Barrie Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Apology if you are also a member of the facebook page but for those that are not I also post on here for those interested the latest additions Aphy. Bitaeniatum Lagos They show a little more colour than this photo. I picked them up from Hollywood Fish Farm on Saturday morning and placed them in the tank. Fed them and didnt get to see them or feed them until Monday 10am. Took a couple of eggs by 12 noon. From years ago they were hard to get numbers of eggs and had a poor hatch rate so time will tell.

Barrie Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Ive taken enough eggs at the moment so I just leave the mop in and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Are these similar to the volcanum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 they are similar from what Rodney tells me but are larger. They were brought into the country as Bivitattum Lagos but they are Bitaeniatum Lagos as Bivitattum are not from Lagos. Aqualog confirms these as Bitaeniatum by photos. Bitaeniatum do come from Lagos. Silverdollarboy2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 They are a non annual? They look pretty neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 yes these are mop spawners but dont lay many eggs. Im hoping to get a few fry later this week and some at the end of next week. The eggs I took last week (only a few eggs) should hatch this week Caryl, Adrienne and Silverdollarboy2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
