Fundulopanchax scheeli

Another really nice Fundulopanchax. Not as many people keep these as used to. I like to mop spawn these, then dry and store the mop for 3 weeks. Makes all the fry start out the same size. Mine do better if I start them on micro worms for 2-3 days, then add baby brine shrimp. They will be 7-10 days old before I stop feeding any micro worms and go with just baby brine shrimp. At about 3 weeks I start adding grindel worms to the mix.

If you only want a few babies, just enjoy the fish. The eggs will water incubate and hatch in with the parents. If you have a good supply of plants to hide in, the fry will grow up. Not as many, but still quite a few.

 Wild fish I got in early June 2002. I got 2 pairs. I have them each set up in a 5 gallon tank. Small layer of gravel, Cool Whip bowl with peat moss, java moss and java fern. They are eating blackworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp.

I got this pair at the St Louis convention. They are getting adjusted with blackworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp.

Fundulopanchax deltaensis

I obtained a couple of pairs of these after the AKA Convention in St Louis. Pretty nice looking fish. Not a long lived fish so breeding needs to be a top priority right from the beginning. 3" or larger peat spawner. I keep them in a heavily planted tank with peat on the bottom. So far I have not gotten many eggs.
