Red Chinned Panchax (Epiplatys Dageti Monroviae) 20+ eggs

$14.00

When you receive the package you can start immediately. Put the content in a bowl with about one liter of water, about 3 cm water level.  Use water from a well cycled tank or rain water. Keep the bowl or container covered as the eggs are light sensitive. When the eggs get dark (eyeing up) they will hatch within a few days. Now you can uncover the container and slowly start feeding. For the first days they can be fed with infusoria (you get them with your order) , after a few days they are ready to take live brine shrimp along with powder dry food. After 2 weeks move them to a well cycled tank as they grow faster in a larger tank. Keep them in a tank of about 10 litres until they are 2 cm in length then you should move them to their final fish tank.

Description

Red Chinned Panchax originate from Western Africa and live in swamps and marshes. They are best kept in groups and are very peaceful.  They get up to 4 cm in size thus ideally suited for Nano Tanks. They are a bit sensitive to water quality, so either you use a slow running HMF filter and/or do weekly water changes of about 10 litres. Hatching the eggs is not difficult.  Water should be between 200 and 400 microsiemens, temperature range from 23 – 26 degrees. You need to plant the tank densely,  floating plants are of advantage.
