Breeding red-blue Colombians, how?

Heyy,

I have a 300 liter aquarium and would like to stock it with my own young fish as it is currently somewhat underpopulated.

So far, I've only had luck with breeding guppies and the like (it's been a while), and now I want to expand my fish knowledge and try my hand at characins. 😀 To be precise, red-blue Colombians

I am grateful for every little tip on breeding and look forward to every contribution!

Kind regards

The breeding is possible in soft water, for example at a pH of 4, a guide value of 80 ms and a barely detectable total and carbonate hardness.

In the case of a carbonate hardness of 5 and a total hardness of 7 they multiply.

In the early hours of the morning, the animals laugh in dense, fine-fied or petty-leaf plants or upholstery from dense Javamoos.

The boys are very small and barely visible. The old animals eat the boys.

Puh, that should be deadly.

He had 2 key experiences– window bench corners with Elassoma (living room deciduous pH 5-6 around) in window bench beccken pH 10 !

It’s normal.

Second, Koiteich pH over 10 because of algae- yes the fish are shy.

The humic substances interact with the metabolism in any positive way. If you put Rio Negro fish like P axelrodi in clear water, death begins at pH 5. Typical pH in the habitat is also 5–6. Only a few fish can go further down without humic substances without risk.

On the other… “Normal water fish” in pH 9-10 .. no problem
