i need help. my apistogramma agassizii eggs should be hatching in a couple of days and i dont really know how to take care of them. i have no experience in breeding in any kind of fish. so i tried breeding A. agassizii and actually got them to mate! my tank set up is a 10 gallon tank with some brown gravel, java moss, 1 driftwood, anibias plant, oak leaves (took out already), 1 pot caves, regular 10 gallon filter, and a power head but now in use. water conditions are: pH = 6.0-6.2, hardness = 5-10, temp = 84 F. the female was fighting the male after they got done mating, after a while the female lost the fight then male kept chasing her around so i took out the male. the only fishs in the tank right now is the female and the eggs. here are some questions i need help with:
1. what do i feed the babies?
2. i can just leave the female with the babies till their full grown, right? do i seperat them or is there a certain time to seperate them?
3. do i need to switch the filter out for a sponge filter? should i do it now?
4. how ofter should i change the water after adding the sponge filter?
5. should i just keep the water conditions same as it is now or is there better conditions that i should change to?
please give me anyother advise i need to know. thankyou!
