mr pleco Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 no sorry dude never thought to give these guys a go but id treat them like corydoras and set em up that way to breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 no sorry dude never thought to give these guys a go but id treat them like corydoras and set em up that way to breed I agree with that, I once had one which Im sure was a female, she had a massive body size that looked full of eggs. THe others in the tank were same size but not as round. Let us know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-town... Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 sweet setting up the tank today. do you think lots of water movement or nah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr pleco Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 i would try with just a big airstone in a 2 ft tank with about 3m /2fm ratio ,let them settle in feed well then do a big waterchange after a week and pull the plug on the heater over night and see what happens ..dont forget to plug it back in in the morning the airstone in that size tank with a air driven filter should create enough current but if not you can always replace it with a small powerhead if preffered but i would think that an airstone will help with oxygen saturation levels aswell and this could help trigger them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Im watching this thread with great interest. I bought a couple more ottos of HaNs today, so my try myself if I get time after setting up the new tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-town... Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 possibly but cant say for sure as I have had some which I thought were males but have gotten fat like that also. still no eggs as yet I should really do a waterchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
