    Artificial hatching with white eggs

    Thanks a lot! Your reply is quite informative. I will try as you suggested next time. My hatching box has small grid at base of it, not so obviously in the photo, so the water can exchange. Do you have any photo of your artificial hatching equipment?

I was so exciting and fed them newly hatched brine shrimp. However I was so disappointing that the fry...

    hiding coconut cave

    i find that apistogramma tend to hide their cave with sand for the security when they lay eggs, but doing this also stop water flow into the cave, so the eggs have less oxygen, why apistogramma do these things?
