    Ok, it was @allentwnguy. Though they dont seem to be active, this is what they said: "Ditto on the breeder boxes. While I'm not a breeder... I've raised 100's of fry and almost all of my apisto's I have were born in my home. What I have done in the past was monitor the females that are in...

    No worries. I read that from someone on here about that being their strategy. I'll try and find the user.

    Apistogramma Elizabethae on eggs - Need help

    Ah, I see. So you'll get wrigglers but no free swimming fry? Damn. Also, would there be any harm in the future (when my PH is low enough) moving mom and her cave over to her separate tank? Or is that asking for trouble.

    Apistogramma Elizabethae on eggs - Need help

    Makes sense. Not to say you are wrong, but I had a friend with a captive bred pair get wrigglers at 6.6. Possible these captive bred strains hatch at higher PH? Again, not trying to argue just wondering

    Tetras as dither fish in a breeding tank

    What tetras will work as dithers instead of pencilfish? Was looking at tucanos, embers, or cardinal tetras. Will any of these work?

    Buying Tucano Tetra

    Thanks. I always worry about mixing wild caught fish and captive bred fish, but since wetspot is a good source I'll give them a shot.

    First experience with apisto eggs

    Ok, thanks. Do I put them near her cave? Or try to get inside of it.

    First experience with apisto eggs

    They are already wrigglers, do I still put them back?

    First experience with apisto eggs

    Well I messed up then. I thought pulling was a good option.. What can I do now? I feel bad. I guess next time I'll transfer mom and her eggs into her own tank by using a hut.

    First experience with apisto eggs

    Hello everyone. Today, I found my apistogramma allpahuayo laid eggs a few days ago. There are a bunch of wrigglers. Just wanted to share my excitement with all of you. Hatched at around 6.8-7 PH, 100 TDS. Sorry for the blurry picture, the breeder box is inside the tank.
