I have kept and bred all kinds of South American cichlids, from common to rare, from large to small. There have been Krobia xinguensis in my fish room for most of the last 12 years, and never have I gotten them to spawn in my tap water. I once sent some adults I'd raised for two years to Peter Athens in Georgia, and within a month he had fry from them. I'd basically given up on breeding them here without fussing with water chemistry.A couple years ago I was able to land four wild-caught juveniles. The smallest of those, a 3" female who never really grew much past the first year, unexpectedly bred with an old tank-raised male I had been given my a local hobbyist. For the first time in over a decade, without even trying, there are K. xinguensis eggs in my fish room. I'm not sure if they'll even hatch but it's crazy how it just happens out of nowhere sometimes.I wish it had been two wild fish, and I wish the female would have been larger, but I'm starting to think she's the only female out of my group of five.HD: https://youtu.be/F-0AXeOQnt8
