Joshlikesfish Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I've seen a few threads were people got fry from mouthbrooders. Josh_S had a good one. I imagine it can be done without it but they help, I think haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I think you are confusing the breeding habits of your Synodontis eupterus with those of Synodontis multipunctatus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I didn't think that they would do it in an aquarium. But someone's gotta be breeding them in this world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=Synodontis+eupterus+breeding&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari Google is ur friend there are tons of threads about it most suggesting hormones etc.. They are not like cuckoos and oscars are not mouth brooding hosts either. Good luck, I would love to see it done in nz but it doesn't look too likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
