Thanks for the temperature range.
The eunotus eggs are starting to hatch already (about 6 so far) which seems a bit fast (36 hours or so). My other cichlid eggs usually took about 3-4 days to hatch. How long will they stay as wigglers? I'll be traveling until monday night or Tuesday and won't...
Well, I snitched her eggs and replaced the cave with another pot. Looks like she laid a little over 70 eggs though a few were eaten or removed by something, leaving about 67 left. I've got them in a 2.5g tank at 80F. Hopefully I will get 50-50 or more females than males. Which way should I set...
Yes there are several predatory fish in the tank. Other apistos, and 2 rainbows. I've tried raising kribs in a similar situation and while the parents ferociously tried to defend their young many were eaten. The remaining fry died of starvation despite me pipetting brine shrimp into the fry...
The eunotus spawned again in a small clay pot. I'll probably remove the eggs in another day and a half and raise them in a 2.5g tank.
The baby eunotus from my first batch is growing well and is about half an inch long now. Looks like a female since it has a black stripe under its eye, but I am...
The A. ermnopyge look like they have spawned. I keep seeing the female ducking into her pot and looking at the roof while the male guards the outer perimeter. They are both chasing off the other apistos and corycats from near their cave.
I turned my CO2 up quite a bit in the last two weeks, so...
Well, I felt bad that a few of my apistos were being stored in a 5g temporary tank while I figured out a permanent home for them. Unfortunately that hasn't happened. I moved them into my 90g tank because the 5g is way too cramped, but now there are just too many of them in my 90g tank and the...
The fry were in a sterile tank which is why I had to take them with.
I went home for x-mas and used a car charger to heat the tank and run the filter during the 4 hour drive. I got home and the remaining babies looked good. I plugged them all in and went to sleep. The next morning I checked...
I lost a few babies since I had to drive 400 miles each way to an interview over the last few days. I brought the fish with me and my brine shrimp hatchery to feed them, but it seems that a temperature drop to 60F for a few hours on the way there was enough to kill about 12 of the 23 that...
Thanks.
Hmm, well I removed some of the dust and a root from the picture. Unfortunately it isn't perfectly in focus, but ahh well I can take others later and I only spent a minute taking the pic.
The eggs have hatched and I've got 23 wrigglers. Raised the temp to 75 F (it was at 71). I wonder...
I wanted to give you an update on my fish. I have a pair of A. cf. eunotus that has just spawned for the first time. The eggs are redder than other cichlids eggs I've seen, but about half seem fertile (23 eggs). I have them in a 2.5g tank at 21.6 F right now (71F). Here are the mother and...
Hmm... Thanks for the suggestions.
I can't cut the KH and GH in my 90g tank since I do not have an RO system set up in this apartment. I've got a good one at my parent's house but that is 4+ hrs drive away.
I could move a pair (or more?) to a small 2.5 or 5.5 gallon tank where I could use...
I'll try sort them out then, can't promise I won't need your help on a few of them though :)
My water parameters are:
| Sample | K | Ca | Mg | Na | TIC | TOC |Gen. Hard. (dGH) | CO3 Hard. (dKH)|
| MT Apt Tap 10/8/13 | 6.7| 58.8| 19.3| 48.0| 22.6| 2.5| 226 (12.7 dGH) |...
Thank you for your quick reply.
I think you are exactly right with the eunotus ID. I looked up other pictures and it looks like the fish I have.
Some of the fish are still juveniles, how can I separate them out? Can I post pictures of each fish I have here and have you tell me what sex/what...
Unfortunately I bought 2 species of apisto at the auction and accidentally mixed them in the same bucket when I brought them home - d'oh! I need someone to help me identify what I have.
One species has red or orange edges to its tail and the other species does not. I have roughly 15 fish that...
