Default Breeding of Sparkling Panchax

Just wanna share some photos of my recent breeding project for Sparkling Panchax. Got the pair form Qian Hu, left a clump of moss and the pair started producing eggs and sticking them to the moss.

Enjoy!


Top: Male, Bottom: Female


Freshly laid eggs. small shrimp added to help clean the eggs and reduce fungal issues.


Eggs at 3-5 days old


1 day old fries


5-7 days old



20-40 days old
