Apistogramma Barlowi Spawn

[John]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post with a couple of pictures of my wild pair of Apistogramma Barlowi which have spawned in the last week. ( Total of 9 fry which is probably around normal for a first spawn, but I'd hope for this to grow next time )

This is my first time keeping this particular species, I've wanted them for a long time and am very happy to have bred them in a short time ( I've had them for around a month )

I've bred loads of Apistos but these guys go down as my favourite s far Next on my list would be the Kelleri.

The pair are in a tank with the PH set at 5.3, temperature is 27 degrees, sand substrate with alder cones, driftwood and coconut caves, with a small amount of oak extract used.







Thanks John

Very nice! When I was keeping this species I never have a spawn larger than 12, but my females were not very large.

Very nice. My Barlowi had frys on april 19th an now i have between 20 and 30 frys now, at least. Its the second time they had eggs. First time it was only 14 eggs, and only for few days, then they was gone. Now she had more than 50 eggs!!! Hope this will go good for my frys this time.

In Norway this apisto is hard to find, but was lucky to bump into TomC. I have also a pair of Sp "Oregon" that "gave" me eggs two days ago. Also for the second time. Same happend with this eggs. Wish you good luck, and sorry about my English
