I have gone to my fish this arvo and found something interesting to me.
My trifasciata have spawned again and she is now looking after 2 lots of fry, one lot almost 4 weeks old and one lots week I just found them. She is not trying to kill them or chase them away but instead watching both...
If you were looking at trifasciata mine take pellet food but love there live bbs and microworms and black worms as well. If they do spawn for you the babies I have got at the moment are thriving on bbs and microworms. I am going to be getting some repashy superfood soon to try but I am sure Ted...
I have been hatching brine shrimp for my fry lately but it's a pain to separate the shells from the live ones. I had a go last night at decapsulating them and I think I did all right. The eggs went white then orange I rinsed until no bleach smell left and now I stored them in the fridge for use...
So because it is the A. Trifasciata that has the fry when would be the ideal time to take them away. Or what do I look for in the parents that tells me it's time for the fry to be removed.
For this batch I am going to use one of my ready tanks which I am taking the undergravel filter out and...
Can some experienced breeders please give me some advice as to how to go about setting a fry grow tank up?
I have plenty of java moss and frog feet weed available to me, but I am wondering if to use under gravel filter or sponge with no gravel, or not gravel but a type of sand?
I hatch...
I had been using the frozen brine shrimp as a treat for the fish as they seemed to like it. The babies were unexpected due to how new the tank setup is and how long I had the fish ( about 3-4weeks)
At the moment I am feeding the tank once a day like mike said but with either microworms or...
Is there a link with the dropping of ph and rising of ammonia. Or another thing I was looking at was that I didn't rinse the frozen brine shrimp I was using before feeding the fish. Therefore adding too much minerals and nutrients too fast causing the spike.
At the moment my ammonia is...
I bought these guys as wild caught juruensis.

Well the eggs are now wriggly's and dad has been given his orders and there very clear everyone other than him and his partner are not allowed anywhere near that side of the tank. The other 2 pairs of A. Trifasciata and bristlenoses are now restricted to 1 third of the tank size. Tomorrow I'm...
Thank you both Mike and Darrel that has given some tasks ahead to get ready for the arrival of the fry soon. In this tank I don't have any other species other than A. Trifasciatum but the pair is not alone. In total there is 6 A. Trifasciatum. Mike when I got these fish there was A. Trifasciatum...
I went into the fish this morning to find my trifasciatum have spawned. The pair seem to be ok with having the others in the tank at the moment but would it be advised to take the others out and also what should be fed to the babies when they hatch?
Baby brine shrimp or commercial flakes...
Hi I thought I knew a lot about apistogramma but since reading as a visitor and a bit as a member I have a lot to learn.
I have currently:
Male macmasteri
Cacatuoides group 3M 5F
'juruensis' group but I think from reading they are black lip will be posting pics for conformation...
