Breeding Aequidens metae – Yellow Acara
Breeding Aequidens metae – Yellow Acara is not so easy. Males are very choosy for a partner. Best is to let them choose from a group. When a couple is formed 200 – 300 eggs are laid on a flat substrate. Both parents take care of the fry. After 2 – 3 days the eggs hatch and another 2 days later the young are swimming free. Then you can feed them newly-hatched brine shrimp.
