Re: Could Panaques be brackish spawners?


I think the answers are already right there in front of peoples noses.
- Having a viable pair, either through getting lucky and placing two compatible adults together or having the patience to grow a group of 6-10 individuals out for 5 + years to get a compatible pair.
- From the limited amount ...

Re: Could Panaques be brackish spawners?


As a database Fishbase is good but also for information it is a (very large) pinch of salt. Databases can be tricky to create with what you include and exclude. Fishbase I've found also includes information that lacks citations or the citation might not entirely back it up.
The other aspect with ...

Re: Could Panaques be brackish spawners?


Personally, I would not use a pond. Just too difficult to monitor the fish and make sure they are healthy, eating, and getting along.

Yes, submerged leaves from living trees along the banks.

Re: Could Panaques be brackish spawners?


Yes, look in the Catelog and Shane's World for pictures and further habitat information.

I don't think the tank needs to be gigantic. You could raise a group in a 100-125 gallon tank easily. Once you have an identified pair (or even trio) they could be housed in their own 125. You could sell off ...

Re: Could Panaques be brackish spawners?


I have captured hundreds of P. nigrolineatus new born fry in the Venezuelan llanos, so they definitely hatch there. They are usually found on the submerged branches and leaves of terrestrial trees. They appear to feed in this environment until they reach about 1.5 inches. Beyond that size they are ...

Re: Could Panaques be brackish spawners?

Thanks!

I wish we had more data on the parameters/tank setup of the few events of accidental panaque breeding. I believe there's speculation some species may dig a nest in mud, rather than cave spawning.

Stephen Huang has gotten them to produce eggs, but I believe he gave up because the fry kept ...

Could Panaques be brackish spawners?

Thread title says it all. I was looking at the occurrence records for Panaque nigrolineatus on fishbase and started thinking about the distance from the ocean. https://fishbase.mnhn.fr/museum/OccurrencesList.php?genus=Panaque&species=nigrolineatus

Apologies if this is an obvious question. Many ...
