1 | dkk (k: 31) since 2006-02-28 to 2016-09-16, that's 10 years, 6 months; who writes, "Not too warm water. Young fish (larvae) might die when the temperature rises above 24°C.
Easy to breed. Cold water changes and rich food after a period of warmer water & staple food will make them spawn for sure. They larvae are very inactive the first couple of days and are easy prey. I left my group alone in a peaceful community tank and they doubled their group size within two years (12 --> 25)." |
