    Ten days later!!!

    Dude I swear your the most interesting person, your comments on this site are truly informative! And it's strange I stumbled on this and you've clarified it for me. I recently saw my female absolutely freak out when I switched the light out. She was guarding fry but as soon as the light went...

    Even If the light is very bright it's not a permanent lighting solution just to retain your first spawns! Once you have a network of apistogramma to work with its much easier to breed them! But until that first spawn are adults that will be your contributing factor! As I say though I wish you...

    When to pull fry in harem tank

    When to pull fry in harem tank

    Worm cultures? If so I'll have a look! I'm always reluctant to buy wet goods online as I have a good supplier for fish but best live food local is daphnia from a commercial LFS which is lame! I'm interested in white worm as they are meant to be quite easy and I have very little time for my tanks...

    When to pull fry in harem tank

    Well I have two spare tanks one 30l one 20l so I suppose I can use either of those! I just thought it might be better to keep in a breeder box to maintain the exact same water parameters to be honest. I have removed a spawn previously to a 20l tank and they didn't survive. Perhaps i wasn't...

This has happened but there is still 4 healthy looking fry about 9 days in, they've grown a lot and are now looking less like they'll Be eaten and more...

    hello from the UK

    I had a brief encounter with ro but my plants took a battering and at the time had algae problems anyway so just didn't work out well! I have plenty of space to be honest I live alone and acquired all of my tanks cheap so my trifasciata 1m/4f have a 200l with a few blue eyed killis (not big ones...

    Advice on motherless fry

That's so funny my apistos would nevvvvver do that I remember I had some Nigerian red fry and they were a fair size well out of fry stage dropped one in my big tank.. he didn't even touch the surface and my cacatoides ate him whole and went and sulked...
