les Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Ok so these guys had gone off lay for a while I think it was light exposure that was the problem as they are back on track and that is the only thing that has changed. I have given some fry to a friend of mine and have kept a few to increase my own production. They truly are a sweet gentle fish. cheers les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I am putting the mops back in with the striattum tomorow. The reason being since they have been in the new fishroom I put in a heep of brried shrimp and the striattum have been very active with lots of males displaying to get the girls attentions Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks Razzi They are the therd gen on from the ones I first bought. I have grown each lot out in large numbers and ten selected the best coloured ones and also the biggest, I think also that having a dark gravel underneth makes them feel safe and so they will be more at ease. Live food as we all know helps as well. Tell me when you want some eggs and I will send them over. cheers les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Getting eggs from these guys now but I am looking for some new blood to add in as this will be 5 or 6 gen and I am noticing that I am not getting as many eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Do you let them spawn continuously? Or do you separate them and put them together periodically? With gardneri I used to separate and got more eggs when I put them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
