Just putting my feelers out there for anyone experienced with breeding fish in the skunk complex. I have a pair of A. thiellei that were paired by me. They're definately a bonded pair as exhibited by their behavior. They have done some cleaning from time to time but never really seem to get past first base. When I'm consciously making an effort to get them to spawn I tend to feed twice per day on the week days and three or four times on the weekends. I rarely have time for true saturation feeding, so I tend to overfeed and deal with the waste later. I am not an experienced breeder. So, any suggestions are welcome.
Current setup is:
Tank - 40 breeder
Scape - BB with flowerpot
Sump - 100 gallon rubbermaid trough
Filtration - liverock and a huge skimmer.
Heater set point - 80F
Chiller set point - 82F
Lighting - Metal halide
Photoperiod - 0800 to 2000
SG - 1.022
I don't test anything else unless there's a problem
Food - Rod's food fish only formula, frozen cyclopeeze, mysis, Ocean Nutrition pellet
WCs - 30% 1-2 times per month.
That's off the top of my head....
