Do you know this place ?
http://www.ta-aquaculture.com/
I always buy here, but normally the siberian eggs.
The supplier is very good and helpfulI think I would leave the clutch and leave the male in there untill the fry has gone, and then take him out. But I would probably take out the females now.
But then again, – to me it does sound like you are having quite a good success with breeding, so you will soon have many 🙂
And for the experience, it is also interesting to see if he is able to hold on to caring for the eggs ?
I have never tried to move a breeding maleYes, Dorothee, I meant you 🙂 thank you for answer.
I am reading these posts with great interest, – moina are such a good food and supply to artemia.Its a very interesting subject, – I used to be able to keep moina cultures for long periods of time ‘in the good old days’ but now I seem to fail each time.
But Stefanie (I mean Dorothee) , could you say a bit more about the food you feed your moina ? what excatly is it called ?Yes, I agree, – we would be very grateful for any contributions to the knowledge of biotops, and how things are developing in the areas, – at this homepage this is also one of the aims, to document as much as we possible can.
I have the experience that its not always best with a ‘second’ female, or maybe it depends on the size of the tank as well, – but one thing is that I think females can be quite bossy to each other, and the other thing is that small fry is more in danger with two females than with one.
And 😉 just have to say hi to Ted, so nice to see you here, – its been a long time.
I have never done that, so cannot give any advice, – but there are some people in the Project which has been several times, and know how to go about it, so I hope you will get some answers from them. It sounds really interesting.
All I know is that catching paros is supposed to be really difficult 🙂I am sure Bernd wanted to say more than just the smiley, so we will wait for it 🙂 …
but in my own experience, I would say, that yes, you can see them form pairs, – and if you can see a clearly preferred pairing up, its worth while to keep those two fish together.
However, I would also say, that if you have a mature male and a mature female, and you ‘bring’ them together, I have never seen it not work.
And I also often see that keeping more fish together – (though not always), bot sometimes it suppresses the natural tendency to breed.
Once you seperate a male and female and most importantly add a good cave, – spawning behaviour will most likely follow really quick.
I would try it if I were you.Yes, eg clusters (or rafts as they seem to be called ) are wonderful to have, the small mosquitoes 🙂 … are so great for paros.
I collect them, the rafts ;).. .Hmm, – it might look a bit like big dafnias, – but its hard to see on the photo.
I also think theres a few ‘egg-clusters’ from the mosquitoes.
There was a thread about black mosquito larvaes here https://parosphromenus-project.org/en/forum/12-Methods/1403-a-tip-about-black-mosquito-larvaes.html?limitstart=0&start=12I might be entirely wrong in this, but isnt it so that the species is really P. nagyi, and ‘cherating’ – ‘kuantan’ ‘pekan nenas’ is referring to the locality and is maybe mainly used if one is sure about it. If you do not have a locality, it is still P. nagyi.
You might call it P. nagyi (trade, kuantan form’)(or pekan nenas form ) ?
Though the white band to me would always indicate the kuantan form and pekan nenas only if the locality was certain.
Dont know if I am making sense :dry:
And I might be wrong 😳🙂 yes, I can probably help, but not sure what the problem was. You have to first click datei hinzufügen, dann click einfügen (insert in english)
But if its something else, – then please send me an email on webmaster@parosphromenus-project.orgYes, think it will change in a little time, – maybe just a few days, it could well be because of stress and getting settled.
But I would read the species article of p. bintan, – I think there are some similarities perhaps. Maybe not p. bintan, but some close to. If it does show a blue band, + the dark/red inner coulour in the caudal fin, – at least thats whats mentioned in the describtion of p. bintan.
P. harveyi does not have that as far as I know.
We try here to get more knowledge of all the different variants as well, – and p. aff. bintan or sp. bintan is often showing up in different trade situations, – and it would be really interesting to keep documenting the different fish, and try to get as excaxt knowledge of place of origin, characteristics etc as possible.
So please keep us updated with photosThis fish is really mysterious to me. It really doesnt seem that there is any band in the caudal fin, white or blue, its plain red /brown. Like the sumatranus.
But then it has got the lines in the dorsal and ventral, fainth but still there.
Sometimes males take a while before all coulours show strong, – it may still be a question of waiting. Maybe there could be a band coming forward – theres like an band with no coulour between the outer rim and the red in the caudal, but on some of the photos it is not really showing at all.
As it is I am no wiser unfortunately, – I hope some others will come around and give their opinion.
