I haven't seen anything in my Wild Aplochelius tanks yet. But I saw 2 of my female Java Medakas carrying clusters of eggs in their abdomens. I haven't got the slightest idea how they breed so if anyone can enlighten me on this, I would appreciate it very much.
A quick one before I go get another nap... my body clock is 'upsidedown' now, buring the midnite oil at egg picking.
For Aplo, use floating mop about 6 inches and spread out the mop strands. Aplo will deposit their eggs all over the place.
Medakas carry their clusters now as they're insecure where to deposit their eggs... so quit staring at them already!
Reduce water level to about 6 inches, dump in the moss and feed as usual. BTW, egg cluster carry between 3 to 6 eggs at any one time.
Kwek Leong, I think the main thing that's causing this 'mass spawning' is the temperature and it's triggering propagating instincts!, of course, I could also be wrong! :wink:
Over here, it has been raining quite frequently, hence, pretty cool and windy the past couple of days. Last nite, I took a reading off ALL my tanks... temp is 24~25º Celcius!
Even the aphy. are busy at it again and again and ag....
Taking advantage of the cool spell, I've just set up spawning tank for the Goa Killies and hope for the best.
BTW, all breeding tanks and incubation/hatching trays are dosed with PMBB/Peat Ball's concoction.... and I'm obviously very pleased with the results I'm getting... if only those d*mned BIVs are a little more 'co-operative'! :wink:
PS: Kwek Leong, I think we can go into business selling PMBB Ball's Juice... just throw a little smoke and describe it as "viagra for fish"!
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
