Mine have just produced free-swimming fry and their tank is at 23-25 (depending on time of day).

congratulations ! i’m sooooo jealous!!! how did you do it? not a single fry here in my tank!

I’ve got 2 fry at the moment that I can see. (I saw only one yesterday, and the second appeared this morning).

I’ve left the parents in as an experiment to see what happens to them. The parents almost never swim more than a cm or two above the surface, even when I put flake food in that floats on the surface (they wait until it sinks before they go for it). The fry never seem to go more than a few cm FROM the surface, so they kind of are well-separated already based on where they seem to prefer to swim. I also have a few floating plants that I put in to provide them with a place to hide but they actually don’t seem to care about having it, and don’t spend much time near it.

We’ll see if they survive and I’ll report back as they develop.

My parameters:

Temp 23-25
pH 7.6 – 7.7
Ammonia/Nitrites 0
Nitrates 25-50 (the local tap water is VERY high in Nitrates)
KH 6
GH >16

Hi everyone, I’m from Bulgaria and unfortunately we’re still waiting for import of these wonderful looking fish. I thought to order few from e-bay, but I’m not sure what will I actually receive, so I’m keep waiting while other people like you already have fry. That’s why I’ll be happy to find out more about these great fish.

Best wishes
