@Frederick: yes, I would feed, as Bernd says, living black mosquito larvaes, not frozen.
@Bernd: oh I hope so to see your breeding plant ( Zuchtanlage) in September! My tanks look more like Fredericks, and I have no idea how to do else ….
Phoenicurus still show no breeding now, only the one time at the beginning … and that’s often so, when you get new fish …Hello!
Concerning the food: I would give additional Naupliae and black Mosquito larvaes. From time to time microworms.26*C sourds fine!
Hello,
How do you feed your microworms to your Paros?? I am a little bit worried because I had (I have written about that in the thread “phoenicurus female , behavior?” ) lost one tank with 1.2 P.phoenicurus.I take the microworms with a wet cotton bud out of the breeding container from the side when they climb up there and wash the cotton bud in a small water container. The water from that container I feed directly into the tanks….
Once I tried to wash the microworms like naupliae, but they are too small …
What do you think?
Hello!
If it was the food – they got (along with naupliae) new black mosquito larvaes from my balcony and microforms …
Both can came along with too much bacteria …. perhaps ….The other fish, who get the same food, are o.k. …….
Hello!
Now I found yesterday evening the female on the photos dead hanging under the swimming plants.
Today morning I made a water change and afterwards the next female (its my first tank where the first pair of phonicurus came in when I got them from Aquarium Dietzenbach, first 1.1 then 1.2) swam up to the water surface and is swimming there in front of the tank, and isn’t looking very healthy too.
Water parameters are: 4,7 pH, conductivity 18, Temp. 26°C.I will load up some photos, I manage only two photos at once, so it will take about half an our till all photos are uploaded!
and here a photo of the two females on March, 26., 2015
Today I found outdoor just two dragonfly larvaes :woohoo:
But in my balcony buckets the first very small black mosquito larvaes … :whistle:Hello!
I continue the discussion about living food in the thread https://www.parosphromenus-project.org/en/forum/3-Species/1593-p-phoenicurus-female-behavior.html
here, because this is the theme here.Bernd gave me the good advice that I could find already living food outdoors in small ponds, which will dry out again in further time, and which are without fish.
I have found one – with copepods I guess – very small little yellow animals, swimming like naupliae – there are no fish – but eggs of frogs — 😉
— now my question: are frogs/frogeggs dangerous concerning infections?????If not, I will visit it more often …
Here some new photos, perhaps a little bit better … but it is quite dark in the tank …
They still stay at their place, the male sometimes is between catappa and tank glass, sometimes he comes around and stands head down for many minutes there, while she still stays under the swimming plants, dark colored.what does he waits for?
he waits:
and she still waits motionless:
Thank you, Bernd. I will try to find those!
Again to my phoenicurus: the female still stays under the swimming plants, in dark color.
But now I have managed to photograph the male, I hope he is a male. He stays around the top of the heater. Funny. Perhaps he makes a camping clutch there too (like my linkei)?
Its rather dark there, so I can’t see what is going on exactly. But it seems to me that phoenicurus don’t want a nice cave in front of the tank at all …..the male: what is he doing there?
here him again (he is a male or what do you think?):
Hello Bernd,
In my garden water container was two weeks ago no little living food. (That garden is 14 km from here 😉 ).
And my two buckets on the balcony are also till now not living. …
And also the nettles still don’t grow here.I don’t know where to look after living food elsewhere in the aroundings here ….there is a public water in the parc but there are lots of Kois and small gold fish, I’m not sure if I can trust the water …
