Re: a tyrant ramirezi male

Michael,

When I was breeding Ramirezi the pair spawned on a flat stone and then dug a pit to place the wrigglers in..  Are you sure they have not spawned without your knowledge and the males behaviour at the moment would seem that he is trying to defend wrigglers.  He may have a tough job on hand as you have coydoras in the tank.

Subject: a tyrant ramirezi male

hi everybody,

 

i've been in trouble with my ramirezi male for about 1 month.

he started to be "not gentle" with his female just when i thougt they

were supposed to spawn (digging nests).

now the female becomes uncolor when the male is arriving.

the male is also very aggressive with the couple of N. anomala.

for example, right now, he is hunting everybody even me, when i put

my finger in front of the window(?), he "tries to catch my finger"!

am i really unlucky because i have a real tyran or can i do something.

i give you some informations:

- tank : 120.40.50 (240 liters)

- ramirezi - anomala - corydoras - cardinalis - ancistrus - many plants

 

thanks for your help.
