Gerald- Don't I know it. We have about 9 acers of land, all feilds. Theres plenty of poisen ivy,wild blackberries, chiggers,spiders,mosquitos, you name it. I know where theres a bucket outside that has some mosquito larvae, so I will go net some up today and feed.
Thankyou to everyone! I...
Thankyou for the advice. I've never had ditherfish because I feared theyd be a threat to the fry. Will they not be a threat? What is a good subsitute for pencil fish if I can't find them? What kinds of live food? I have brine shrimp eggs if I can feed adults older brine shrimp. I feed fry...
Its been awhile since Ive been on here....but I have returned to get some insight.
Ive kept apistos for a few years now, and theyve bred without me really doing much.
About two months ago I purchased a lovely pair of apistogramma agassizii red flash( might not be the right name) with the...
For Gerald,
shows the stages of the change side by side so you can see them
i know they don't look like the same fish, but I assure you they are.
Fry are not free swimming yet, but their eggs sacks are almost gone, so I'm guessing tomorrows the day(: So excited to see them swim for...
And they are currently hatching as i type this! i took pics prior to hatching of the eggs and counted about 100, slightly over. will post pics of fry tomorrow. now i know its a sex change. awesome.
Update: Eggs are still good. No white ones. They have turned pinkish-orangeish in color. Pretty sure these are good eggs. I'm think I have a sex change....Really excited for fry :D
Well I moved her and her eggs. It took her awhile to find them again, but she found them and calmed down a bit....male is wondering where she is now.. hate doing this. ;)
eggs actually look a little white, but I remember her last batch and i thought, wow those are kinda white...looks like...
I GOT EGGS!!!! While I was at school today, they spawned and came home to find atleast 100 eggs...there are a ton. I will be moving the mom and eggs right away as there are snails in the tank, and I have countless accidents where the snails ate the eggs, and I am NOT losing these. If they are...
The snails could possibly be the reason your not seeing eggs. I have lost many spawns because of those dang snails...
What kind of behavior have you noticed from the pairs?
Will have to check that out. I know for sure this fish was not a sneaker male. It was my very first of six females to have fry, and I removed her and her babies to a seperate tank, as well with the second spawned female. Then the five females who were left, went to LFS. I could always tell...
ADC Nederland, Interesting. But heres the thing, that not what happened for me. This was a proven female. She has had two batches of fry. My male is still alive....
cichlidmac, I don't know if it's normal, but I've had several cases with it. Some of which picked back up in a couple of months of nothing. Maybe try changing the water parameters to induce spawning? Also post a few more pics of your pair, so we can get this figured out! Or consider buying...
