Their first spawn resulted in MANY eggs - but no fry due to the fact that I mishandled the eggs.... The second and third egg laying was also a fiasco! My male elected to chose the 2nd female to spawn with... and after the eggs were laid and he fertilized them - the first female decided to lay eggs as well and then proceeded to try and entice the male to fertilize... He was too busy minding the other spawn - and though the 2nd female was helping, she never passed up an opportunity to terrorize the 1st female or for that matter, any other fish in the tank! When the eggs hatched and the fry were clearly visible but not to the point of free swimming - the 2nd female became out of control with her aggression! Finally, in the best interests of the community, I removed her and frankly turned her in to my lfs... receiving quite a hefty price for her as she was quite healthy, large, her sex was definitely determined and BEAUTIFUL! However, my 1st female had won my heart from the beginning, and although she was "beat up" a bit, I wanted to keep her... So, after a few days - her unfertilized eggs disappeared as well as the fry that the male had been attending alone (I presume they were eaten)... Today I discovered that my lone female and male had once again spawned - and are diligently attending to their eggs... (there goes the myth of angels pairing for life!)... however, unlike the 2nd female, neither are showing any aggression towards the other fish residents... Just carefully tending to their eggs... Now if you're talking livebearers, I would have to opt for platys.... Many people would choose guppies - but my experience has been that platys are hardier - produce more young per spawn - and the fry seem to instinctively know to bury themselves in the gravel and a couple seem to survive to adulthood from every spawn... Any way you look at it - no matter what type of fish - the reproductive process is amazing to watch! Last edited by dreamweaver8891 at 25-Sep-2004 02:15 To thine own self be true...

SuperMummy! Mega Fish Posts: 1207 Kudos: 915 Votes: 30 Registered: 03-Jan-2003	Well, they are only suited to a Lake Tanganyika community setting - a community none the less - but any of the shelldwelling species such as N.Multifasciatus, N.Similis, and N.Brevis are reliable and regular breeders. Give them good water, a partner, some shells, and away they go! In fact, you could say that Multies and Similis live together in their own community, but I am sure you really mean one with different fish species living together. x

Crazygar Mega Fish "Wheel of Mortality..turn turn turn..." Posts: 1230 Kudos: 1087 Votes: 1 Registered: 30-Jun-2003	My Otocinclus, Penguin Tetras, Croaking Gourami and Tiger Barbs. Ironically, my White Clouds (16 in total with at least 6 Females) are "holding" but no fry. Its an ironic situation. Gary

littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003	Anything that won't eat its own eggs is a good choice, although with some of them, other fish will eat the eggs. Let's see - Bristlenoses are a good one, a lot of common killies, obviously the livebearers, apistos, shellies, lots of other cichlids, and of course Clown Loaches! -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!

mariosim Enthusiast Posts: 207 Kudos: 245 Votes: 20 Registered: 28-Jul-2004	over the years, i have had zebra danios and white clouds breed completely on their own. granted, most of the fry do not make it to adulthood in the comm tank, but some do. i have been reading several threads about unexpected b-nose and panda corie fry magically appearing in other peoples tanks (wish i was that lucky) in your personal experiances, aside from live bearers, what other species of community fish breed with no EXTRA attention on your part?

Dolf Enthusiast Posts: 203 Kudos: 180 Votes: 46 Registered: 09-May-2004	Common goldfish and shubukins. Seriously, for the last few years I've been discovering new goldies in the pond. Other than the pond being heavily planted, I've done nothing to facilitate the breeding. Next time they are in the mood I think I'll move them to the water garden to lay eggs and see what happens.

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	My corys spawn regularly. I'm not sure what species, but I think it's the C. duplicareus. The eggs all get eaten before I can save them, but I'm going to move them to a separate tank for breeding some day. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Racso Mega Fish Some Assembly Required Posts: 1163 Kudos: 1442 Votes: 35 Registered: 19-Feb-2002	My angelfish decided to pair off and start breeding all of a sudden. Now they breed about once or twice a month, but i havn't assisted them in a while with their breeding and they don't take good care of the eggs I have also have AWESOME luck with kribensis. all i have to do is get male/female pairs, and they do the rest.
