Hello,

Does anyone have some information about breeding these species?
A friend of mine has those species en they do have eggs time after time but they all dies.

Please help!

Have you read the Baensch Wels Atlas I by Evers & Seidel?

Loads of info in there.

And if you follow the Amazon link by Jools at the bottom of this page, you get a good price [don't buy from Amazon directly, but the "new" price from another source in the "new and used" link on the page], and Jools gets a paid as a referer... It helps fund the web-site...

Edit: Fix typo in URL-link.

Hi

I have a group of 4 that I have been trying to breed for quite a while.

Can you give me any hints as to how he is getting them to lay eggs?

Thanks

yes I did mean that one.

If you already have it, I guess you know as much as me!

I have a pair, but I haven't even sexed them yet, let alone bred them.

As far as I know, all Pseudohemiodon are whitewater species, so I can't imagine pH or hardness will affect fry survival.

I imagine the most likely causes of fry mortality are inadequate diet and/or poor tank hygiene.
