It was a LFS.Not sure where they got them if it was a supplier or local breeder.They dont usually carry apistos so I was surprised to see them.I thnk they were $9 each and I got the only male left plus two females.He ignored the second female so I returned her and just kept the pair.I may try to...
Sold as Agassizii double red which I am fairly certain he isnt.Was thinking possibly Tefe due to the tail markings?He and his female have bred sucessfully but they are in a heavily planted 40 breeder with tetras and dorsigera so I dont have much hope for fry surviving.
So they did indeed eat the eggs after I took a peek the end of last week.I got home today and there is a new cave under some driftwood....and the male is aggressively defending it from the female again.I am still quite confused.I guess I will see if these hatch as I can see them without...
Curiosity got the better of me so I moved the leaf and rock to get a better look and there are still 15-20 eggs but they are now attached to the side of the rock.I don't know if disturbing them will cause them to eat them but wanted to see if there were any left.I put it back the way it was so...
The eggs were red but it looked like a messy lay as they were mostly on the sand and it only looked to be about 20 or so.The nest is the side of that back rock with the other three sides being an oak leaf laying on edge and it looks like the eggs were laid at the sand/leaf intersection.I looked...
So I just checked the nest that that "male" is guarding from the female and there are eggs in there! I am really confused now.Would the male be chasing the female away from eggs?Or is this indeed a female?
I ended up just moving this pair into the 40 breeder once it was cycled along with some black neons and regular neons.The "male" looks more like a male now with longer dorsal and anal trailers and the head has gotten blockier also.Weird thing is he has dug a cave in the back corner which she...
Hopefully time will tell on this one.I plan on moving these two from the 20 long they are in now into a 40 breeder and adding another pair of cacs with a "known" male and female.So either I end up with two pairs in there or one male and trio of females.My feeling that this one is a female is...
I did not think so either but this thread has a fish very similar to mine that layed eggs:
