I got these guys from Frank Greco<\/a> in July.\u00a0 After several shifts into ever-smaller accommodations, they’ve finally produced a handful of fry.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if I’m the first to have this species spawn in captivity, but they’re a new and largely undocumented import.\u00a0 So, for the record, here’s a photo of my high-tech breeding setup:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s a 20-liter tank with no filter, a bunch of moss, some snails, and six hiding thacbaensis.<\/p>\n

24\u00b0 C
\n250ppm tds
\npH ~6.0
\nkH very low
\nfood: ‘Tetra Tropical Crisps’ plus the occasional frozen bloodworm and\/or frozen baby brine shrimp<\/p>\n

The low pH might matter, since I didn’t get fry in any of their previous tanks which had a pH of 7+<\/p>\n

The other two species in this genus have very bright reflective stripes as juveniles; I’m curious to see if thacbaensis follows suit, and what color the stripe is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
