was aborted several days later. The shifting of parameters<br />
has resumed and different variations are<br />
being attempted. I have a friend who has proven he<br />
can spawn almost anything. He lives close by and<br />
we have moved the fish over to his house so he is<br />
working with them as well. It is more important to<br />
me to achieve a spawn and be able to share these<br />
fish than it is to keep them in my fishroom just for<br />
the sake of having them.<br />
The slightly alarming sequel to my story is that<br />
most of the other known groups in captivity have<br />
stopped spawning and no one is producing any fry.<br />
Iranocichla hormuzensis has been the most challenging<br />
fish I have kept to date and I am as enthusiastic<br />
today about them as I was when I was lucky<br />
enough to obtain them. It is an absolutely stunning<br />
fish that would be the highlight of any collection. I<br />
hope the attempts to spawn this fish are successful<br />
and more people will get the opportunity to enjoy<br />
them. This will only lead to more awareness of a<br />
beautiful cichlid and assist in expanding our knowledge<br />
base.
