Re: Breeding rosy loaches

Can you elaborate on how to do the mesh at the bottom? My rosies spawn all the time, but I know they just eat the eggs. Nothing has allowed egg/fry survival in my tank, either with masses of guppy grass or subwasswertang. They are extremely difficult for me to catch so moving them into breeding tank...

Petruichthys sp rosy, the Rosy Loach
