Breeding Geo's

[Ben]

What type of Geo are you breeding at the moment?

[RJ_Archer]

i breed surinamensis. There easy to breed and i get about $5ea 4-5cm and i get 70-80+ each fry lot. My male is 28-30cm :shock: and the girl is only 18-20cm. i have 200+ atm 2-8mm in a grow out tank...they are growing 1mm every 2days ATM....Hope this helps

Anyone know if there is any truth to dropping temps to 15C for 3 months for gymno's?

[Proteus]

Give any Geo a waterchange using cold water and it is almost a certainty that you will have spawning soon after

[Ben]

i think 15.c is a bit too cold, but a period of time at 22.c would be ok.

anyone have any idea on what dicrozoster babies are worth or even as i have 2 pairs what there worth but have another 4 i am thinking of selling any ideas there around 12cm as i might sell them all yet i am unsure.

Tryed that I still must be doing something wrong :cry:

[ozarowana]

Matt,

Going by your previous pics and the fact you can count eggs, am I right that your aripuana II are delayed mouth brooders?

I have a feeling the aripuana II in australia may be G. sp. "rio branco"

[discus lover01]

I am breeding
3 x Dicrozosters 40 fry 4-5cm ready now
Surinmenas /red Horseface 150+ fry
3 x green horseface/jururpari 50+ mouthfull
more pairs coming
1xSinous eggs in mouth or eaten un-sure?

Hi Everyone

I am breeding Satanoperca Leucosticta.

I am also trying a pair of Balaniis and I have 2 Geo abalios which I am not even sure of the sex.

Cheers
