Pipa parva

[paul]

I have a chance to obtain some Pipa parva and was wondering if some of you could help with some info on their keeping and reproduction. There seems to be some question as to keeping adults together on a previous thread? Are they easily sexed? how?, Any difficulty feeding adults? tadpoles?, Can I assume that keeping them at the previously suggested lower 70's is good? Are the water parameters critical? Thank you for anything that can be provided.

I am unaware of any problems with keeping adults together.
They are easy to sex, females are slightly larger and develop swollen papillae.
Adults will take earthworm, bloodworm, maggots, and pellets among other things.
Temperature of 26C (76F) is ideal.
