I feed heavily with frozen Blood worms, NLS cichlid pellets, Freeze dried tubiflex worms etc, and you will see the females fill with eggs. I also observe more chasing between my group and then start with water changes. I change about 20-25% per day for about 1 week and then spawning usually occurs. ...

Great looking fish. I have had about 6 batches of lots of eggs from mine in the last 12 months and they are really fun. I have sold a bunch locally and have around 30 fry at the moment in a 20G long and feeding time is truly a frenzy. Good luck with them.

Not sure if you have seen but there are some in aquabid right now that are tank bred. ( I have no affiliation with the seller)
Hope that this helps and good luck.

Very useful replies, thank you all.

Think I’m going to go with a small oil filled and a small fan to keep the air moving and see what happens

Hi Everyone, I have a small fish room, about 10ft x 6ft and am done with in tank heaters! How would you heat the room? The room is in the basement, concrete floor, well insulated walls and ceiling. Looking for something easy that I can set and forget! I've looked at small electric fan heaters, oil f...

Forgot to mention, your eggs do look fertile to me.

Hi, I have bred them a few times earlier this year and once they start to spawn, it is difficult to stop them! I remove the eggs and put them in an egg basket and once they hatch and are free swimming, then feed them very small floating food. I have added a breeding report and a couple videos of the...

I know that everyone thinks that their babies are beautiful, but for me, these are just adorable! LIke little sharks zipping around the tank, eating everything in sight!

3-4 Month old Tatia Intermedia fry

2 month old Tatia Intermedia fry

My Tatia Intermedia just laid eggs 3 weeks ago and these look just the same! They look to be in a cluster, almost like frogs eggs.
They should hatch in 3-4 days and then be free swimming 3-4 days after that.
Good luck with them.

Hello,

Do you know if this will be recorded as I may not be able to attend but would be very interested in listening to it.

Thanks

Going to resurrect this old thread with a quick video of my Rhoadsia altipinna

Hi Everyone,

Im looking for Loricaria simillima or similar in the US. Im based in the North East, but happy to pay for shipping.

Thanks for any info on this.

Thats awesome, can you give me details on water params? Temp, ph? etc?

Interesting discussion.

I also put my tap water aside for 24hrs before using it, primarily to let it warm up a little and let most of the chlorine evaporate out. Im not sure that it does anything more than that, but I'd like to understand if it does?

Thanks everyone, appreciate the input.

Hope to be able to post about spawning them in the future!

Hello Everyone. I just got a group of 5 Tatia Intermedia and they are doing very well. Eating like pigs and doing everything that they should!! It does not seem too difficult to sex them on paper, but doing it in the tank is really difficult! They do NOT stop moving! So my question is, how do you gu...

Hi, Amazing set of spawns, the fish must be in top condition. Id be interested in water conditions/feeding regime? If you do decide to ship, please let me know as I would be interested in some of your offspring. Happy to take the risk with some of them at the kind of prices that you are asking for. ...

Great topic...

My mother used to keep wood eating Beatles.. they we're fascinating to watch their behavior!!

Lots of interesting sp. out there with as many different behaviors as our watery friends..

Hi Guys,

This is interesting info, Any more details on PH, Temp etc that these are kept in to get them to spawn?

Great post and I would agree...

There are guys in the NH fish club who are similar and would do anything to help other members, whether it be with their fish or them...

Great hobby that attracts get people..

HI

Believe that Discus Origins has them at the moment...

Let me know if you need there contact info...

BTW, NO connection to the seller... no endorsement..

Interesting thread. Any chance that you could add a fish to eat them? Maybe a clown loach, cichlid etc?

excellent news.... congratulations..

Hi

This is really great, been interested in these for a while and great to see you spawning them...

Please keep us informed

Can you ship them??

Hi

Ive done this for Rhaphiodon using tweezers but had to start by attaching the dead food onto a thread first. It takes some patience but is well worth it once you have them eating dead....

Hi Don't have much to offer here as I dont keep large L's at the moment, however I had to get outside my "comfort" zone to breed some cory's and do larger water changes with cooler water than I was used to! When I did that, they responded well and spawned :) If we think about a river in SA...

Interesting reading Lee.

Thanks for sending along.

When you say they are Slender tetras, are these Iguanodectes? If so... cool fish..

Hi

There is a guy on Aquabid who sells really nice ones.. think he is called areo, let me know if you need more info but you should be able to find him.

Thanks
