Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Asterropteryx semipunctata are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Asterropteryx semipunctata, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Asterropteryx semipunctata, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!

Ich habe zwei dieser kleinen Grundeln seit rund 6 Wochen in einem Nanobecken zusammen mit einigen anderen kleinen Grundeln und einem Ecsenius stigmatura. Ich habe die Grundeln aus einer Aquarienauflösung vom Händler übernommen und wusste nicht, was es ist, Michael und Siglinde (Muelly) hier vom MWL haben bei der Bestimmung geholfen - vielen Dank nochmal!

Die Grundeln sind bisher komplett pflegeleicht, sie fressen alles (Granulat, Frostfutter) und sind absolut friedlich im Umgang mit einander und mit den anderen Fischen. Sie leben überwiegend versteckt, kommen aber zum Fressen raus (fischen Artemia, Mysis und auch Granulat bevorzugt aus dem Wasser, picken aber auch übriggebliebenes vom Boden auf) und lassen sich auch sonst ab und zu blicken. Sie sind sicher nicht der Super-Hingucker, aber ich finde sie beim näheren Hinsehen sehr hübsch mit ihren metallisch-blauen Punkten. Eine Bereicherung für mein Nano.
