Breeding Cherry Barbs: Place pairs in a heavily planted 5 gallon breeding tank. Remove adults after spawning so they don't eat the eggs. Cherry Barbs deposit their eggs that have an adhesive thread to the plants. About 200 eggs are scattered among marginal plants. Young hatch in 1-2 days
and are free-swimming after 48 hours. Feed fry fish first foods of
infusoria,
microworms
or
vinegar eels
sparingly. As fry become free swimming and introduce feedings of newly hatch
nauplii, as
fry reach size to consume, usually within a few days after free swimming. Breeding Rosey Barbs: Condition with live foods in a well planted 5 gallon tank that is about 3/4 full. Raise the temperature to about 74-76°F. If fish don't spawn within a day or so, slowly add about 1/2 gallon of water slowly over about a half hour's time. Feed young
infusoria for the first few days and
then
microworms sparingly as fry become free
swimming and introduce feedings of newly hatch
nauplii, as fry reach size to consume,
usually within a few days. Breeding Tiger Barbs: Breeding can be stimulated by using higher water temperatures of about 78-80°F and a pH of 6.5. A water change of 10%, of pH 6.4, lower pH by .2, will sometime encourage spawning of about 200 eggs. Add water slowly, over about a 15-20 minute period of time. Fry hatch in 24 hours
and they are free swimming in about 5 days. Feed young
infusoria for the first few days and
then
microworms sparingly as fry become free swimming and
introduce feedings of newly hatch
nauplii, as fry reach size to consume, usually within a
few days. Breeding Tinfoil Barbs: Not bred in an aquarium. Requires immense amount of space |
