My first pair of Apistos: Apistogramma Borelli

Looks very healthy eggs to me. It will take 7~8 days for the eggs to hatch into free swimming fries. By then, you will see the mama bringing the fries out for tour. So, Get ready fries food. First 2 days no need to feed.

Usually i will also take out the male and let the female babysit the fries.

Yay! That's good to hear I think I'll prepare a breeding box or somehow separate the male. Cos this tank has the most stable parameters and I wouldn't wanna lose my male in the process>< The male does a good job with chasing away the SAE from the eggs though.

What kind of fry food is good? I've never bred any form of egg laying fishes before so I'm not very sure. Only had guppy babies.

Thanks a ton!

The best is live baby brine shrimp , or frozen baby brine shrimp , or Ocean nutrition instant br8ne shrimp. Alternative, decapsulated bbs eggs, boon, or crushed pellets...

The thing is, im going for a holiday from the 7th to the 17th. Would they be okay with their mother? I'll put in an auto feeder but I'll prolly only be able to put in hikari pellets. Im kinda worried about this trip for all of my fishes actually. Any advice for that? T^T

Best if you can ask some other people to feed or take care for you.

@mobile2007: I don't have any relatives in SG and my friends are all going overseas as well.

@kck: I heard those foul the water parameters though?

Why not dump a lot of moss in there. Hopefully they can find something to eat on the moss

[SeleneXD]

Yeapp! I'm trying to find some moss and some hornwort to keep nitrate levels low (:

Back with more photos! From the looks of it, they're close to hatching right? (zoomed in to see black markings on eggs)
