Spawning Methods
Production of gametes, eggs and sperm, is not a simple matter. It is biologically expensive and, of course, biologically necessary.
4) After spawning, females will leave the fertilised eggs at the eggs collector and the males will guard it.
An 500 grams female can produce 25, 000 eggs.
Spawning:
Once the proper conditions exist, it takes no effort to induce spawning. Condition the pair by feeding them a generous diet that includes live foods. Their colors will intensify as they prepare to spawn.
Spawning
The pair will choose a spawning site and begin cleaning it with their teeth. Their ovipositors will be visible, which means this is the earliest chance we have to reliably sex the pair.
Spawning
I first acquired a pair of these fish in October 2006 with the aim of breeding them. The other two specimens from the shipment were housed in the Peruvian display tank at the LFS.

Spawning: A term used for breeding. See Spawn.
Speciation: The process of formation of new species.
Spawning cycle
A spawning cycle refers to a period when the animal is producing viable gametes which are ready for the fertilisation process. This can be in a single batch or spread out over a longer period / season see also spawning spread ...

Fish Spawning/Breeding Methods
There are five main types of fish spawning methods used by fish (there are several more, but these five tend to be the most common): live-bearing, egg scattering, substrate spawning, mouth-brooding, ...
Spawning.
Key points to note about Lemon Tetra breeding are these. First, live food conditions them for spawning at an astonishing rate of knots.
[edit] Spawning
After the cave(s) have been introduced the male will spend some time inspecting and choosing an adequate location. To condition the pair, or trio, include live foods such as Mosquito larvae which may help induce spawning.
STEP 5: Spawning process
When a female is showing three or all of the signs, she is ready to be released. You should carefully take her out of the enclosure and place her away from the male in the tank.
Spawning :
In mature fish, breeding can be stimulated by a partial water change and a rise in temperature to between 80 and 82 degrees F. One sure sign that spawning is about to occur is the appearance of the pair's genital papillae.
Spawning usually takes place in pits dug into the substrate or in a cave if one is provided. Eggs generally number between 100 and 500.
Spawning will generally take place inside a plant pot, with the same procedure of most anabantids, the male "embracing" the female.
Spawning is preceded by a long courtship ritual consisting of chasing bouts interrupted by cleaning of potential spawning sites.
Spawning has been accomplished in the aquarium. Callichthys is a builder of bubblenests from plant parts, some bottom materials, and bubbles formed by a mouth secretion and air.
Spawning will only take place during the Spring. Thousands of eggs will appear on the substrate. Once spawning has occurred the female should be removed because only the male will care for the young.
Spawning is in typical anabantid fashion and the species is a bubblenest breeder.
Spawning occurs in brackish water. The eggs will be laid on the bottom, either on the substrate or on a flat rock. After the eggs are fertilized, the male will stay behind to guard them for approximately 7 days until the fry become waterborne.
Spawning takes place over moss or the eggs may be laid among plants. After hatching, usually about ten days, fry may be fed prepared live foods or brine shrimp.
Spawning takes place in open water near the surface. The female will catch the eggs, which hatch in about 3 weeks. There is no parental care of the fry after release.
Comments ...
Spawning is at 74 degrees and eggs are layed in thickets of fine plants. Incubation period is around 10 days. Babies are small and require minute Infusoria.
The spawning tank can be a low aquarium (5 gallons to 20 gallons depending on the species) filled 3/4 full with clean, aged water and lined with a dense foliage about two inches thick.
After spawning, both the mother and the father will stay to protect and care for the eggs. The blue discus is a devoted parent and the adult fish should never be separated from eggs or young fry.
After spawning, the male will assume its paternal role diligently - watching over the nest and picking a fight with whomever comes near, including the female. Therefore, it is best to remove the female soon after all the eggs are laid.
Breeding/Spawning:
They use plant matter to make their nests, so if you don't mind leaves that look like they were attacked with a hole puncher, go for it! ...
Observed spawning habits: Males will show great interest in females which are "rounded" and in obvious spawning condition, following them closely in an interesting and ongoing aquarium "chase".
Epidemic Spawning: Simultaneous shedding of gametes by a large number of individuals.
Epifauna: Animals living attached to the sea bottom or moving freely over it.
Stimulating Spawning
One of the best ways to induce fish to spawn, especially difficult-to-spawn species, is to simulate natural conditions. Among factors that encourage fish to spawn are the environment, the food, and the rainy season.
During the pre-spawning period you can feed a wide variety of foods, including blackworms, grindal worms, fruit flies, brine shrimp, mosquito larvae and frozen bloodworms (all are live except the frozen bloodworms).
During spawning they become more aggressive but rarely vicious. Spawning preparations can last for many days as the pair bond strengthens and the female ripens her eggs.

