Hello,
For the most part I have had success raising all the apistos I breed... However, these double red agassizii seem to be a pain.
They always eat their eggs so I have to artificially hatch them, and I found that their eggs fungused easily. Using fungus cure and darkening the tank, I end up with 0 fungus.
So anyway I had a batch of about 25 fry in a 10 gallon tank where they have been eating and living happily for about a month. They have a box filter and a heater set to about 78 or 80F. I did a 50% water change about 3 days ago and they seemed fine after. The water I changed wtih by the time I got to their tank was a bit cold. However, they were swimming around and eating the next two days without problem. This morning I went to feed my fish and found like half of hte fry dead or half dead.
Any ideas???? Immediately I thought it was the water change. but I did that on saturday and they died this morning!
