Hello there!
Some time ago I've started my adventure with apistogramma. Lately because of problems in my main tank I lost two females
Because of COVID and all that stuff there is a big problem of getting new fishes, thus I decided do bread them.
Because I have one one female now I tried to breed her with less aggressive male. It turned out to be a success and I have a bunch of around 24 young fry.
I was very happy until I noticed that some of the fishes started to have quite long very thin white poo. It is from time to time little wider but generally it looks more or less like a rope of sausages ;/
The tank is 24 liters (6 gallons). Plenty of floating plants mostly Pistia and others...
Filtration done with small air filter.
Water change every day around 5 liters (RO water + Seachem Equlibrium and Acid/Alkaline buffer). GH and KH and same level around 3d*
What I feed them is mostly live brine shrimp that I prepare myself, micro worms and infusoria (just a little as I have no luck with the culture I have).
Mother apisto is still with them - she has no signs of any problems.
