17/08/2010 F.gardneri looking better everyday

High quality commercial fish food can be used to get those extra vitamins in, some foods
may also contain natural colour enhancers, be sure to avoid foods with hormone additives.
After about a week of conditioning, and a good 25% water change they are ready for the
next stage of conditioning for breeding.
You may want to select a pair and separate them into their own aquarium.
Continue the feeding regime for another week, after this you may be lucky enough to
find your new fish spawning .

quality commercial pellet and flake.

So with a little TLC even the saddest looking aquarium fish can be conditioned into
breeding in no time.
