Here is a few pictures of some of my c. Nattereri fry. Now, they actually looks like fish.

Wow they are taking form quickly. I really should learn to breed pencil and tetra esp my n. epesi and h. eilyos but in truth i have no clue where to begin.

Hi all,

Wow they are taking form quickly.

They look really good.

I really should learn to breed pencil and tetra esp my n. epesi

I think N. espei are quite tricky, which is why you very rarely see them for sale, but we have a thread. Ste Chester is definitely a 'man who can" - <"https://apistogramma.com/forum/threads/breeding-pencil-fish.11045/post-59433">. The Alan he mentions was the late Alan Vassiere, a famous UK aquarist

and h. eilyos

I'd expect plenty of live food to condition them, and then some way of stopping the spawning fish eating the eggs (and probably) fry. Access to some sunlight in the morning may also help.

but in truth i have no clue where to begin.

I was going to say a male and a female? But I realise that probably isn't very helpful.
