S. Chacoensis (AQ) 1 month old

Hi this is a photo of my 1 month old S.Chacoensis Aquarium strain. It is my very first S. class.

Pretty Keehoe -- I guess that's a male? What do the females look like?

Thanks Deborah, so far all boys team. Just got another bag the day before. Will be trying my luck on them. This time will try O2 tablet. Heard it is effective for S. Class.

Kee Hoe, can you provide me with some details regarding the raising of this species? For example the following:

1) water parameters (pH) during the raising stage
2) optional (kH and GH) parameters during the raising stage
3) fresh or aged water
4) how many fry hatched out
5) how many fry raised per raising tray
4) size of the fry at birth
5) ability of the fry to handle newly hatched BBS or daphnia at birth

Thanks alot.

I'm having a batch of coded chacoensis eggs coming my way in the next few days so I'd like to know the details if possible. If yours produced an all boys team then probably something was affecting their gender production.

Perhaps raise the fry in smaller batches next time? I recall from the SA annuals site that this helped-presumably because of hormones in the water causing everyone else to turn one sex.

Hi Kee Hoe, if you have the answers to my query in my earlier post please respond. Any help would be kindly appreciated.
