Thanks for sharing!
Alot of show quality pieces in there, the dark background really brings out their colour. Love your setups, very natural looking, slightly concerned about setup 2 though, as the rocks look quite sharp and fronts to tend to dash around sometimes when spooked and this might cause injuries, I noticed you put them with lepidios, how do they get along? I recently had to put 2 lepidios (coz my lobochilotes was killing them in another tank) in with the mobas they seem to be doing fine for now, but not sure how they will fare in the long run. Managed to breed my mobas but with very little success (i.e. a few small batches). So far never managed to strip early and tumble, eggs always died even when I stripped early even if I used very expensive tumblers (not sure if its just how I do it). My batches that survive are from females that have held around 10 days such that when I strip, the wrigglers have emerged and their survival rate is quite decent when I tumble. I currently run a chiller on my tank (at 25.5 degrees) and I believe it helps with the spawning. |

Thank you for your encouragement !

Lepidio are great tank mates with Fronts They never bother the Fronts. Ya, totally agreed with you on the sharp edged rocks. They are potential hazard ! I think its time to start sourcing for more boulders Like to know your view wrt the male ratio for a breeding colony. Which is preferred ? A single male, or 2 males in the group ? Cheers |

I tried 2 males in a group, both were about 11-12 inch and they were doing well for a long while. When there is no spawning they were rather peaceful. But there was one time when a female started to drop her tube and one of the males killed off the other. When i got home, it was barely alive and its whole body was very badly battered it died shortly after. Since then my group only has 1 male and aggression is very minimal (limited to the male chasing all the other females away when getting ready to spawn) |
