Agassizi fast breeding
Well, it is official, the Agassizi trio I purchased a week ago Thursday has
laid eggs.
I went in to feed them this evening, and I noticed one of the females had
lost her
dorsal stripe, and was guarding one particular spot on the large root I
placed in their
tank. I got my flash light, and I could just pick out some bright red eggs
just under
the side of the root.
I have been feeding these guys mainly bbs for since I got them. The water
was at
78 degrees F, and the pH has been between 6.6 and 6.4. I know it is bad
luck to
count your eggs before the hatch, but I am looking forward to a new batch of
fry!

BTW: way back when I started posting on this list, someone stated that these
fish
could be addicting. Well, I am finding that it is true. I have managed to
breed three
species, and I am thinking about which species I will try next.
