Black calvus


Bradc

Recommended Posts

Hey all ive got 2 calvus ive had for about a year and a half to 2 years now.  Now they are around the 6cm maybe 7cm mark now and im fairly confident they are a male and female. Im chasing some info on trying to breed these guys. 

Ive got a spare 45L tank would this be to small for them? Should i get another female are they better in a harem? How do people set up their tanks and what structures do people use for breeding? Shells or some form of caves?

do you have any pics of the fish? if both the same size unlikely a pair

females are usually about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of the males

high protein food in pellet form, chopped prawn (not green prawns unless you caught them)

live or frozen brine shrimp or freshwater shrimp

it's the dimension of the tank not the capacity that is important IMO

min size I would house a pair of young fish 5-7cm is standard 2ft tank 60lt ?

if they are a pair it can be hard to add single fish and the tank would need to be larger

female sets the spawn site can be shell , cave, rock crevice, PVC pipe elbows whatever she likes so multiple sites recommended
