Capeldrae has been trying to breed striped kuhlis for some time now. I'm so excited for you!! Please tell more about it.
I'm trying very hard to breed my oblongas. To breed the striped pangios would be fabulous!
Congrats! And when do we get to see the pics?

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 left in the bottom of the tank and I noticed a little movement and to my suprise I found three baby kullie's. They were barely a centimeter long, so I fished them out with a spoon and put them in a jug. Lynne did take some pics but they were crap. I put them in the bottom tank.
I came down stairs this morning to find my bottom tank leaking so I had to quickly empty it and transfer the fish to the top tank. When the water was out the tank and no chance of any water damage to my floor I was then able to gently sift through the gravel to try and find the baby kullie's, but to no avail, it was like looking through a haystack for a needle.
I will never repair a leeking tank again, as I had with the bottom tank. I wasn't going to repair it but after looking for a tank for months the correct size for the unit I built, I decided to give it a try.

Oh, I'm sorry that you lost the babies! Well, hopefully the kuhlis will spawn again for you. I have a good feeling that they will.
