    Here's the fry at seven weeks. I have separated them from mom and moved them to a 10 gallon with daily water changes. They are all going to new homes soon. They are around an inch give or take and except for a few really small ones they are fairly uniform in size. Hope they are on tract growth wise.

    Thanks Darrel and yes, they are in a QT which is only a 10 gallon. Yes, I know it is too small for long term care. I would place sand in it but really hard to clean well. I may consider a very light layer however. Pat

    Thanks macmasteri, remember food is important but so is water changes. Fry need clean water to grow. I am feeding live BBS and finely ground freeze dried black worms. Pat

    Hi Chris, I feed the fry about two or three times a day. I'm careful about not overfeeding. The fry are with mom in a 50 gallon which is half full. The male is in a different tank as I do not want the pair spawning at this time. I also do a couple 50% water changes a week. When I raised fry when...

    Thanks Mike :) I would have not issue with continuing the live BBS as I am making it for my baby altums. In another three weeks or so these guys will be ready to go to new homes and I rather these guys are eating something beside BBS. Pat

    Have a question for you guys. The fry are becoming independent and I still have then on live BBS. They are about 1/2 inch now. What should they be transitioned too food wise. I can start them on a little crushed flake but I would like more food options at this stage.

    Moving the entire family to a much larger tank with a bit of sand and wood. Moved the male first, then the female and added the fry close to the female since she is their focal point. As soon as I added the female this happened. I will be removing the male today so can focus on growing out...

    Thanks Mike, I do have a male which was sold under the "Alenquer" label which is a bit different then the male of this pair. I bought the Alenquer pair a while ago and lost the female in the overflow. This is him below. I do suspect that there could be local variations in the fish.

    Apistogramma agassizi Cuipeua Spawn

    Hi Mike, Yes I know that. I labelled them under the name they were sold under, but remember that the Alenquer region is a good sized area. I know that there are local variation in the wild discus. I have personally keep Trombeta, Cuipeua, Curai and Pacoval wild discus. Not sure if there are...
