Thanks Monica! Yours is the best set-up I’ve used to date.

very very nice! Did you do the surface feeding and if so what did you use? When did you remove the adults?

Hey Tom, I just started surface feeding this past week using Golden Pearls Rotifer Size 5-50 Microns from Kens Fish…

They get micro or walter worms 3 times a day with the golden pearls twice in between.
The adults were in the set-up for just a week – 4 females / 2 males.
Dennis
nice one. Not sure i’m confusing myself, I was meaning did you surface feed the adults before you removed them?…or did you just give them some time and then removed them?
I see… I gave them mosquito larva and golden pearls to eat twice a day. They were in the set-up for 7 days before I removed them, so I had to feed them.

Dennis – can you direct me to the thread describing the setup that you link to in your original post?
Whenever I click on the link to it I get Error:500

Hi Monica….WELCOME!!
Your English is great!!!….do you have a run down on your set up (s)? Sounds like you are breeding quite a few? Any tips you can offer us?
Hi Tom, thank you for te welkom
!A run down on my set up, i don’t now…what is a run down?? (now you see how bad my englisch is :oops: )
I’m breeding a lot off these fish, somtimes i’ve got > 500(several spawns), somtimes les.
On my attick i have 12 tanks in different sises, not nice to look at, but functional.
I always take 5 well fed fish, 2 female’s and 3 males (the alfa’s), and i put them in a tank with java moos , and very much plants.
The waterlevel is only 25/30 cm, no filter, only a airstone (is that the right word?)
In the time they are in the breeding tank, i feed them with live food like brine shrimp, and red muscito larve (the black one’s stay to high by the waterlevel, and so do the white one’s to).
That on a dayly base.
These fish aet mostely from the bottom off the tank while spawning.
Feeding them while spawning prefent them from aeting most of the eggs and fry.
The fry that make it to the watersurvase wil therefore survive :wink:After 5 til 7 days i take my 5 fish out the tank and than i wait.
My newest experiment is breeding in a bucket…that also works fine, and is a nice low budget solution :lol:The biggest spawn i had was over 180 fry from 5 fish in 5 days….yes i’m addicted :roll: :lol:
Here a few pics, sorry for the bad quality, its a simple camera, and i’m not so good in making pictures :lol:
This is a 80 cm tank and in these tank are 240, 8 and 10 week old fry on the picture aeting brine shrimp.
An ugly photo, but these where the 180+ fry, from 1 single spawn.
