LOL  I've always had these. I'm down from 30 species. My tanks are down to 22 from 40. I don't breed many fish these days.

Back in the day I had lots of rare species like C. teniente and C. eques. In fact, I received 10 of the first eques imported to the US and was first to have them in a breeding set up. Ian Fuller spawned then for the first time in captivity so I sold my group while they were still very desirable.

I had too many irons in the fire back then. Life is far less complicated now. I just make food day and night.  LOL

Now that's a nice selection....sweeeeet....you and Bob should talk....LOL...the stories that you two could tell.....me...I'd just sit and listen...

[Rjb3]

Yep, JR has a fine collection. And I'll bet we could swap plenty of stories.

[Jdmcfast]

Its good to know that there is that much knowledge on the subject available!

I bet we could. You know I have had Albino's for many years. And have never got them to breed. Dont know why not. I might get that worked out one day

[Rjb3]

God will strike me dead if this is not the truth.

A customer at the LFS brought in some adult Albino aeneus. Steve (the owner) says to me " I don't have time to be spawning these, take them home with you". There were 12 of them. I put them in a ten gallon and in one hour they spawned. I called Steve and said "What? You didn't have an hour?"

The easiest ones for me were: paleatus, aeneus, melanotaenia, and venezualanus. They also gave me the most fry. Hundreds of them. Other species like sterbai, weitsmani, panda, and duplicareus spawned very few eggs.

[JR]

My Pandas spawn like crazy. Just change water. And I have 50 to 75 eggs every time. My buddys that have Albino's just look at them wrong. And hear comes the eggs. I even got a group of breeders from a buddy. No eggs. Gave them back and the next day he had eggs.

[Rjb3]

What temp you keeping them at? You might try a cool water change. You could also try no heat for a couple days. Stuff like that.

[Mugwump]

I've found that I can keep them at ambient room temp, 76+ deg and they do great...I have raised it a bit before tho..then cool water changes/bloodworms....bingo...they're off...
