Hey Simon,

Thanks for your aceis and they are doing fine! They always swim together and they are very active!

I think the eletric blue male could be the one that stress out my Electric yellows and attacked them when they accidently come close. When the EBs are having fun, the male really don't like other fish to swim close or look at them. loL

Btw I used a product called Stress Coat yesterday and the fish are breeding in the morning today. I wonder if it's a coincidence or something in it made it happen!

EB breeding

Btw, does anyone know how to catch the mouthful electric blue without removing all the rocks?

[Neakit]

with great difficulty i usually get 2 people and have 2 nets each to get fish out of my 4x3

You could try sneaking up on them at night with the lights out and using a torch...it usually works for me.

HOHOHO My EB has got a mouthful again!!! This time I will take it out and maybe even the eggs out and wait for them to hatch outside the mum's mouth , in case the mum swallow all of them again!!!

[Neakit]

yeh i agree with neakit on that one richard...
if she swallows the eggs (again) then let her go through the learning process... maybe take her out and shout at her then put her back in hahaha... "u stupid fish! dont do it again or i'll ground u!" haha so crazy

hohoho EB breeds again!

This time is a different female and could be the one that I got from keenas 2 months ago!!! Really hard to believe, they are only 6cm and already having fun! Anyway unfortunately i'm unable to know who's the dad because there are 4 eletric blue adult male in my tank.

Does the size between the female and male matters for them to breed? I know the male has to be bigger than the female however, do they have to be similar size? or the male can be much bigger than the female? hehe

Here is the female holding photo:

Also here are the photos for the clown louch and previous EB frys. 2 weeks old i think?
