Nice! how many fry? Be careful not to provide small caves or pieces of wood. They will all pile in and ones on the bottom ones will suffocate.

Congratulations. The young are stunning. I'll have to increase the current in my tank and try and get something happening.

There are about 100 younsters (Dont count it yet exactly). Fry surviving Rate about 95%.
So far seems to me all going well

So what do you suggest for hiding places? Clay pots? A big cave?

Linus, thank you VERY much for the question! I must have gotten distracted while typing.
I wanted to say: do not provide pieces of wood WITH small pockets or groves.

I do use wood but it has gentle curves. I also use tube shaped caves that are open on both ends. I am experimenting with other materials but have not found anything for when they are small. They do not like PVC.

Sorry for the confusion.
Jim

Breeding Size is for male about 25cm, for female about 20cm.
Breeding cave is in a left side of tank under smaller piece of bogwood and rocks.

Can you tell us something about your water, like temperature and ph at the time of breeding? And the water parameters wright now?

And are the fry with the parents?

How many times do you change the water and how much?

good luck getting them bigger, Walter
