Hara longissima aquarium spawnings

[The.Dark.One]

Congratulations to Roy Blackburn of Castleford Aquarist Society who yesterday realised he has at least 2 spawnings of H. longissima. Short report and some (poor) photographs of mine to follow in the CSG Journal.

So few successful reports of Hara spawnings, well done to Roy. What's the latest count on youngsters?

Is this a first (H. longissima)?

[The.Dark.One]

There are at least 15 youngsters spotted so far I think.

I think Adrian (medaka) has spawned E. pusillus, jerdoni and minuscula. AFAIK this is a first for longissima.

Are there any pics available? (there are none in cat-e-log)

Good to hear about this spawning - well done Roy!

Hi Richard

There are pics of the adults on my Scotcat images. (Poor) pics of the fry will be in the breeding report I'm writing for the CSG newsletter.

Yeah, well done Roy. He's chuffed!

I think Adrian (medaka) has spawned E. pusillus, jerdoni and minuscula.

HI Steve, yes I have spawned these. So far they are the only Erethstini they I have managed to spawn.
I am trying to spawn C zonatus at the moment. but no joy so far. I do have these mothcats along with a couple of others.
But at the moment I am being over run with cory, blue neon medaka's and danio spawnings.
No growing on room left...



BTW Pass on my congratulations to Roy.

Hi

Good luck with the zonata, that would be great to see those spawned!

Oh well at least its a good problem to have, being overrun with fry!

I'll pass your congrats on to Roy

Some poor videos of the latest batch of fry (he's had about 4 spawnings) - the tiny specks on top of the breeding plant pot caves (1 male at each end).

And then one of the first and second batch survivors.
