CThompson Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 It's been a long time between drinks, but my petricola have spawned again. Or more appropriately perhaps I should write, I have discovered the babies before they were eaten again . I went to do a water change on the weekend, moved some tank decorations, and quickly replaced it due to sighting the babies. I had to catch out all the fish (Dimidiochromis compressiceps, Protomelas spilonotus “tanzania" and Callochromis macrops) before I could get to the babies. After catching out the adults (including the petricola) I had to move all the decorations out, and if I had done that before removing the fish, they would have been eaten. I used a airline as a siphon, and I sucked them into it one by one. I only got about a dozen, three different sizes from really small to really really small, to really, really, really small, but that's better than none ?

CThompson Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Slow growers. Slower than a standard Tang, and they start off at a much smaller size. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
