Caryl Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Will they be in a tank on their own or with other fish? They are monogamous and territorial. 24C, pH7.0 - 7.5. Egg incubation period 48 hrs. Feed fry newly hatched brine shrimp. The parents will look after them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midas Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 2ft is a bit small for breeding Firemouths don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Same as reply. You'll need another tank for any young they produce, and also, make sure they have hiding places in case of any animosity Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I was thinking, "Waitaminute, this thread used to be firemouths!" They look nothing alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_guy Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 well the idiot at the pet shop thought so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I would be very wary of what that person says. Except maybe if they said water was wet, it could possibly pass as a truth. But be careful. mmmmmmmm Jewels and Firemouths? Firemouths and Jewels? Nope, don't think so. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
