Boy- the last batch recently went free swimming in the cave. I checked them about 36 hours ago and noted they were about ready for eviction. Well I just finished doing cave checkes and there is a male om eggs in the same cave already. Two other males are also in residence in other caves. Nope, no hiatus yet

omg

Are you gonna populate the xingu again with breeding


Congrats TTA

John- If i thought there was any chance the brazilian govt. would abandom its dam plans and guarantee they would attempt to preserve the zebra habitat I would be more than happy to contribute fry to help insure wild pops survive.

The best I can do until that happens is to keep trying to get my babies into the hands of folks I believe will grow them out to spawn.

I have finally set aside a batch for myself which I hope will ultimately follow in their parents footsteps. For me the goal is now to produce F2 fry from my tanks.

I honestly believe my success is due more to my well water than anything else. I recently bought a lovely male discus to replace one that self destructed. He laid eggs two weeks after going into the tank. Wrong sex but right action. I did nothing beyond putting the fish into the tank and following my normal discus maint routine.

Heck- I am trying to get rid of all my bn. I have them parked and growing all over the place. Last week when I opened the sponge filter in the bucket to rinse it out, there were about 25 fry inside. I just can't seem to stop the insanity

congrats again well done.

Nice one TTA, you'll soon need a bigger house

Mine have been a bit slow since new year with one successful batch, but with 3 failed batches from 2 males in different tanks that have always been successful before.

Any thoughts

Keep up the good work, hope that well doesn't dry up
