Good setup for growing up fries eman. But i feel its abit too sparse if you are intending to use it for breeding.

I have a few more narrow leave java fern tied on DW, will be putting it in soon....
Thanks Eugene.

Now that the "house" is done, now is to wait for the arrival of its occupants!!

Update of the 2nd Batch of Ap. Hongsloi Fries: Surprisingly, there were a big bunch of fries, about 50, swimming out with their mom....they're taking bbs now!! very happy with this batch and will take the best care of it!! hope to get some decent pictures

Can tell that you're really dedicating lots of care and effort for this A. hongsloi fries. Maybe few months time might want to get a good pair from you.

The tank looks so neat.

Congrats on the fries.

Thanks wilson & richard....

Feeding the fries bbs twice a day, hoping they'll grow faster

I believe they belong to the slower growing species of apisto....

Some Updates:
Fries from 1st batch are about 1 month old and 1cm...5 of them survived

Fries from 2nd batch are currently with their mother....still very small, about 50plus
They seem to belong to the slower growing species of apistos..

Some pictures to share, using my "pns" camera

Eman,
They look damn cute. So tempted to get some from you when they grow up.
Any picture of the first batch?
Richard

Quite difficult to take a decent picture of the 1st batch as they are in a grow out tank which isn't very "clean" and they're camouflaged in my africana which makes it even more challenging!!

I'll try to see what I can do

nice and well fed fry!

**Cacatuoides** · 16th Oct 2007, 22:13

Yea! Its quite fun calculating the time for the next batch of bbs to harvest.....
so there will be an endless supply of bbs everyday!!
they still refuse to feed on the decap BS eggs....only the bigger fishes are ok with it
