Aquarist Notes

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.
