    Unexpected fry from A. agassizii

    As stated in the title my A. Agassizii pair spawned a little earlier than planned. At the moment the only tank I have to move anything to is a 10 gallon. I'm wondering if my best course of action is to move the male and female out of their 20 gallon when the fry mature a little? So far there's...

    Is this fry sick? Gill looks puffy

    Hi Community, Wondering if one of my apisto fry is sick? This little apisto trifasciata juvie has been sitting in her hair algae “house” all day. (I think it’s a she?) Her gills seem swollen - or sticking out’ish - and breathing a little fast? Haven’t seen her eat today. Does the inside of her...

    My first potential spawn

    Hello all, my pair of a. hongsloi that I posted for sexing seem to have spawned, my female has been guarding her cave and keeping the pencil fish from getting close for the past 2 days.

    Hi, I have an aquarium with a pair of Apistograma Cacatuoides and 10 neon fish. One day I noticed that the female was raising 5 fry. Then every day a fry disappeared, finally only one remained and it seemed to develop and grow, but after a few days it also disappeared. My questions are...

    How do these 3 month old Macmasteri Redneck look?

    These were born on November 2nd, 2021. They're basically exactly 3 months old. There's currently about 30 in a 20 long. I do multiple feedings a day along with daily 25% water changes. This is my first time breeding macmasteri. Do they look good for their age? They range from about 1.75-2.25 cm.

    I always get excited when I see new fry! These are Apistogramma Agassizii This spawn is from a new mum and I used a different cave to the style I used previously with another pair.

    Dicrossus filamentosus fry care and death

    Hi, After years of unsuccessful eggs from several pairs of Dicrossus filamentosus, this last batch of eggs managed to hatch. I suppose using distilled instead of RO water or using peat moss and alder cones instead of catappa leaves did the trick. But after 2-3 days of their hatching, most of...

    Borelli fry dying

    Hi guys, I've had a batch of (at the start) about 25 Borelli fry (20 now). They are from 2 batches (1 & 1.5 mths) that I received from a friend a fortnight ago. They are housed in a 10-gallon tank that has some hornwort, a strong sponge filter with ADA Amazonia soil as a substrate. About weekly...

    Fry meal plan!

    Hi Experts, I have Apistogramma Agassizii fry which are about 3 weeks old. Initially I was feeding micro worms for say the first week, then a mix of micro worms and BBS, and now predominantly BBS twice a day. I'm wondering: 1) what is best to feed them at this age? 2) and is there an...

    Accidents Happen - The Cacatuoides Spawn

    The pair of young Cacs I'd set up a few weeks ago have decided to bring out some fry to show me. Though a few months ahead of my schedule, exciting nonetheless. I should know by now, that not much goes exactly to plan in this hobby. At a guess there's 20-30 free-swimming fry in a 15G dirted...
