firthy13 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 because you get a much higher survival rate by striping early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosco Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Well done edwin I hope this batch works for you. The deep dwelling WC zaire fronties like Moba and kitumba it is my understanding that they are notoriously hard to breed because they generally hide and live in such deep water. So in a tank they do get spooked easily and do lose many mouthfuls, quite often very early in the piece and sometimes hold air as a substitute. I know Edwins fish are older than most in Oz, so this doesn't really apply to them (I believe they were from the first or at least in the early imports), but the males especially do take a long time (around 3-4years) to mature and "get it right". cheers rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Just a comment on the tumbling. The eggs on the outside of the tumbler don't seems to be moving at all. Personally I would have them moving a lot more then what it shows in the video Good luck with them. I hope they all hatch out Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
