Re: Nijsseni fry!

["Max Gallade" <mgallade@hotmail.com>]

Hi Brian,
I'm glad to find you on the Apisto list now.My experience with nijsseni's is 
that they like bigger 20g> tanks with the presence of some dither fish for 
breeding purposes.I have a nijsseni breeding article on my website.The 
article doesn't describe the best way to breed them though.It's about the 
struggles one experiences finding the  right fish and breeding them in a 
community tank.I do use peat filtration in all my breeding tanks.If you 
don't like peat try to add some dead,boiled Oak or maple leaves into the 
tank to add tannins and acidity.
