![]() Hmm, I would think cooler conditions and much higher flow would simulate spring melts in mountain streams. Have you thought of building a tank that simulates a cool river?

![]() Let us know if you can figure it out. We've got a couple of them too, although we know them as Rosaline Sharks. Took us a bit to realize that this thread was about the same.
It's weird you had so much trouble getting yours to eat. Ours have been pigs since day one, and eat anything under the sun. Anyways, will definitely follow along this thread. Really exciting to see that you're trying to breed them. As for ideas, we don't have many apart from what people have already suggested but glad to hear that they are starting to display signs. =)

![]() well i did a serious waterchange and cold water top off. re aquascaped the whole tank( because i destroyed it tryin to get a pleco out. )
i have recently read that they will be more likely to breed in larger numbers. i have a total of 5. they were wid caught in india and ony 5 of the 9 i bought survived. (i did get refunded) as none of them would take to anything. as of now the 2 year + period they will only eat daphnia and nls pellets. i still try flake blood worms brine someties but they will ony pic at mysis. they do however LOVE live brine. i recently came accross this page and found it to be more informative than most. http://www.seriouslyfish.com/profile...nisonii&id=177 Yes they are also more commenly called roseline sharks, red flash sharks,
