Ps steenei experience??

[MorandiWine]

I finally got a female Ps. steenei today. She is currently in quarentine getting wormed and in observation till she gets moved into her new home (55 gallon). My goal is to breed these guys as I have always loved this fish. I know that ORA bred them before but scrapped the program because of aggression in juvi's.

My question to you is...has anyone else had success breeding this fish and willing to share info?

My plan is to set the female up in the 55 with ABS parts, terra cotta pots in all configurations and then introduce the male (after quarentine) to the tank. The tank will be divided till they settle in and to let them get to know each other. So thats the plan, any other suggestions???

thanks

It's rumored to look just like the Aussie Roger Steene. Friends of mine that know him say it's true

FWIW Tyler, I saw one at ASAP yesterday and told Steve you may be interested. Nice red head on it

Thanks for the link,Gresham.Very nice fish
Though something sounds wrong with the "distribution",more appropriate for a sturgeon?

Umm, yah, that info is odd at best. Lakes? Dunno, I just grabbed it for the pics, I never read that part until you pointed it out
