Cacatuoides,

haha... thanks for the info really useful website!

willsbee,

[willsblee]

Then I would advice you to read even harder if you atempt to keep macrostoma. Very challenging fish to keep. Good Luck Bro.

So any luck of your b.channoides mating?
Mine mouth brood a few time but being a young male he always ended up swallowing the eggs. Perhaps I should separate the 5 of them in that tank to be successful.

[planted86]

nope... haven't breed yet.... but the male have been chasing the female around...

how do i get my channoide's to swim about like that? they are alway's hiding around the plants

[eeeeemo]

perhaps a photo of your tank will be of great help? =)
basically 3 reasons when they hide.

1) too little decor, tank not messy enough for them to feel comfortable.
2) hiding from each other, excessive fighting.
3) male is brooding.
