I have to say that A. elizabethae are my biggest failure to date.
I got 4 young F1's two years ago, 3m 1f as it turned out. They did
fine up until the largest male killed the other two males and left
me with a pair. Very well, these two did fine in a 160 litre tank
with D. filamentosus but they never even spawned !! I have managed
to not get fry from a few other DC-species but I usually get them
to spawn... The male died two weeks ago so now I really have no
chance.

Fredrik
