  • @ Leo With eyes popped out sounds like it could be a bloat problem.

  • Thats a reallly great video man !

    I got the same fish.. i got 3 baby's.. but i didnt do anything special for it.. they just had some in my tank hehe (lucky me)

    The price is varible.. I buy the at 10 till 25 eura a piece...

  • @Chronicho2 Yes lucky you indeed. Petricola eggs are scattered well, therfore it is easy to have a few survive amoungst the aquarium landscape. If you have course gravel and or plants it is easy ro raise a a few with out a rearing tank or special collectiion means. However for commercial endeavors, this video method is standard minus the bowl and cichlids of course.

    

  • great and congratz.I have 7 pets.what size are urs that are breeding?

  • 3.5 - 4.5 inches

  • Awesome, thank you for sharing! I've been looking for a video of spawning petricolas for a long time! Any success in raising their offspring?

  • Yes, no problem raising young. 300 - 400 young per clutch. Slow growers though 6 months before they are 1.5 inch or so.
