Good looking A.bitaeniata.
Good and proper finnage and color.
Was wondering why you name it as A.bitaeniata only? No known locality during the purchase??
He looks like the A.bitaeniata "Tefe" morph..

It's apisto bitaeniata "tefe". Getting old, very forgetful nowadays.

So it's a wild caught or a tank raised??

**mobile2007** · 9th Jun 2014, 18:15

This pair was from AC, should be farm-bred.

Anyway, taken another video for the 5 days old frys, feeding on bbs.

How's it going with the fry?

**mobile2007** · 14th Jul 2014, 12:00

Ok. I sold the first batch of frys ( but only got 12 ). Still raising my second batch of frys.

Wow, amazing stuff

**pym** · 15th Jul 2014, 20:12

Fantastic! Your apistos must be very happy where they are. If you've ever raised ram fry, how would you compare the ease of raising those compared with the apisto fry?

**mobile2007** · 15th Jul 2014, 20:27

Not so bad . Just that my tank setup very dull and low light, can't really appreciate the beauty much.

I never ever raised any ram fry before, but i think they are more or less the same. The hardiest most probably trying to get the ram pairing up.

Apisto frys are raised by female.

Bonded ram pairs are good parents, new ram pairs cannot be trusted

But I rather raise them artifically. To increase the frys survival rate.

Just to follow through my bitaeniata log,

2 months old bitaeniata juveniles feeding,

**mobile2007** · 23rd Dec 2014, 21:36

Grow up to 6 months+ old bitaeniata adult,

This batch of fries seems to skew towards high female ratio. I was surprised to find this female hiding behind the java fern had mated with the male before he was sold.

Anyway, i took a closeup video on this female caring its brood of frys.
