Spawning Petricola

[nicholsd]

Anybody here know how to do this? I have been reading a little about the flower pot marble way. But I would rather talk to or be shown by soneone who has experince. Let them be in the drivers seat and I will just go along for the ride.

Right now I have a female holding with eggs in with two males. If everything goes right maybe I have time to rig up a spawning site.

I would like to try Petricola fry.  Thanks

I never have spawned them.

Alex at Ultimate Fish has. You might pay him a visit.

I do however, know they like caves.  Really small ones.

It is easier to have two flower pots with marbles... that way you can switch them out every couple days to keep the inside of the flower pot clean. Most of the articles are fairly comprehensive.

Re: Spawning Petricola

I will call Alex today and see how talkative he is. Prosper wil be back at work today also.


Most of the articles that I found at Planet Catfiush and other places seem to all have different problems either with fungus on the eegs,tumbling or not to,feeding ect. I think it might be a little bit more involved than say raising Yellow Labs.

Thanks for the replys.
