Holding female?

Yes it is holding. It looks like a Chindogo saulosi female to me. Not a red zebra.

Definitely holding

Thank you.

looks like an Auratus beside your Chindogo saulosi. love the look of the Auratus but they seem to have a bad rep. How many do you have and any problems? Bill

Tinng321 has had a death in the tank which is being discussed now. Look for other threads on this.

I have about 6 or 7 Auratus. To be honest, they are not too bad. I have 1 demasoni now (2 died from sickness), 7 red zebras, 4 albino socolofi, 3 saulosi, 3 cobalt blue, 2 OB, 7 yellow labs, 2 ice blue, 3 small peacocks, 5 medium peacock, 1 medium hap, and 4 small haps. They get along pretty well. There is some aggression but very minimal.

Overfeeding does not kill demasoni. IME they die from being harassed by tank mates and over time they become susceptible to stress related illnesses like bloat.

I have separated the holding female to a separate tank. When will she split out her young? Do I have to do water changes during the waiting period? If yes, how much and how often?

Females hold an average of 28 days. The holding tank should be just like the main tank with filtration, heat and weekly 50% water changes.

Thanks for the reply Tinng321- sorry about the demasoni, nice you have some new life starting out. Tank is excellent and stand looks like quality furniture. Bill

to me it looks like she is still holding. You should be able to see the fry/eggs in the mouth if you look from the front.
