I have had some interesting spawnings in my tanks
recently. Since like so many others, I have run out of tanks to move my
fish into, I separated my male A. guttata and A. hoignei males from the females
and their fry by placing a partition in their tanks. After several weeks,
the female guttata chased the fry through the screen of the partition into the
male's side. She then spawned and the eggs hatched a couple of days
later. The interesting part was that the male was separated by about 8
inches from the spawning site. The hoignei did the same thing.
I wonder how far the male and female can be separated and still get fertile
egss?
