Hello Frederik.
I am very pleased to hear that you have got fry of particularly this species, – that is very good. Glad to see they are doing well.
I kept 3 pairs, but since I send those off to you, my own has had no fry. They seem to have eggs, but either fry gets eaten before I react (though I have tried to take away the female just after seeing eggs) or something else is happening, – at least I have seen no fry. And its good that we are more people having this fine species.
I know that Rafael also has them 🙂 ..Hi Folks,
great to hear this news, Frederik!
as Helene mentioned, I am the third person who has these “tweediei”. I really love them! adly though, some of my initial stock has died so I am left with one male and two females but these do breed! I even seperated one of the nests soon after hatching so I’m currently raising several youngsters. It seems however, that the new plants I have added from one of my other tanks do their job well and some babyfishes even grow in the same tank with the adults. I am surprised how quickly the seperated ones grow despite being fed mostly with artemia naupliae due to the wintery temperatures…
I am really much looking forwards to soon spread some of my offspring to other breeders! This species, whatever its correct name, deserves to be cared for!!!
Btw: what camerasetup do you use for your pictures, frederik?
Hello Helene!
Yes its verry fun, i was very happy when i first saw the fry!
Im sure you will see some to soon!
Atleast the female seem to not care about eating them, but the cf.Linkei on the other hand i havent seen a single fry in parents
tanks from maby 7-8 spawns…I took out the first spawn and had 15 linkei fry but all died same day from something wrong with the artemia =(

Hello Rafael!
Nice that we are some peeps having this!
I realy like this species, its realy nice to watch them!
How many of them do you have?
I have a Nikon D5300 with a Nikon 40mm macro!
Paros are realy dificult to take pics of, dark in tanks and as fast you bring out the camera they go for coffee brak! =)

Hi Frederik,
yes he is beautiful!!!
I now have one mae and two females since some of the really small ones have died soon after I got them from Helene. I think they were weakened and stressed from the transport. But now I also have many many youngsters. Some are showing some coloration and they start quarreling…
Greetings Rafael
Hi all!
Now moved the fry to new tank!
putting up a update photo of one of them!
Have a nice day!

Hey everyone!
Thats indeed great news!!!
My group is also growing and some of my offspring are getting towards maturity. I think there will be the third generation of my tweediei Ruinemans swimming around by the end of september.
