For the fifth season running my oblongas have produced babies, a bumper crop this season. My tank is 48"x12"x12"=25 gallons 1x 50 watt heater= 78 degrees Fluval 103 and Elite 50 filters I have a gravel bottom with some bogwood and stones for them to hide. I also add oak leaves. I saw the first babie...

Loachmom, A few weeks ago whilst cleaning the oblonga tank I decided to move my 3 kullie's to my community tank. Lost two of them, don't know why, so on Friday I decided to give the community tank a good clean out. I removed every thing including the gravel. There was a little water and some debris ...

I was stripping a tank down tonight, and descovered a couple of baby strippy,s
Completely delighted.

About 3 years ago I descovered Loaches online, when I believed I had my first baby Pangio More recently, as pictures provided I had my second litter, Well I've now got a third litter, allthough I'...

Just a new update Due to unforseen circumstances I had to rehome my khulies. They now live here. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p26/capeldrae/DSC00968.jpg Whilst stripping down there old tank I had a chance to count them and I have 5 strippy's [as my grand daughter calls them], 8 adult pangio's ...

Loachmum,
Sorry but no live bearers in tank, but I do have gravel, and I think that is at least one of the keys, as it allows the eggs protection from being eaten.

I,ve come to the conclusion that it is definately not a second spawning.
Friday is my water change day and it stresses the fish, so when you take photo's they look pale.
This week I done the water change on Wednesday and tonight they look, well like Pangio's should.

loachmom,
wishing you well with them, you may have to change your username to pangiomom.

loachmom,
I believe they are all from the same spawning, as I said the size differance is amazing and the quality of pictures dosn't show this.

A second spawning, now you've got me thinking?

Update,
baby pangio's are all doing well, the differance in size is starting to worry me slightly I hope the pictures below show the differance.

Update I first logged on to this site, when I was looking for some advice I reckon I had a baby pangio in my tank. That gave me 8 in total and I added 8 khulies [strippey's as my grandaughter called them]. After several attempts and differant experiments to get them to breed I had almost given up. A...

My photo's wont make publication like Martin's, but a khulie rooting about in the leaves.



They also like to root about in stones,

Update, caught the last of the little one's, I hope. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p26/capeldrae/Picture063.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p26/capeldrae/Picture062.jpg There now all in the leaf mould tank and doing fine, the size differance between them are amazing. There's one at least...
