They matured quickly and spawned as soon as I raised the temperature in the fish room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with others in the genus, they are in pure RO water supplemented with alder cones, coir, and oak leaves. Despite all this the tank is running with a pH a bit above neutral; that didn&#8217;t prevent them from spawning several times and producing a tiny bubblenest and a handful of fry in a small pvc cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I collected one group of fry by removing the cave w\/fry into a separate box and letting them hatch out and exit the cave on their own. A second time I accidentally tipped the cave and the eggs floated out. Many of they hatched after this disturbance but the fry seemed to do better when left alone in their nest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most commonly imported and kept Parosphromenus but mine are extremely shy. I have a coir mat in their tank and they spend essentially all their time underneath it; I never see the adults unless I intentionally poke around looking. One young has survived and grown up alongside the parents and it is much bolder, generally out where I can see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"939\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-3-939x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-3-939x1024.png 939w, https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-3-275x300.png 275w, https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-3-768x838.png 768w, https:\/\/bogott.net\/unspecified\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-3.png 1186w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started with young tank-raised fish from Brian Martineau of the Parosphromenus Genetic Resource Center.
