Tips for setting up a Steel blue Apistogrammas fry tank.

[KellyandDennisfish]

Hi,
We going to pull our Steel blue Apistogrammas fry this weekend.
We are going to put them in a 10.
Any tip for what we should put in the tank?
ie- plants, driftwood.

I have a sponge filter that has been running in the parents tank
that I'm going to use for the fry tank.

Thanks
Kelly and Dennis

Personally, a 'grow-out' tank should have nothing in it that is organic except the fish. This lowers the chance of polution in the tank & makes keeping it clean much easier. If you have to have hiding places, use some small short lengths of PVC pipe. These are easy to remove & sterilize if necessary.
