Well I wet some more eggs yesterday that were stored on damp peat, and today have a number of fry of Fp gardneri lacustris and Chromaphyosemion volcanum Ekondo Titi CB3SR 07/21 both of which are very welcomed as the number of adults I have are limited. Therefore it would have been very easy to have lost either species in my fishroom.
So for the non-annuals, as well as the two lots of fry already mentioned, I have young fry of Fp spoorenbergi and Fp oeseri GEMHS 2000-45 Bioko Island plus a small number of Fp marmoratus Mbonge. The latter being most worrying as I have only been able to collect a small number of eggs even though I have 25-30 adults in the tank, evenly split between males and females. The other species that is worrying is Scriptaphyosemion guignardi Mamou as again I am not collecting many eggs, and the M:F ratio in the tank is approx. 1:4 which cannot be helping. In the 4-5 years that I have had this species I never used to collect eggs, as there were always small fry swimming with the adults but recently that seems to have stopped. Not sure what happened, as I do not believe that I have changed anything in their setup.
