I don’t have a heater there, so the temperature is around 20-22.There’s more than enough moss in there and I’ve seen them actually doing it. The male almost embraced the female while performing his dance, all this while they where in the moss, not out in the open. I tried to stay away from the tank as much as possible. Do you think I should add small drops of green water in there every day, or every two days? Just in case there’s fry in there I can’t see. I have bought spiruline(the adults also like it a lot). I fed them frozen blood worms while they where in there, dried tubifex and some sort of flakes mixture.
Anyway, I will wait one more week and maybe I’m lucky enough to see at least a couple fry.
Thank you once again.
Today I removed the 3 adult CPDs from the breeding tank(they where in there for 5-6 days). Fingers crossed now! I’m going to wait another 3-4 days, or should I wait longer? Usually how much does it take them to reveal themselves? I know it’s kinda of a noob question, but oh my this waiting is killing me. I was never so excited about breeding other fish I had. I know I should think positive, but right now, all I’m thinking about is that there must be something I did wrong and I’m never going to see their little eyes in there. Please say something to calm me down, if that’s even possible.
I sold all my other fish and I really loved those fish, just so that I can keep more CPDs.
PS: if you think I’m crazy, I won’t blame you, my family already told me I am. :oops:
Another quick question:
I am planning to buy some Otocinclus spp. and keep them in my 200 l tank with my CPDs. Can they be a threat and eat the CPD eggs? As far as I know they are algae eaters.
:Ok, many thanks for your help. I will let you know if I make any kind of progress with their breeding. I will remove the adult fish from the tank tomorrow. I can’t wait
Oh well, I’ll just stick with my CPDs for now. As I said in my first post, I plan to change my 200 l tank into a CPDs setup and mayby add just another cyprinidae specie like boraras merah. I have also put 3 CPDs, one male and two females in a small tank(12 l), filled with stingy moss, monosolenium(sp?) and christmas moss. They behave naturally and the male is chasing the two females all over the tank. I also have some riccia, one of the female seems to prefer it, the other one just sticks with the other moss types. Anyway, it’s been a day since they’re in the tank and I plan to leave them here 4-5 more days, but I’m quite worried, because these little fish are quite fast and when I’ll try to catch them, I might “damage the eggs”. From your experience is there an easy way to catch them, or I’ll have to do it the hard way?
Thanks in advance!
Hello once again!
If I keep my CPDs in the same tank with Danio erythromicron, is it possible they cross-breed?
Thank you!
It’s a lovely fish. Now you gave me something else to do. I have to find at least one pair.
I know, that’s why I joined this place. You guys really care for these little fish like I do. Thanks for the welcome.
If you don’t mind me asking, what fish is that from your avatar? It looks a lot like galaxy, but it has different colors…
