Apisto cacatuodes "orange flash" breeding

[john melling]

Hello everyone,

Just wondered how long I should keep my female in my breeding tank with the babies?
also if I can put the male in with them or will he be aggressive to the babies\ or kill them .

I have about 20 babies and female in a 30 litre aquarium

Cheers

John

I kept mine in a 100l tank for 2 weeks, because the female started to chase the fry. That happens with the male in the tank. If you add the male and your female is preparing for the next batch, you will need to remove the fry or the pair because your breeding tank is to small for all, no matter how much is decorated, that's what I think. If you don't want to add the male then I see no problem. You can remove the mother also, the fry will be fine alone.