Fish Books ...
Territorial during spawning, this otherwise peaceful fish is among the schooling group, forming a well-defined nuclear family.
Breeding: Seasonal spawning fish. The fish will spawn in the peat on the bottom of the tank. Eggs should be removed and kept dry for a period of tie.
Sexual dimorphism: Males much more colorfull than the females ...
The tank I use for spawning most pencil fishes, measures 8 x 6 x 6 inches. Water is taken from each of the 'stock' tanks (GH 5 degrees pH 7). Java Moss is used as a suitable spawning medium and as a safe haven for the females.
Nice spawning medium, foreground plant. Nuphar (spatterdock) Water lily-like plant. Usually sold as rhizome end-cutting, which rots away in a month. Likes colder temperatures. Nymphaea (Water Lily, tiger lotus) Bulb.
OTHER BREEDING INFO: Spawning is generally triggered by a drop in atmospheric pressure followed by rain.
The Zebra is a mouth brooder and the spawning process is intriguing. The male will establish a territory and its colors will become enhanced when it is ready to breed.
When sexually mature, a male will find a suitable spawning location and claim it as his territory. This may be around or under a hunk of driftwood or inside or under PVC pipe or clay pots. He will defend the spot from other males if present.
During spawning, females will grow an egg depositor near the anal fin. The Pink Convict Cichlid will lay their eggs in a dark hidden place and will care for the eggs and fry.
While many people may be familiar of some aspects of corals from television - things such as the mass spawning of corals, the impressive size of reefs and the diversity of life they support - there are things about a coral’s ‘ ...
It's best to add the male in the evening, and usually spawning will occur the next morning.Although Nannostomus beckfordi has been reported not to eat the eggs, still it's better to remove them after spawning, and to protect the eggs.
Often, a breeding tank is provided with live plants and a grate to allow hiding places and places for spawning. A temperature around 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius) is maintained.
There has been some recent coral sexual spawnings in the most advanced reef aquariums. many of the reefkeepers who are maintaining these systems are utilizing spawning induction techniques to more naturally simulate the corals wild enviroment.
flakes are engineered to provide the nutritional requirements of specific varieties or species of fish, and others are designed to counter nutritional imbalances, while still others are balanced to enhance color or growth or to encourage spawning.
The spawning site, often a long, narrow piece of slate, will be carefully cleaned and prepared by the pair in preparation for spawning.

Very soft water, and a temp of 75°F is used to encourage spawning. Use dim lighting during spawning. The female will lay eggs on a flat surface. These fish spawn best in the evening, laying up to 500 eggs.
Also, be aware of the handling of the mother fish if you are transferring her to a spawning trap in the smaller tank. Are water conditions in the two tanks the same at transfer?
Here's a great video of the highly prized Celestial Pearl Danio (previously called the Galaxy Rasbora) doing a courtship dance before spawning (although not yet proven, some have said this is a territorial display between males).
Hundreds of thousands of eggs can be released during each spawning. There's very little information known about their breeding and parenting habits since they are so difficult to breed.
Fry tanks are important when trying to breed and raise fry after a spawning. In many cases the breeding tank is the same as the grow out aquarium.
