Sweet, Birger. The 3 juveniles that I received from Ian have grown into 3 of the prettiest fish in my room. Just stunning. It appears that there are 2 males and a female, so it's time to set them up for a spawning attempt and a nice photo.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers. Frank

Not, true. I could use all the help I could get. :-)

While you're at it, how about some pointers on the beautiful CW022's that I acquired from you. My females are either carrying a gazillion eggs, or they are dying of bloat. They are massive. lol. Cheers. - Frank

Hehe...:)

You will hate the answer on breeding C boesmani:) (how I do It)

Fill the tank with Oak leaves, take the temp to about 22-23C, and let nature take it`s course:)

CW22....
Put a female and maby two males in a "small" tank,4-5-6 USG.

Some anubias,daily water changes,lots of live food (I know you have that)
Ceep the water cool, not over 20C, ans leave them alone:)

That`s how I used to breed them, maby others do something else?
