A verry beatiful species that i really want to add in my fishroom.

Does anyone know the incubation time for this species?

Generally in the 5 month range. Brian has a lot more experiance with this fish than I do and maybe he will give us some more insight.

I would say that 5 months is the minimum and anything from there up to a year or more is likely. As with all Nothos that have very long incubation times, the development of the eggs tends to be erratic so they will usually hatch a few at a time with successive wettings. So redry the peat and wet again after 6-8 weeks or so and keep doing that until there are no more hatching. Don't discard the peat until you are absolutely convinced that there are no eggs remaining.

Thank for the answers, however they have a long incubation time i think its a challinging species for my fishroom.
