Spawning in Feb 22, 2023 ~ Feb 25, 2023.
Hatched in Feb 27, 2023.
I guess around 300~400 heads are hatched this time.
Male: Wild catched from Congo river, D.R.Congo. Particularly selected for big yellow spots.
Female: Indonesian CB. Non-selected specimen
If there is any accident, most of them will make it till juvenile stage but breeders skill required to stop them eat each others
Update.
They are growing well.
I also got some platinum this time.
This is eggs of P. weeksii but ornate eggs are look almost the same with this.
I usualy don't take out the eggs from the tank but let parents spawn in seperated spawning tank and take the parents out after spawning.
Removing eggs from the tank have too high risk to damage eggs.
Update.
They got identical spot-patterns on their body.
Now i feed them live tubifex but i will change their diet to pellet in next 1~2 weeks.
platinum Type 1.
This type has shiny white spots and reletively darker body color than Type 2. (It still much brighter than normals)
It also grow much faster than Platinum Type 2, almost the same speed with normals.
Platinum Type 2.
This one don't have any spots on their body and have cream-white color.
It grow bit slower than Type 1 but absolutly bright.
I will keep both type of Platinums and update how they grow up.
Counting time.
Total 256 specimens are survived till 5~6cm TL (except platinums)
