a. agassizii breeding, a second chance

[xgiralt]

Hi
Let me present you this pair of A. Agassizii I have in my tank.

The first time they spawned, a month ago, the female was stressed defending the eggs and finally ate them.
3 days ago they spawned for a second time. I left the eggs with the pair for a couple of days, and I finally removed the cave to a separate tank to try to raise the fry by myself... hopefully with better success.

It's been a bit longer than 3 days and I've seen few changes, so I thought I would ask you for some advise. My main doubts are:
- What do you think about the breedong setup?
- If nothing Happened in 3 days, bad news? or is it normal timing?
- What about the appearance of the eggs? I see a few white (fungi I guess) but mainly pink

Any advice and comments will be appreciated.

Feel free to browse my flickr account to take a look at more pictures of my tank and the tank mates

Regards

Xavi

I think you need a bit a patience. Depending on temperature, apisto eggs take 3 days to hatch. I don't see any water circulation near the eggs. That would have been helpful. Personally, I don't have much luck artificially hatch apisto eggs.

Thanks mike. I do have and air pump now, but i installed it after a day, and the picture is the first day. I'll keep an eye on them for a couple of days and post any news. Meanwhile, this kind of advices are really helpful!
