I.e caves you used and sizes.. water parameter's blackwater or not and if so how you achieved your blackwater.. what you feed your male and female.. and any other info you think will help..ie. the size's of your breeding pair....cheers curby  _________________  Dont Forget to hit the AquaRank Logo at the top of the forum page it looks just like this.VVV...........

Vegetable matter should also be given in the form of spinach, zucchini, romaine lettuce and cucumber. Origin Found in South America; where it inhabits the rivers, streams and water ways. Sexing Males tend to have a fuller head of bristles, comparing fish of an equal age, the females will be slightly smaller. Breeding Soft, acidic black water must be provided for these fish to breed. The male will be the dominant parent, caring for the eggs and fry when they hatch. They can be difficult to get to spawn but not impossible. Adding almond leaves can help.

Bog wood is not essential in their diet, but it will provide the tannins in the water to keep these fish happy. |

| I'm wanting to get our L182's to spawn and have them in a tank with a couple of caves for choice, a few endlers (have them in all our breeding tanks), box filter and double sponge filter. Tank size 24"x15"x12". We've recently added 3 indian almond leaves and added water prepared with pre-soaked almond leaves in. Would a small internal power filter help? As we know some plecs/BN's like fast water. Any suggestions would be welcome |
