hi All
Anyone knows how to make Adoketas horny. Mine, like many other bros here, are like an old married couple. I prefer NOT to try the "get more Adoketas" method as they are quite expensive & I don't have tank space
Edwin Tay, my male is like having too comfortable syndrome. Now lazing around, only the female very active. He will just swim around lazily. I am not sure what is wrong with him. Anybody experience this? Previously chasing the female, now totally no chasing. Just waiting the female to approach change coloration then swim away..

hi bro Joopsg
Like I said - like old married couple.
Maybe tonight I go back home & read the Romer book to get some tips. Or, ask some marriage counsellor to put the pep back in the relationship.
I just worried he is sick or what? He will just swim away from the female when female approach. It is also quite restless. Now no tankmates don't dare to put any.

sad news...
my hongsloi and elizabethae fries all cannot make it..
i tried to feed crushed dried food but yet see the fries unable to survive..
sigh..
Bro venom, try keep some moss or in the tank. I believe they can survive on the things on the moss.

that is what i thought too.
been observing the female doing that.. my elizabethae male does it as well.
but i cannot find any issue on why my fries are not surviving.
Maybe first time? After few more time should be ok..

Wah the Agassizi pictured above is "Double Red" or "Double Orange"??? Breed a few more generations become "Double Yellow" liaovery poor quality control on the farm.
For fries surviving are you sure it's lack of food? Are they all emanciated with sunken bellies when they die? if not, look to other causes e.g. water quality etc. Very rare for fry to die of starvation if parents are looking after them + there is moss in the tank. Even debris on the substrate can serve as a breeding ground for microorganisms that can feed the fry.
For the adoketa, I've tried most known methods to induce spawning liao - still no results despite the pair being bonded. Sometimes it's just a wait and see game i guess, they're living organisms and much fuller of character than most other dwarves so I suppose they aren't the "breed on demand" type of fish unless you have linebred fish very far down the line such that they've lost much of their wild character.
Only a couple of the male aga have reddish tails. The females are much better. Choose that male for the nicest tail shape.
