Gan, that's nice to know that your macrostoma male is mouth-brooding. Good luck and I hope to hear that you've got fry being released.

Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
Found my female mac dead. No physical wound. Male still around.
Sorry to see that Gan.
I know a guy in New York who has successfully bred macrostoma on a couple occasions. As far as I know he's the only person to do it in the US. He is the same guy I got my channoides from.
If you would like his contact info, let me know, he's a very generous person and I'm sure he would be glad to share his methods.

Time is the greatest teacher, unfortunately it kills all of its students
Either mine not fully mature yet or this particular type just won't colour up as intensely as seen in some pictures. Both fish stay in their dull colour, showing the bars on their bodies most of the time, except in the midddle of the night when I shine a light to 'check' on them do they show some real colour. In fact that female shown its best colour when dead!
The only 'stupid' thing I did recently is adding more peat to lower the pH, hopefully to bring out the colour, & feeding them small guppies. The female seems to love it, swallowed up quite a fair bit.
Jon, thanks for your offer, It will be nice if your friend can join the forum here & share his valueable ways of breeding the mac. As of now, I need to source for another female or get another pair if my pocket allows . My feeling now in 'Singlish'- Heart pain.
The remaining male 5 months under my care.
i cant acess your website, but how much would a juvenile betta persepherone be?
