Hopefully getting a new cell phone this week so I can take some good pictures. I have two pairs of Apisto Eunotus in my 150 gallon discus tank and one pair has already spawned twice. About a dozen from the first spawn have survived on their own and the second batch has about half a dozen. I've read on this form as well as on the internet all sorts of things with these fish. I have read that males spawn with multiple females, males usually spawn with only one, only females raise the little ones, both parents raise little ones... whatever it may be, I have noticed that my pear has stayed together away from the other two fish and while the female does most of the duties raising the little ones, she somewhat permits the male to hang around and at times watch the kiddos briefly while she goes and grabs a quick bite to eat.
I may have more little ones in my tank then I realize because it is heavily planted and has tons of driftwood. Unsure if anyone ever seeks some but would definitely be interested to know. I do understand that this species varies drastically in looks. Again, I'll try to take a picture of the actual pair but I will say that both males that I have look very different. Even the females are noticeably different.
Originally I wanted Panduras but the breeder was out of them at the time. I was inpatient so I settled for the eunotus although I thought they were sort of bland from the pictures on the internet. I actually love the variety of them and really love their personality and temperament.
