Hi all,
I'm new here and new to Apistos in general. I have recently become the proud owner of a pair of Apistogramma Panduro and am loving the little guys. They have settled into the tank very quickly and made themselves at home, immediately forming a pair bond and spawning in a freshly dug out cave.
As I understand it, I am very lucky in the fact that A. I have managed to get a compatible pair out of a group of around 50 fairly juvenile fish at the store, and B. that they have successfully spawned and hatched fry that are now free swimming! First try! I am feeding twice a day with a mix of hikari first bites, hikari tropical granules and frozen artemia. I look forward to watching the parents raise these little guys and watching the fry grow. Should I leave the fry alone with the parents? How long for? Should I wait until they are say 10mm then move them to a separate tank to grow out? So many questions. I didn't expect this to happen so soon haha.
Happy fish keeping,
Justin.
