Practicing my photography skill.

I separated the 10 days old fries to the 1ft tank. Quite a few couldn't make it and left around 15 of them.

The growth rate of the fries are not even, some of them are still quite small and some already more than 7cm. Not sure those bigger ones are going to be male?

I think my caca spawned again as i noticed the female hiding inside the clay lamp and the male fish went inside for quite sometimes.

Congrats on your fries! Now it'll be the difficult part. To raise them up. Have fun with keeping apisto.

Nice photo. Keep us update with photos when the fries are older.
Nice to know that your cacas are spawning again. You are very lucky to have a pair of very productive apistos.

be sure to soak the eggs before you feed them though to ensure that they won't expand in the stomach of the fry and cause them indigestion.

just curious what is decapsulated egg?? is it from the brine shrimp egg then you just soak it ?

hi taring77,

Decapsulated eggs is brine shrimp eggs with external shells removed chemically. It's different from bbs eggs.

I got those Pseudepiplatys annulatus from biotope.

**taring77** · 5th Feb 2008, 11:17

thank you for your information, do you know where to purchase the decapsulated eggs ?

**mobile2007** · 5th Feb 2008, 21:26
