Wow interesting!
Welcome aboard!

Thailand? isn't rainy season Sept - Oct? Similar to Malaysia or is it different?

Rainy season in Thailand is July - October. (First spawn is on August. Second spawn is on September.)

I have heard this theory before. I just didn't know when the season was exactly. And you lower the water temp for those months? or do you keep it steady? I think in Thailand you don't need a heater most of the year.

I need a heater in the winter when temperature is lower than 27 C. In other season I don't need heater because weather in Thailand appropriate for them (about 28 - 30 C).

Last summer I loss 6 adult redeye because weather in Thailand is very hot (They still in my refrigerator).Temperature in my tank is about 33-34 C . I turn on an electric fan for them 24 hours a day but they still died.
I don't want to imagine what the weather is in next year and next next year.

aww sorry for your loss.

Some ppl with freeze an old pepsi bottle with water and let them hang in the tank or sump to chill the tank a bit. Kinda a cheap alternative to fish tank chillers.

That's a good idea about the Pepsi bottles .... although I hope never to have to resort to that here in England. If it gets that hot, that would be a serious summer.

It only happened ones when my tank was hot.

I put ice cubes in a zip bad and dropped it in my tank

We need to split this thread into the Puffer Breeding forum. Is that OK with you, Joro_Q?

According to Dr Ebert's book, they are listed to do best kept in pairs.

Ok, Take it to breeding forum.

Pufferpunk, Do you have any Dr.Ebert's document.? I have had a German language document that talk about redeye breeding. But I don't know where I kept.
