I'm not happy with these sterbai

Post by sskruzr »

I got 8 big sterbai last month from a fellow club member to try and spawn and they really ticked me off tonight. I had them in a 20L for month, loading them up with blackworms, nothing. Then I moved them to a 40 breeder, no other fish except 5 melini cats, nothing. Sold the 40 breeder, moved the sterbai to the 180 until I get the other 20 set up and now they're spawning, now they're spawning. Needless to say, the angels are eating good. Well at least I know there's males and females in the group.

Very cool to have those fish spawning. Just save some eggs and raise some babies now.

At least you've got them started! It would be cool to photograph some spawning cories. Hint!

Well I have their 20 set up again and will move them tonight or tomorrow. I'm not sure how often they will spawn but maybe in a couple weeks I'll try a cool R/O wc and we'll see what happens. Unfortunately I have to go outta town for a week next month, so it'll have to wait until after then. Work seems to think I'm trainable. Jokes on them.

I'm glad that they started to spawn! It must be a joy to watch them!
