I have apistogramma baenschi and they did exactly the same thing. I eventually put some lampeyes since they like to swim near the surface. The baenschi became less shy, but only less shy. They like to hang out near cover.
The male is probably close to 3 inches. I just checked water parameters. Ph is 6.0, 56 ppm. I moved the pot to a back corner and bumped the temp to 82F. I will keep my fingers crossed.
I'm not sure how old they are, but they are full adult size. The pair are in a 10g tank with fine sand. The tank has a small foam filter, wood, rocks, a couple plastic tubes, pot, and plenty of oak leaves. The water is 78F, ph around 6.3, and 80 ppm.
She has been laying eggs on the roof of a small pot. The pot is quite exposed in the middle of the tank. I may move the pot to a remote corner and add additional leaves or java moss to reduce the openness.
I have a pair that has spawned three times only to result in the female eating the eggs within a day or two. Does anyone have any suggestions to prevent this?
Hello All,
I have successfully bred Apisto Baenschi INKA 50. However all my apistos have washed out coloring. Any thoughts as to what is causing this?
Thanks
