Global Region: Southeast Asia
Distribution: Indonesia
Collection Point: 'LB'
Genetic Line: Wild Caught
Year Acquired: 2025
Aquired the parents of my F1 breeders from Greg Gregory at the PVAS auction in Feb.
Species Spawned: Yes
Male was carrying when I brought him home from the auction and spit ~8 good sized fry. Wasn't prepared but fortunately caught some in a net and saved a few. Male has since spawned again but did not carry the eggs to term. 3-4 days (around hatching time) was it. Increased RO water content hoping for a better follow up effort.
