Chromaphyosemion Splendopleure (SPL) 'Ekondo Titi'

[Draka]

I might have better luck with them during the full-blown monsoon season.

Haha unker Ron, just wanted to check with you if you have an estimate for when it would be the full-blown monsoon season?

Simple.... that's when my body aches like hell all over from old bike injuries and I walk like a crab!!! Never fail so far despite trying my darnedest to age gracefully!

That's also the time when night winds howls incessantly and my potted plant leaves continuously fluttering and... the temp in my corridor tanks are between 24.5~25ºC (no chiller orh...)

My joints are already aching... so... I guesstimate... 2 weeks' time.

Haha thanks for the tip, shall be sure to check with your bodily weather clock incessantly for the next few months

Hello bro Ron,

thanks for your great advice.
so these Aphyosemion and Chrom types needs lower temp to do well and breed?

how about Epiplatys, do they need low temp to well and breed too?
i am also looking for Epiplatys dageti or any Epiplatys that looks nice!

thanks

Actually, most non-annuals, including plants and many other fish species in our hobby, will do better sub-27ºC.

From experience, Epiplaty species do ok in our climate but the only bugger that will rekindle my interest is the Epiplaty fasciolatus zimiensis 'Faimah' SL89 that I had back in 2004. Those you mentioned are readily available off Aquabid, etc.

Hello! I am having a lot of success with this killie. But I am lousy at taking pictures! I wanted to list eggs of this fish for sale on a site, but I need a couple of good pictures. And yours are outstanding! I also noted that you did not put a copy right on your pictures. Are you willing to let others use your pictures? If so, I'd like to use your picture in my listing. Please let me know. Thanks!! Bob Meyer
