Newly acquired from apistoworldhk. Pardon me for the lousy picture and awkful mirror.
Nice one you got there bro!

Growing old with this forum.. :)

tonicwater, nothing compared to your collection.
illumnae, come back come back~~~
marle, am using africana soil. Water treated with peat and adding in some ketapang leave.
Not too sure how big then the apisto. elizabethae considered as adult and how much further the finnage will developed. It appeared to me that it is still very small size and skinny.
my elizabethae was approaching 3 inches and the finnage was still getting nicer. i'm already back. HOwever, my apistos are mostly in comm tanks. I only have a 1ft cube in office for a dedicated apisto tank. Currently housing a pair of Ap. diplotaenia "Novo Iron/Novo Airao". Considering selling them off to change to Ap. diplotaenia "Barcelos" (redder I think) or Ap. elizabethae or T. candidi
Which locality your previous elizabethae came from? the pair that i got was farm bred and more like a generic version of ap.elizabethae.
Currently pumping them with the adult brine shrimp that i raised myself.
mine was a "german grade" from biotope
i need to get round to posting a WTS for my current diplos before considering anything else

Haha... my elizabethae has spawned. Saw 2 very weak fries resting on the java fern at the back corner of the tank. Strange that the female wasn't that yellowish in color.
Don't see many fries showing and seems to be weak, think most of them might not be able to make it this round.

At least yours produced fries at the first try yeah? I'm sure they'll do it again!
-clint- ~apisto keepers unite!~
Yup, i knew that usually the first spawn will be few fries or weak fries.
The free swimming fries started to fall out of the java fern hideout 1 or 2 at the same time, the female very busy doing the transfer to another safe location. Now i can see more than 10 fries, definately more than what i observed earlier.
But she chose a location very open wow.the sparkling gourami might sneak in and take a quick snack.

Remove those dithers? What about the male? Protective?

I got only 1 gourami and 1 otto inside this 2 ft tank. From what i see, the female is quite fierce and capable of guarding the fries.
Funny the female doesn't turn yellowish.
