Aquarist Notes

Photo of aquarist's species:

Genetic Line:   Aquarium Strain

Year Acquired:   2025

I acquired mine from another breeder. Extremely hardy and will breed and survive in tank as parents provided enough cover is provided.

Spawning notes:

Species Spawned:   Yes

Juveniles will spawn and fry will survive to some extent. Adults and large juveniles will prey on eggs and fry so best success results in collecting eggs from a mop and raising in a separate tank.

Have Reared Fry?   Yes

Typical rainbow care, infusoria, golden pearls, vinegar eels

Young fish available?   Yes
