    For those interested, there's a nice pair of borelli opal at Y618. Nice red and blue markings on the face on the male and a healthy plump female at an affordable price too.

    Re: Your Favourite Apistogramma!

    Hi guys.

    I chanced upon this fascinating thread at apistogramma.com.

    http://www.apistogramma.com/forum/in...tus-fry.12365/

    I've been Dying to post this here where somebody might get a kick out of this.
    Here's the short story. I set up this 40 l for my 4 adoketa at my store to try to get a pair out of them. After a short while the tank also housed a few other residents for show. I have a 125 in the window with some Prolific Vieja Zonatus who've hatched about 500 fry. Since I'm already raising 250 of them from the last month I decide to start feeding the fry to my store fish. Enter Adoketa! I dumped 30 or so fry in the tank- the fish went crazy. A. Cacatuoid was eating 2 at a time Adoketa momma tried one, spit it out immediately, rushed the other fish eating them and rounded up the other fry and claimed them as her own. It's now a week later and she still has 17 of the fry and her mate also cares for them. She Mouth cleans them, chews up food and spits it at them and guides them around the tank for feeding.

    These fry (if you don't know zieja zonatus) will grow 30 times her size.. lol. On the bright side, maybe caring for these babies will inspire her to actually make some of her own after I take them away- I just can't do it yet- It's too cool to watch.
    HEre are some videos you might enjoy.



    In the last one you can see the cacatuoid munching fry and the blacklightning movements of the adoketa

    Thanks for sharing the links Marle. Did not expect the caca male to chow down on the fry so happily.

    @barmby, the videos were taken at an LFS overseas. They are not marle's videos but from the user Aquatopia on the forum link given.
