A pleasant surprise. Sorry for lousy pictures.

Mom looking sharp... Small brood size from the young couple, only less than 20...


Relax fellas, she's got our backs covered...


Dad...


Looking bored now that he is being neglected by Mom...


Hope there won't be too many casualties...

[illumnae]

congrats clinton! a lovely surprise indeed

the parents look beautiful, hope the fry grow up as pretty!

[exotic_idiot]

Congratulations~~~!!! Don't worry your fries are not as little as mine...
Heheheee Good luck in raising them.

[doppelbanddwarf]

Beautiful fish. Good luck with the fries.

[Zenislev]

So roughly how many fries are there this time?

[iwishweallcouldwin]

Thanks guys for your kind comments! Faithfully feeding them bbs daily, keeping my fingers crossed!

[exotic_idiot]

If you need any microworms let me know

[iwishweallcouldwin]

Haha yes i did consider getting a microworm culture, but thoughts of my mom's worm-clearing acts made me think twice.

Fries are currently growing healthily with nice bbs-filled tummies. After a while of getting used to, hatching bbs isn't that troublesome anymore.

everytime i see threads like this, of beautiful fish raising fry, i get tempted to start breeding apistos again...then i remember i got no space/time for more tanks, sigh and move on

all the best in raising this brood clinton!

[blue33]

Congratulations Clinton! Healthy fries you got there. Wish i know how to keep Apisto and have space for that. Nice meeting you! Hope you like the ADA wood!

Yi Xiang, in the words of the one who infected me with the apisto disease:

"Apisto tanks are too easy to setup! All you need is substrate, wood, sponge filters, and some moss! you don't even need a big tank! Low maintenance!!"



Adrian, thanks for your wood! its currently the prized possession of one of my leopard frogs

As for apisto keeping, sell your lonely red line torpedo and convert the tank!!!

[blue33]

Oh gosh you keep leopard frogs? I just list my fish on sale on the markeplace, including the redline torpedo. I want to decommision my old tank and setup another one, maybe with Apisto. Hope to learn from you guys on Apisto.

[iwishweallcouldwin]

Leopard frogs as in L134s!

[blue33]

Hahaha! Know nuts about pleco!

[illumnae]

blue33, awaiting your initiation into the apisto hobby

clinton, got tanks for pairs...no tanks for fry! haha, as you would know i'm back into the hobby keeping bitaeniata

i'm just trying not to breed them by making the tanks more conducive for my viewing and less conducive for their breeding

[blue33]

Let me see i can sell away my fish first!
