Hi,anyone able to help here? Have recently acquired 5 paratilapia polleni up to about 4 inches long. What are the prefered water parameters etc etc. An absolutely beautiful fish, difficult to spawn I'm told, but at what size. Thanks, Jim

Hi jim
have breed theys fish in the past
they grow to about 10 in when fully grown
but will breed at a lot smaller [6in ] odd specimens can become very agresive when they get larger
fish bred at a ph of around 7.2 and the eggs are on a string a bit like frog spawn
hope this helps
regards kev

Help needed again please. Within 24 hours of purchasing these fish, one had died & was covered in fungus with fin rot.It now appears two more could be going the same way. Have been treating with Interpet no. 8 (fungus) but condition of both seems to be worsening. Anyone recommend an effective course of action to save the other four.
