Breeding Brochis Splendens !!! Please! help !!!

Post by Enantiopus_Melanogenys »

Hello! Everyone :)
I really want to know what size of the tank is the best for a breeding group of Brochis Splendens Wild Caught F0. They are 21/2" for Male and 3" for Female. It has to be 3 Male and 1 Female, Is that right? How should I decorate the breeding tank? How long will it take to have the eggs? Please! help me. I really want to know. Thank you very much. It will be greatly appreciated. :(

Best Regard;
Bunthid or Max :)

A breeding group of B. splendens would be like with most Corydoras I guess; more males than females.

B.splendens is rarely bred i aquariums I think, but it has been accomplished:

From the article one could get the idea that they need some form of dry season-wet season simulation...
