Hi to all,
I've just registered myself as a member on this forum and though it might be easier to break the ice by sharing the following...
--------------------------------------------------------------
Male = A. agassizzi 'Tefe' (farm bred)
Female = A. agassizzi 'Tefe' (farm bred)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tank = 60 x 30 x 45 (1 of 2 partitions)
Filter = Atman internal filter (the smallest I can find) + rainbar
Flora = Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov', 'spikey' moss
--------------------------------------------------------------
. Mon 28/Apr/2008 > Spawned (eggs observed)
. Tue 29/Apr/2008 > Separated male (aggression-related injuries)
. Fri 02/May/2008 > Hatched (aka Day 0)
. Mon 05/May/2008 > Free swimming
--------------------------------------------------------------
[Day 5]
. 2 days after free swimming
. Counted 15+ fries
* Note* This is their first spawn and the female was very young (< 1inch) when it happened
[Day 10]
[Day 15]
. Counted 9 fries
[Day 20]
. Lateral band is starting to show
[Day 24]
. Female separated from fries as she begins to 'court' the male on the other side of the partition
. Still 9 fries (I think)
. Lateral band is well defined
. Total length now exceeds 10mm
... TO BE CONTINUED :wink:
