Panduro spawning

[peterK]

Hi all,
Today I had brilliant occasion to observe my Panduro's pair spawning.
Spawning have last for approx. 45 mins. Female layed about 60 eggs, but I'm not sure already. By the way, it was unbelievably sight. I wish everyone to see Apistogrammas spawning!:biggrin:

And, two pics:
-> About 2 mins. Before first laying

->35th minute of spawning

...... temperature 26 degrees C.

IMO, 26C is a bit cold, you may have more gals than boys.
