As a novice fishkeeper( only have a 2ft planted over a year ), I was amazed and overjoyed to discover a baby fish in my tank about 2 weeks ago. I have some golden and three lined pencils, cardinals. Used to have a pair of Apisto agasizzi but male died a month ago. My problem now is I don't what sp is the small fish. It sure looks like a small golden pencil white stripe black below along the body. Body getting rounder. However on close inspection, it has a lance like tail like a aga? The fish is about slightly over an cm long. Hope some experts can give me some ideas. A couple of questions also :
1) When can we start seeing lance like tail on baby apisto?
2) If apisto how come mummy not taking care of it?
3) Can it be a hybrid? Pencil and apisto?
4) In either case, must I do anything to take care of it?
Actually, can just wait it out and find out but the curiosity is killing me.
One day it looks like pencil the next aga and I cannot stare at the tank any more often without incurring the wrath of my wife ha ha ha.
