My female A. panduro has fry at approx 3.5 weeks of age. The last couple of days she has been returning to the leaf "cave" in which she first layed. The young from the first brood have spread out randommly and only seen 2-3 today (there were around 9 a few days ago!), but then there is a lot of leaf litter and they are perfactly camoflaged. Whenever the male goes near the female she does the belly show to the male rather frantically and often returns to the "cave". She doesn't seem to bother the 3 and a half week old fry, but she's no longer hearding them along. They seem to just be residing within the half of the tank that is the Apisto territory.
So, as this is the longest I've ever reared apisto fry for, can anyone advise as to whether the female has probably spawned again and if so how she's likely to react to the fry?
