| Finally my quad of Ucayalis bred, 2 males and 2 females
Tank size:29 gallons
Filtration:Fluval 406
Temp:80 degrees
Current:Strong/highly aerated with powerhead(marineland 660)
Lighting: LED moonlights
pH:8.4
Alkalinity:120-180
Hardness:soft
Note:my water test kit is that easy dip type(Tetra easy strips)not sure how precise it is.
Their diet consisted of various veggies like cucumber,zuchinni,squash,pumpkin,occasional Cobalt flakes,Cobalt pleco wafers
I did 15% to 20% daily for a week then didn't do any water changes for 2 weeks. Let water get "old" but yet kept safe,I didn't see any eggs in caves(4 caves) He must of had them in back or in a bogwood crack. I had no idea there was eggs till I seen some fry.
