[Ben]

What type of Geo are you breeding at the moment?

[RJ_Archer]

i breed surinamensis. There easy to breed and i get about $5ea 4-5cm and i get 70-80+ each fry lot. My male is 28-30cm and the girl is only 18-20cm. i have 200+ atm 2-8mm in a grow out tank...they are growing 1mm every 2days ATM....Hope this helps

Anyone know if there is any truth to dropping temps to 15C for 3 months for gymno's?

Give any Geo a waterchange using cold water and it is almost a certainty that you will have spawning soon after

i think 15.c is a bit too cold, but a period of time at 22.c would be ok.
