Aquarist Notes

Genetic Line:   FX 3rd or more Generation

Year Acquired:   2024

Acquired a group of 6 young fish ~1"+ from Dave's Rare Fish early in 2024. Lost 1 early on but the others are coexisting in a custom 28g tank with a 30x20" footprint. A male has established dominance and spawns are happening with fry peeking out. Dominant male had eye damage from fighting and died. These guys are rough on each other. Looks like 2 males and 2 females remain. One pair is spawning regularly now.

Species Spawned:   Yes

Spawns with 2 females observed as tiny fry popping out of the shells. Fry did not last first few spawns but eventually one of the females figured it out and now have a young colongy forming.

Have Reared Fry?   Yes

Fry are staying near the mother's shell but slowly spreading out to new shells. Feasting on BBS and small fry-sized pellets.
