    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...

    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.

    Another batch of fry..

    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...

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...

    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...
