Laetacara Curviceps

[rsretep]

Laetacara curviceps have bred in a 40 breeder with a large group of assorted fancy guppies, six corydoras sterbai, and six corydoras swartzi. Don't know if the fry have much of a chance of survival. Their only savior may be diligent parents and that they are in a fairly heavily planted tank. This is their first time breeding. Anyone have an experience with this species? Thanks in advance.

No experience in breeding them, but congrats on the spawn.

Thanks Jon. Hoping for some survivors, may try to pull some from the parents if I get a chance

Pull them if you can. More BAP points.

From what I understand, Laetacara sp. are tough ones to breed and raise. I had no luck with mine... kept putting eggs down like once a week, but never saw larvae or free swimmers. Actually just sent mine to Wisconsin yesterday to see if a change of venue would help ;P

Breeder of the Year strikes again...

Let me know what happens. I had a pair of these once and found them enchanting. Am interested in your survivors!

Started with a group of six around two years ago, they had their own tank for a good while with no breeding. Did not believe there was a good male/female ratio but turns out there was. Will keep you all posted on their progress

Gratz Pete. Very cool, sir.

Was able to pull about fifteen fry from the parents and man are they tiny...put them in a plastic tub with some of their home aquarium water and an airstone...they still have their yolk sacks...am hoping for the best

took some pics and video of fry will try to post later
