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.
