Tips on food source for Apisto Fries

[huhengyi1986]

Hi for those who are going to spawn their apisto and worry about the food source for their fries, i have some tips to share from my observation when i had my first batch of eunotus fries.

1) If possible, stop any aeration for your tank. if your tank or surface area is big enough oxygen will disolve in the water. i noticed if you do not have any aeration, tiny bug-like creatures(i think is water lice) will appear and it will be a good food source for your fries.

2) If possible have a few marimo moss balls. i notice the female likes to bring the fries over for stuff to eat.

3) It is ok to feed pellets. The mom will just "chew" the pellets and spit small tiny particles that the fries will feed on.

4) i try to feed them newly hatch Brime Shrimps. They love them

Experts out there do correct me if i am wrong as all the above method tips are based on my observation. If there is any thing else that should add in please do.

Thank you all for reading. Enjoy spawning!!!

Do not feed too much "dry food" or it will foil the water.

Newly hatched BBS is still the best, I feel
