FPB / SPECIES EVIDENCE

Careful evidence.
Better fishkeeping.

Read what keepers observed, what authors recommend, and where the evidence leaves questions open.

Keeper reports are attributed experiences. They do not establish species identity, independent replication, biological causes or a guaranteed breeding method. Trade labels and missing measurements remain unresolved.

Disagreements and qualifications

L134 remove fry or retain paternal care

{"id": "cg03", "topic": "L134 remove fry or retain paternal care", "elements": ["s03.e02", "s03.e03", "s04.e02", "s04.e03", "s05.e02", "s09.e03", "s16.e01", "s32.e01"], "interpretation": "Both separated and parent-tank rearing succeed or fail. Food access, box turnover, handling and male behavior likely interact; no one-size-fits-all verdict."}

Unresolved; preserve exact source scope and disagreement.

L600 clutch counts

{"id": "cg10", "topic": "L600 clutch counts", "elements": ["s24.e02", "s29.e01", "s30.e02"], "interpretation": "200–500 eggs and approximately 400 contrast with claimed 1,195. Retain outlier as attributed, unresolved; do not infer typical fecundity or credibility from precise arithmetic."}

Unresolved; preserve exact source scope and disagreement.

L600 hatching and yolk timing

{"id": "cg09", "topic": "L600 hatching and yolk timing", "elements": ["s24.e02", "s24.e03", "s29.e01", "s29.e02", "s30.e01"], "interpretation": "Different diary anchors, temperatures and source lineage may explain differences; do not average incubation or yolk periods."}

Unresolved; preserve exact source scope and disagreement.

dominic-safety-qualification

KH0 was explicitly unnecessary; source warns against copying husbandry. Weather/water changes and feeding context are confounded; old advice must carry this qualification.

Unresolved qualification/context limit. Prior reviews and selected snapshots require reassessment; original observations not erased.

l236-arrival-date

Early-2020 delivery and late-2019 arrival descriptions conflict retrospectively. Keep both; do not infer a corrected date or seasonal trigger.

Unresolved qualification/context limit. Prior reviews and selected snapshots require reassessment; original observations not erased.

l236-inventory-endpoints

25 removed, 15 remaining and later 74 offspring are overlapping inventories; never sum or calculate survival without a brood denominator.

Unresolved qualification/context limit. Prior reviews and selected snapshots require reassessment; original observations not erased.

Coverage and gaps

This is a growing index of selected public sources. Shared authors, copied pages and overlapping cohorts do not count as independent corroboration. Date, unit, taxon, denominator and endpoint gaps remain visible in the reports.

Human-origin judgments rely on attribution and source evidence; no reliable AI detector is claimed. This library republishes original limited summaries and attribution, with no publisher full text or media.

Coverage and gaps

Most yolks gone by day 26; crushed food accepted day 30 after Artemia refusal.

Three early larvae died after handling ruptured yolks; main hatch occurred by diary day seven.

Author claims 1,184 juveniles day thirty and infers initial 1,195 eggs including losses.

Pseudacanthicus fry losses around three centimetres attributed speculatively to crowding, stress and bacteria.

Ejected eggs rescued; paternal care improved after at least two failed attempts.

Captions trace spawning pair to approximately five-centimetre juvenile.

Compiler credits commenter Malte001 instead of Lechner; egg-size units conflict internally.

Niki_up kept six regular L236 with three L046 and three bristlenoses; separation was planned, not verified.

TwoTankAmin reports purchase in late 2019 and delivery in early 2020; a later account instead places arrival in late 2019.

The regular L236 became gold-toned; Niki_up suspected diet, without testing that explanation.

Budrovcan-line regular L236 reproduced in prolonged grow-out. An initial removal count was followed by a larger final offspring inventory.

No repeat SW brood was seen yet. Fry had left the cave within one or two weeks; adult waste was not transferred.

Niki_up clarifies spawning began roughly one year after purchase, not one year from birth; another brood remained unseen.

Young L333 and L236 were indistinguishable after mixing. The breeder tank contained SW and L397.

By April 27, the reported young were approximately 1.25 inches long.

Two regular L236 groups first spawned around 3 inches TL and 2.25–2.5 years; SW took longer.

Across groups of six or more, spawning reportedly continued 10–11 months before breaks of 2.25–3.5 months.

Niki_up names Aquarists Across Canada as supplier of the three SW parents.

Udo later said three acquaintances succeeded using the described intervention and four without it, concluding the intervention was unnecessary.

Udo described the magazine image as more orange than the fish; strong coloration persisted to about 6 cm, followed by browning, especially in males.

Some January fry appeared pale; the author initially wondered about stress. In February they remained pale, while the newer brood lacked that appearance.

The February brood included conjoined twins, reported alive when the update was written.

Mikhail traced his 4 cm juveniles to an early-2013, wild-parent brood from Mario Smirat in Kamsdorf, obtained via Vladimir Mashura.

Dominic explicitly said KH0 was unnecessary and warned readers against copying his methods without considering their own setup and alternative food availability.

He reported withholding water changes until fry reached about 1.5 cm; he also saw new clutches around weather changes without changing water.

An embedded Cattleya update reports a third clutch using the same undisclosed intervention, with only eight from the second brood.

Line's embedded reply says she saw the young in Udo's setup near the adults.
