I am still waiting for mine to mature before I will see any breeding action. Is that a victim of aggression in that cave to the left? looks a bit tattered up.
1.....The LFS guy is a joke, like beleg said actnic or 50/50 grows algae. If you want something to highlight the blues look for a different color spectrum, everything between 3000k-10,00k grows plants pretty well with the lower spectrum being more yellow and the higher being more blue and from...
I was gonna suggest soaking the pots too beforehand to ease the hole making which I have done for other cichlids.
Right now I am using the rock caves from cichlidbreeding.com which is linked below and have had 4 spawns since introducing them.
Most fish normally turn in or rest when the lights go out.
I wouldn't feed right before turning the lights off though, it might cause digestive problems.
Maybe something has scared them.
I got a group of Golds and they spawned shortly after and now less then a month later I have three batches of eggs. I have a herd of Gold white clouds in with them and the Apisto's swim around all the time except for the ones that are watching eggs.
I would still dose ferts at 2wpg but a lot less then what I do now though. 2wpg is still mid-light, I would look into seachem excel cause regardless of what lighting you are running any plant will benefit from it.
Buy some root tabs to place in your tank and keep the fish stocked and it...
That sucks......my caca's keep pumping out eggs/fry but something keeps happening to them. Mine are juveniles though so hopefully they will soon get the hang of it.
