ARCHOCENTRUS NIGROFASCIATUS( GUENTHER,1866)
WHERE FOUND:- CENTRAL AMERICA
SIZE:- 6 INCHES
TEMPERATURE RANGED:- 68-78F
PH:- 6.5-7.5
FOOD:- OMNIVOROUS
BREEDING:-
Well, you will need a pair of them, a tank with water in it and you got baby. It just that easy. I recommend at least a 20 gallon aquarium, but smaller will work. Put some large rocks in the tank and put your fish in. I also recommend you used what is called the baby saver filters. The power filter, will suck them up and may kill them.
Within one to four days or there about, they will lay eggs. The eggs may or may not be hidden from sight. The eggs will hatch in one to two days. Now you will need a special baby fish food for the fry to eat. In the few days, you will be able to feed them live brine shrimps. If you do this they will grow quite fast. When the fry get to about 2 to 3 weeks old, you might want to take mommy and daddy out. Because they will be ready to spawn again.
COMMENTS:-
For anyone who want to try breeding cichlids, i recommend beginning with convict cichlid. These are very easy to get to spawn, some people will say to easy. lol. The male is bigger than the female. The male top back fin will be more pointed, while the female top back fin will be more rounded. Plus the female will be redder in the belly area. Most of them will take very good care of their young. Some of mine have young every 2-3 weeks. When they get ready to spawn, you will need to take any other young out and put them in their own tank. Because they will protect your young at all cost. If you put your hand in their tank, when they got young, they will attacked your hand and they got teeth, so they can bite. I recommend you spawn them in at least a 20 gall aquarium or biggest. So with this said, have fun.

These are some of my Rosy Red Minnows, that I have. I am not sure of how many I have but it safe to say, I got in a 100′s of them.
Last spring I brought 32 of them from a pet shop up a line. They was in very hard shape. They had lumps all over them. Plus the person catching them was very rough, with them.
Within a few days of getting them 23 of them die. That left me with only nine of them.
At that time I had no idea of how to get them to spawn for me. I feed them good and got them looking good and then I try to spawn them and guess what, they spawn with no trouble.
They are a very nice little fish. They goes nuts when I feed them. They are not scared of me. I can put my hand in their aquarium and they will be all around it.
After I brought them from that pet shop, I found that one of the fish wholesaler that I was dealing with, sold them. So I brought 100 of them at wholesale price. They came but their was 30 dead ones in a bag. Within 3 or 4 days I had lost just over 80 of them. I got in another order of them and the same thing happen.
They are classed as a bait fish, so because of it most wholesaler and pet shop do not treat them right. They have feeling the same as any other fish. If you are unable to treat or look after them right, then you should not have or sell them.
