lots of moss and some other floating plants) and they still breeding. The water is continuously between 26-29 degrees since the heat wave came in ( theres 34-36 C degrees outside for like 2 weeks now).
Aquarium setup: 45liters, eheim 2008 filter, t8 18w lightning, lots of plants and 10 neons, 8 CPD’s. (the neons going away next week as I need room for the young (2months old) cpd’s, around 20 of them.
The last batch of fry became freeswimming just yesterday, they stay in the breeder until they 15mm size.
I feed the adults with artemia, and different lio food twice every day.
I do water changes weekly 30%.Oh and during the hot nights the aircon is on all night, so water temp goes down to about 25 C degrees by the morning, maybe that triggers spawning.
Regards,
Béla
