anchar Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I have three pairs of S. tinanti - all currently have fry. This tank is divided into 3 and there is a pair in each. The middle section has the largest fry atm. so I tried to capture them in these pictures (rather unsuccessfully)... Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EASTY Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Well done At was size and age are the parents.I lost mine when I moved now i've got another 3 growing up at about 5 to 6cm a very underated fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 Gidday easty...the males are approx. 8cm and females approx. 5cm the first time they spawned. The male in the furtherest tank on the right is the son of the one in the middle tank. I think they are a nice little fish and the colours are quite variable and mood dependent....tan, browns through to different greys. Now that the three pairs have their own cubicle, the fry reach a decent size. When they were all in together, the fry only lasted a few days. I am currently testing the theory that they can be step breeders...I'll let you know what I find out. Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EASTY Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Thanks keep me posted it would be good to find out if step breeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novafishy Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Nice! Andrea, are the tanks individually filtered and heated? I've got a 3ft divided into thirds and I'm just curious as to what you did. Are the tinanti agressive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hi Wes...they are individually filtered (air driven) using three corner triangle sponge filters. The heater is in the middle compartment and it provides enough heat for all three sections. Are tinanti aggressive?...yes...just ask BaZ!

novafishy Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Yeh, just as I thought. I, too have only 1 heater in the middle compartment, which seems to do well, although there is a noticeable difference in the temps on either side. I see that you have some clam shells, do the tinanti spawn in these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 Wes...those large shells that I sent you are what they usually use. I put the clam in there as cover for the bubs, but the female chose it as a spawning site for her last batch Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
