8shrimps Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 How long did u keep galaxy rasboras before they start to breed? What is your water parameter? PH, GH, KH? I have around 10 and noticed some female with big belly but I have never any babies hatched... I have setup a bunch of java moss and few drifwoods for some babies can hide but so far unsuccessful..

jvision Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I found that if I fed the tank microworms every day (10gal with bottom completely covered w moss), that the population slowly grew. When I stopped microworms, no more babies. Exact same strategy for C. hastatus The tank has an HMF/sponge filter and just normal tap water. Aprox. 50% weekly WCs ensure its always clean.
