alanmin4304 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 They do it so you will not need to worry. 1 Get a pair of the same type (Chinese or Japanese) 2 Put in suitable plant for female to lay on 3 remove eggs daily and wait for about 10 days for them to hatch 4 Remove to seperate raring container. Start new one every week or they will eat each other. 5 Feed live brine shrimp nuplii and microworm 6 Do complete water change every 3 days 7 When ready to morph relocate to suitable tank with dry area for them to go to when they morph 8 Relocate to suitable area when morphed. 9 Feed on fruit fly, daphnia etc. The invoice is in the mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I would not pay him - he did not say what the suitable plants for the eggs to be laid on are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Cardamine lyrata is good. They lay individual eggs and fold the leaf around the egg so you know where the eggs are because they are folded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I also leave lots of moss in my tank, it can be a bit time consuming pulling it out and checking for eggs but they do really seem to like it and it doesn't affect it having pieces being pulled off it all the time.
