Re: A.hongsloi

Hi Ken.

I just started breeding A.hongsloi this past year I have color forms I
and II. I have found them to spawn quite readily in water with a Ph of
4.8 a GH of less then 1 with about 30 microsiemens and KH 0. My hatch
rates have been superb and all my females have tended their young for
at least a month in this water. You can of course see what the outer
limits of their tolerance is as far water parameters but this is what
has worked for me, and quite succesfuly I might add.

I might also add that the female is rather tolerant of her mate after
spawning and in an aquarium with enough space he can easily be
observed patroling his vast territory from any intruders. Good luck Ken.
