I am looking for advice from researchers who succesfully bred the Amur sleeper (Perccottus glenii) or have any idea how to do it. I need fertilized fish eggs in large amount in an appropriate time for an experiment but I could not find any article in this topic. Could you recommend some?
Or do you think that the common methodology of breeding carp is adaptable in this case as well?
Thank you for your answers in advance!
Reallly there are rather many information on this species breeding in Russian aquarium literature and internet, e.g. - http://www.zooclub.ru/aqua/vidy/130.shtml, http://primetafish.jimdo.com/%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8F-%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B8/%D1%80%D1%8B%D0%B1%D1%8B/%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD/, http://aquarion.ru/view_post.php?id=679. But sorry it is in Russian. The main conclusion - it is not very difficult, but it similar to cichlid breeding.
Dear Andrey,
thank you very muh for your answer. I will try to translate the articles somehow.
Warm regards,
Roland
You may contact Andrey Reshetnikov = on researchgate: A. N. Reshetnikov
He is an expert including the artificial breeding.
Cheers

Second the opinion on Andrey Reshetnikov. He should be able to help.
Hi Roland
it would be nice to hear something on the results of your studies as we are awaiting this species in our areas as well

Thank you all for your help!
I got a lot of useful advice from several sources and the title of an article as well but unfortunately I do not have access to it. This is it:
Schenke, G., Grambow, A. (1965): Deutsche Erstzucht der Amurgrundel. Aquarien - Terrarien 12: 292-295.
Would you be so kind to share it with me if you have a copy?
Best regards,
Roland
Hi
I have found a person who had it in his library. Thanks to him to produce a scan that is here now available.
Greetings
Jost
