    Gold tetra conundrum

    I still have this Nannostomus; I should probably have a closer look at it again!

    Breeding splash tetras....

    Looks good. I've had mixed luck with raising fry in this genus. Sometimes I'll have loads and then they'll die off, other times I'll have loads and they'll be fine. Sometimes I just have a few fry, or find them in the parents' tank amongst floating plants. The best luck I had with C. arnoldi...

    Breeding splash tetras....

    They look completely fine. They're colourless and can be very difficult to spot if there's only a few. 24-72 hours in a tub and you should have wrigglers. You'll need to feed infusoria/paramecium for a while before they're big enough to eat BBS. Some will probably fungus, but I wouldn't worry...

    Breeding splash tetras....

    I haven't seen mine spawn again since just after I got them. Think I need to re-vamp the tank a little to go with your re-vamped thread.

    Gold tetra conundrum

    I have to buy it now then!

    Gold tetra conundrum

    There's also quite a distinct white line extending into the caudal fin which is not present in anduzei.

    Gold tetra conundrum

    I will have a look again tomorrow. If it's anduzei I will be able to tell by the dorsal fin as it's quite distinctive compared to others in the genus. I think it's a bit big to be anduzei though and looks the wrong shape, but won't be able to tell until I have a look tomorrow. I've kept anduzei...

    Not great photos.

    Gold tetra conundrum

    I'm not sure. I feel like it's too stocky and resembles one of the marginatus types. I probably need to go and buy it. May have a look for a suitable tank now.

    Gold tetra conundrum

    I have also seen a P. simulans in the same shop with the gold colouring. There may have actually been a few in the group, but don't remember properly. Here's a vid of the pencil.

    Gold tetra conundrum

    Just to add to this thred, I have just seen what appears to be a Nannostomus marginatus with the gold colouration.

    Copella (?) id?

    I have now just found some infertile eggs on a leaf. Interestingly it's the smaller of the males that has defended the territory and managed to spawn. There's currently a lot of jostling between two males for the attention of a big female.

    Copella Nattereri

    Marinho's C. nattereri is the one with 4 - 5 rows of red dots along the whole body. According to Zarske, this would be either C. callolepis or C. meinkeni. After a quick look on tgeir website it is indeed C. nattereri sensu Marinho.

    Copella (?) id?

    Thread 'Copella and A. panduro territorial dispute' https://www.apistogramma.com/forum/threads/copella-and-a-panduro-territorial-dispute.18778/ One of my threads from when I first got them.

    Copella (?) id?

    It could be one of my threads. I have one on here from when I bred them. Tom gave me the technique with the floating plant pot trays with notches cut in.

    Copella (?) id?

    Yes, mine have spawned on Catappa and oak leaves that have been in the process of sinking. They almost always used to be spawning very close to the surface, however, they seem to stay lower down in this tank which is why I have tried this new contraption.

    Copella (?) id?

    Have set this up in the tank today to see if I get any luck with a spawning.
