You can tell if they’re eating BBS because their little stomachs will look orange.
BBS will live for a little while in fresh water. I’m talking an hour or two. If there are still BBS swimming in the container after an hour then you might be over feeding them.
In my opinion, they should be...
Bought some fish labeled as such back in January that turned out to be allpahuayo as detailed here —> https://apistogramma.com/forum/threads/is-this-a-juruensis.23890/

That's part of the problem. Finding someone who doesn't mind feeding live food :)
I guess the subject says it all. I have to leave for most of this weekend, but I have a 2.5 month group of GBR fry (about 50) that I'm worried about.
Both of my usual fish sitters are busy this weekend and I'm stumped to find someone that I trust to feed them. I can feed them heavily on...
