Hello everyone,
I hope for you all to succeed in your attempt to breed this species! And I am positive that eventually, you will all get them to spawn.
I don’t know if you have already tryed something like that but I just had a really good experience:
I had my P.linkei male and female seperated in two tanks for something like ten days. The male had previously been less active in spawning and there had been some weeks without nests. I fed them with lots of black mosquito larvae. Today, I made them join again and what can I say? They are already display beautifully…
I know, it’s a different story with phoenicurus but I thought why not give it a try if nothing else works?
