Red Cuipuea and Tefes from Mark

[Second Hand Pat]

This is the red Cuipeua I got from Mark the other day. There were only three to choose and I did not get the "most red" one. I choose this as it appears to have the most male attributes. Also from the picture it has hints of striations in the body. This should be a interesting fish to watch as it matures.

There's only one male trait that really counts. :) Yet another nice looking fish at Pat's house.

Nice one ... what fish in background?

Hi Pat, a lot of potential there. And I love the shape. The red color will come later with good care you are so good at giving. Good luck with (hopefuly) him.

Pat ... I got into wild because of Winn, that's all his fault :)

Oh, he's moving again, he gave me egg from his pair, i'm working on that ...

[Second Hand Pat]

So here is a video of the QT; there are six fish in the tank. Besides Mauro's Cuipeua pair (the most red), there are two Tefe, one red Cuipeua and a female Trombeta. The QT is a 75 with a AC 110, large sponge and an extra airstone.

Nice looking group Pat. What's next on the breeding front Pat?

[Second Hand Pat]

Thanks Jeff, I am currently working with a male Trombeta and a Cuipeua female (both Alenquer region fish). They have spawned three times with the female eating the eggs so letting the female mature and hope to get fry from them soon.

So if you have a pair who want all the food how do you get food to everyone. Add an AC 110 and add some FDBW cubes to the overflow which places single worms in the water column and everyone eats. :grin:

Hah? add some FDBW cubes to the overflow which places single worms in the water column and everyone eats. How does that work? Do you take out the sponge?

Is my pair the greedy one? If so, sorry for the problems they are causing :)

[Second Hand Pat]

Nope, the cubes are placed on the water surface where the overflow hits the surface and the water flow from the filter rolls the cubes releasing the worms. You can see it in the video right at the beginning.

[Second Hand Pat]

Yup Mauro and they are not a problem. When you get them back they will be so spoiled. :D

[dirtyplants]

Ok I see it now, I am surprised the cubes are not pushed across the top to the other side.

Here is how the guys are doing in QT. I have these guys in tap so I can keep Maruo's pair out of spawning mode until QT is done. Mauro's male is starting to think about it looking at how he is displaying his bars.

[Nick Klimkowski]

Very nice Pat.:D

[DiscusBR]

Very nice new video, Pat. Thanks for posting. I was wandering if you got the sexes right. The male is the Cuipeua that appears in the beginning of the video, which then moves to the back of the tank. The video then focuses on the female (larger) Cuipeua. Which one you say is displaying the bars? By the video, I understood that it was the female, but I might be wrong.

[Second Hand Pat]

Mauro, then the female is the one with the straighter striations and showing her bars? If so then I have them backwards which makes for some possible interesting developments.

How can you tell by looking what sex they are?

[dirtyplants]

Thanks I was so missing it here, wondering what you guys had up your sleeves in the magic tricks arena. Must admit you had me going, I was looking for tells with my greens.:)

[Second Hand Pat]

Coree, look at the foreground fish in my aviator and note the bars being displayed. The fish is my female Tefe in her spawning mode. Not view the video and note the bars shown on the two Cuipeua showing all the red.

[dirtyplants]

Forgive me here are you saying the middle to back tail vertical bars are more pronounced? Or am I looking at the wrong thing?
What is with the one with the dark vertical bars and halo which continues to get chased to the corner?

[Second Hand Pat]

You got it. That is the Trombeta female. She and the red Cuipeua switch off being low man in the group.

[dirtyplants]

Thanks Pat that is very helpful.

[DiscusBR]

Mauro, then the female is the one with the straighter striations and showing her bars? If so then I have them backwards which makes for some possible interesting developments.

Yes, that is correct. Before seeing them spawn, I thought the larger Cuipeua with stronger vertical bars from the middle to the back of the body was the male. But she is the female, as you can see in the video of the only spawn of this pair that I got on tape:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6oXDHGq-Zw

The female is the fish that makes the first run in the cone. When she is in breeding mode the bars from the middle to the back of her body become stronger.

[Second Hand Pat]

Lovely video Mauro :). So a little RO should do the trick. :)

Thanks Mauro, I thought you might enjoy the pictures of your babies. They are settling in nicely and note that they are on full tap ATM. I am filtering their WC water with a little leaf litter which is what I think could be being on a little pre-spawning barring.

I love seeing these there is something so magical about wilds, im utterly smitten with cuipeuea too but once I got my tefe, couldnt afford the bg Cuipuea in a group lol
Anyway once I got my greens which are different looking than yours, but to me sooooooo stunning I was utterly hooked and found my discus heaven. So I want to thank you for posting, vibrant healthy discus it motivates me to get mine looking as good only had three weeks and I am totally seeing new color and them getting brighter and richer or sharper looking should I say and a more colorful hue. I just need my good camera back phone is so ewww:o

Cant wait until next season when I will get cuipuea for sure, I know ill love even heckels (just dont do it for me yet in pictures) if I put them in my tank its their group behavior and natural look that is so appealing :D

Yes my Greens have grown about 1/2 an inch. Their curiosity with objects and new items in the tank is totally fascinating. I will hide in the hall and peek into the room, but some how they know I am there even though I am not in the line of vision. They are getting big and yes they are in a QT tank with tap water. They are true hunters, and will try to move dead wood just to see what is under it.

A little video to show the guys left in QT. The two Tefe's moved on to live with the Tefe group. The Trombeta and Cuipeua will move once the big tank is clean and fish there are fully recovered.
