Apisto chat/LFS watchlist & etc

That's right. My young wilhelmi female ate her 1st two spawns. Now guarding wrigglers from her 3rd spawn. All in less than 3 weeks in the tank! Hope this batch will be ok.

I prefer to leave the fries with the parents & take my chances. So far, experienced complete wipeout of Hoingnei, Hongsloi, Wilhelmi & L. Dorsigera but, second time around, much much better. From my experience, if you interfere too early, the fries will be too weak to survive.

will it be good to do water change when the fries are free swimming?

hi bro Venom. from my humble experience, it is best to have minimal disturbance. Despite what some books say, fromn my experience, apistos can tolerate a long time (2 mths) without water change.

From what I can see, yr tank has plants. Usually, if a tank replicates nature (by accident or design) & if you minimize disturbance, bioload (including overfeeding), the fish should be just fine.

i see. i yet to feed the fries with food.. especially my hongsloi fries..
how i know when to feed?

[EdwinTay]

yr Hongsloi already 2 weeks - feed them.....

Once their egg sacs disappear, you should feed them. If you cannot tell, just watch how the fries swim. Once they swim like a normal fish, that means that the egg sacs are gone.

yes bro.
my hongsloi fries start to swim up and down.
as i see they are still quite small.
i am thinking is my tank have enough mirco food for the fries?

Bro venom, you could just crush the sinking pellets to fine powder, let it sink. If the mother is there, it will actually bring the free swimming fries to feed at the spot. You could notice if the fries have eaten or not based on the colour of their tummy, especially so if the food is orangy/ reddish in colour. After feeding, their tummy will be a bit orangy/ reddish.

Water change I do it once every 3 days ~1.5L per change for a 1ft cube tank. As mentioned, try not to remove the mother. Usually will only removed when the fries and swimming all over the tank.

thanks for the advice bro.
currently i fed my female with pellets and do saw some crushed food came out from the gills.. maybe the fries will benefit from there?
i had remove the hongsloi male due to too afraid of the female after laying eggs.. now the tank only have female and fries..

[raymond]

Same here.

[venom]

Same here.

[raymond]

Nope. Just feed the crushed pellet.

[venom]

Nope. Just feed the crushed pellet.

But you do the "Act" in front of them to induce them to breed right.
