Hello again!
My Moina success was in summer – now in winter it is not so good …. I think I forgot the factor light ….
Now I will try with light ….Hello Bennie,
Once I bought such adult Artemia … They where nice entertainment for the P.linkei, but they didn’t eat them 😉 only my Spaerichtys selatanensis had a try to use them as food … And my P. Phoenicurus even are afraid of white mosquito larves 😉Yes, it’s a pity that I can’t find the clutch … and the phoenicurus male seems not to be a camping Paro in front of the tank … they all are so shy …!
I have no idea, where they hide … they have just some leaves and Java moss … I didn’t see the male use the two caves on the ground which I had prepared …. I am just preparing another one which can be fixed a little bit higher …But I was very surprised myself that they already breed … And I can count already 8 little phoenicurus ….
I will keep my eyes open, to find out where Mr. P. phoenicurus
hides his clutches ….Till now I can count 5 offspring who are already swimming in the open space.
I see two different “ages”.For the phoenicurus isn’t camping in front of the tank and doesn’t use the caves, I didn’t dare to disturb him with troubling the tank searching for his nest to take larvaes out … so its again extensive breeding …
you see again that I love and respect my hiding Paros … 😉
Now 20 juvenile P. linkei have moved into their new 40x60x30 tank!
There are still about 5 small juveniles left in the parents tank, I guess some very small ones are still hiding, and the male is going on breeding 😉My linkei make an intensive extensive breeding 🙂 .
And the offspring have a good filled little stomach. Of course I make each week 50% water change, but the EC is about 30 µS/cm. So it seems that there is not too much pollution caused by too much living food.I think I will leave two of the bigger young females in that breeding tank, so I have for every male two females.
The others shall grow together in their juvenile tank and I wonder how many male offspring there will be. The first offspring were female (those two who are already rather grown up).
Hallo Pawel, also thank you!
I do that also – if I have too much I store them (and other living food) in the fridge.
These days I was told at home now I could store my living food on the balcony instead of filling the fridge …;-)Thank you very much for the long answer, Peter!
Now I will be a little bit more relaxed concerning Naupliae!And the Paroforum also convinced me to use Gardenlivingfood 😉 and my Paros began to spawn! 😉
Perhaps in some weeks I must give my linkei a time without such splendid food and two degrees C lower water temperature to have a rest!
Thank you, I see.
And of course I feed them at once.I was just looking for relatively safe methods to get more naupliae at the time (specially in winter) because I have now already three Paro tanks, soon they will be four, and one tank with Spaerichtys selatanensis. Even my senior – tank inhabitants love live food.
And as I’m myself living “Bio” as possible, I feel not good with using chemically decapsulated cysts.
No, not serious sorry!
And I read the book really and understood. And I love those hidden Paros with their quiet live. I just wanted to say, that not every Paro photo must be flashlighted. That seconds when they show all their color are phantastic, but for me they are also beautifull in their everyday behavior!
(And I never had those tanks with bright light and colored fish living half a year).
