My male Apistogramma Bitaeniata died last night & I'm terribly sad about that. He must have made one last valiant effort, because tonight when I got home from work, Mrs Bitaeniata brought out her free swimming fry.
This is her 2nd try. Last time, she lost her final remaining fry at 23 or 24 days.
It is really important to me that these fry have the best chance of survival, doubly so as it seems that my enquries today are that I probably will not be able to source a replacement male in Sydney Australia.
The only fish in the tank, other than mum & fry, are 2 otos. I think otos are strictly vegetarian, but someone told me they might eat the fry?
I'd really value knowing if anyone thinks I should:-
1. remove the otos
2. put the fry in a breeding net (but it would be still in the same tank)
3. Leave them with mum
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
