Hello all would like alittle advice my panduros just had second spawn first were eaten I think by parents after 2days. Would it be OK to put fry in a fry holder that floats in tank after a couple of days or is that to soon. Thanks walt

Same with my Panduros. The female allows the male into the cave & just looks on while he snacks on the eggs. Should I remove he male after spawning or use a cave with a smaller entrance? They're a young pair & probably inexperienced, but this has happened 2 consecutive times.

Thanks; since the female is used to spawning in the pot I'll block off most of the entrance with a piece of shale. I was very surprised that the female let the male anywhere near the eggs.

Hi I didn’t know if you still have any of the Apistogramma Cuipeua?
Would be interested if so.
