Luke Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Well done merjo any hints on breeding these guys ? I have been looking for them down here in Melb without any success Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 Hi Luke, To be honest, they are still in the holding tank that they were put into when they arrived from Sydney. I put the four tinanti and 4 nasuta into a 4 x 18 x 14 tank to quarantine them.....they never got moved out The nasuta are awaiting the 6 x 2 x 2 and the tinanti were going to go into a 3 x 2 x 2...hasn't happened yet Therefore the tank that they spawned in has a pH of about 8.4, seriously decked out with limestone and crushed coral substrate. Therefore I was very surprised to see them. There are about 40 at a guess merjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McCormick Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Hi Merjo, Congrats on the tinanti. You are a legend, I have known people here in Melbourne that had the touch that you obviously also have, that is the ability to spawn whatever fish you have in your possession. By the way tinanti are supposed to be very particular about their water conditions and hard alkaline is just not on. Next you will be telling us that the nasuta are spawning as well Well done. John.
