Cyberfin Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well Gday there. I have a pair (M/F) of Panaque Changae L226. Arrived safe n sound - cheers Phil. I'm going to have a go at breeding them. They are currently in a 5ft tank filtered with by a large external canister type with peat. There are plants and driftwood but more of each are needed. There are 10 baby apisto cockatoo's in there too. Temp is 26deg but I've just read that 30deg is better. Apparently, many Panaque species are best bred using the 'seasonal' system; warm temp and plenty of food being the usual environment you provide to get them into condition. A couple of weeks before you want them to spawn, reduce their food. Then do a 30% water change, using cold water followed by daily 10-15% cold water changes and increase the food. It will probably go better without any other tank mates. I should have thought about that before introducing the dwarves - that's gonna be a mission. This breed must be relatively new. I can find basic info about it but there isn't much in the way of breeding info specific to the Changae. The 'seasonal technique' I mentioned was actually for another panaque species. Would appreciate any tips on keeping/breeding/rearing L226 Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
