...well, does it? Any input from people who have actually bred this fish would be much appreciated. Also, will they take flake?
Ph matters for leptolucania ommata?

Mine take flake. They don't like it much but they eat it. They do better on high quality stuff like earthworm or cyclopseeze don't use just generic stuff.
Mine have bred in my tap water (dechlorinated but not otherwise treated) here in Athens, GA. But I don't know our pH here exactly.

I dont know, I never tried. Mine get high end flake and frozen brine shrimp or mysis as their main diet. Then occasionally in the summer I get plants from an outside tub that has no fish in it and put the outside plants in their tank and they hunt down stuff I cannot see... it is fun to watch them get so intense as they are usually so laid back.

Didn't know that they were that cold tolerant! Never would have expected that out of a Florida fish.My water is 8.2 they bred well in a large tub. 4-40 watt tubes, tons of hornwort, and no feed. Overwintered in my garage with temps down to near freezing. The hornwort brought in plenty of critters that provided feed.

I got mine from Georgia. And there are plenty of years that we get a hard freeze even down towards the Okefenokee.

Whatever temperature my basement was, plus one fluorescent bulb, but no other heat. I don't remember what time of year it was but I would guess that the tank temp was in the low 70s in the basement.
