This colony is about 10 months old and started from a pair in a 10 gallon. The pair were really skittish in the 10 and did not breed very well even when coaxed with gobs of live baby brine. Got two spawns and only two fish survived from each.

I moved them to the 20 long after 4 months and they are much more prolific and the spawns are having better success. There is a spawn from the main pair about once every month and a half and about 10 fry survive (or are born) with just live baby brine and crushed flake being fed.

These fish exhibit super awesome behavior and are hardy. The whole colony survived my dumb ass creating a nitrate spike for around two weeks while the filter was clogged with duckweed and hardly flowing.
