Bitaeniata Spawn :D

[kristina]

Woo Hoo, yesterday my bitaeniata "blue" female was out with fry in the tank. From what I can see there are about 30 or so of them and doing great.

pH - below 6 (been meaning to pick up a low range pH test kit for some time now...)
KH - 1dKH (or) 17.9ppm
GH - 3dGH (or) 53.7ppm
temp - 25-26

using tap water aged in a plastic barrel. Nothing but dechlorinator added. spawned in a planted AR510 approx. 75-80L. Aquasoil used. cave was a halved coconut shell. I don't think I have any further info that's really useful...

Pic was the best I could get with my phone. I SERIOUSLY have to get a REAL camera... but at least you can see the mum and fry huddled in the bottom corner of the tank behind the sponge filter.

well it never rains it pours heh heh heh

Well done Kristina :-) more cause for celebration that the OF but thats only my opinion. And you beat me to it ya' rascal - I ain't bred mine yet but... seeing how the males & females are segregated this is to be expected heh heh heh.

try taking some water from the bitaeniata tank and pouring this into your trifasciata tank - juts might spur your male on.

hmm, I have never had sucess posting a MW culture but I might have to give it another for for Steph & yourself


take care
