Apistogramma trifasciata spawned !!

**yaya** · 30th Mar 2007, 19:14

As above, the female spawned today. The eggs are at the back of the DW. Currently alot of faunas in my tank. I know most of you bros will advise me to take out the faunas, but really, i don't have a spare tank and also i don't feel like taking out my faunas.

The pics are blurred, sorry about that.

Wow, .. congrats to you.

**yaya** · 30th Mar 2007, 22:32

Thanks bro taygu. I really didn't expect them to spawn so fast in my tank.. just 2 weeks only..

**thwack** · 30th Mar 2007, 23:55

yaya, what is your pH level since you're using holland sand.

**yaya** · 31st Mar 2007, 10:24

Hi bro thwack, i'm using sera peat to lower the ph... ph reading should be around 6.

Any updates on the fries?

**yaya** · 6th Apr 2007, 15:54

From a egg to free swimming fry takes a week. I can see the mother is guarding her fries now. The fries are swimming around her.

Currently having alot of faunas in my 2ft tank. I think i gonna leave it like this. I hope the fries will survive.

**zeloc87** · 6th Apr 2007, 16:23

If you provide them sufficient 'hiding place' the fries would be safe eh? I'm new so pardon if i ask stupid questions

**yaya** · 6th Apr 2007, 16:43

Yup, hiding place is important for the fries to survive if the tank has other occupants.

Feed them with BBS, it will grow fast.

Dun forget to feed the rest too but remember to feed the mum first so that she will not have to come out for the food leaving the babies unguard.

Actually i will attract the other faunas to the left side by feeding them 1st then i put the bbs at the left side for the mother and the fries so that the other faunas will not come to their area to steal their food away.

**yaya** · 8th Apr 2007, 22:01

Sad news: The mother gobbled up the fries. Stupid snails invaded their area caused the mother to stress.

**wasabi8888** · 8th Apr 2007, 22:04

damn,..... that's too bad... if you can, take this opp to remove the rest of the fauna...and snails

**yaya** · 8th Apr 2007, 22:11

No i can't because this tank is for viewing pleasure.. actually if can i should setup a 1ft tank to breed them.

**wasabi8888** · 8th Apr 2007, 22:12

that's exactly what i did....

1 planter tank with various fishes inside (include male apistogrammas) and 1 breeding tank...

and recently i secretly added one small tank to breed endlers..

**yaya** · 8th Apr 2007, 22:20

i think i will setup a breeding tank for apisto soon. not now..

**wasabi8888** · 9th Apr 2007, 11:06

ya.. did not... bought the endlers and said it's for the community tank.. after reaching home, just pretend that the big fishes will eat the cute endlers... that was it...
