    From my first attempt at raising fry.

    I posted here in January about an unexpected clutch of fry. I was discouraged to attempt to carry out raising them and told I wasn’t ready. This is one of my keepers. I have traded and given away at least 40 others. Albeit it is a lot of work and I am still learning. Don’t let anyone discourage...

    Thank you for your informative reply. It reiterated the direction I am heading. This is my first time with apistos. I have seeded sponge filters and the 20gals are cycling now. Everything seems to be going good in their current tank so I am not in a hurry to move them. They may just be over 1cm...

    My fry seem to be doing well. Three weeks since my original post. I lost some but currently have roughly 70-80 left. Tomorrow I am setting up 2 20gal longs for the next step. How long should I keep them on bbs? How long should I wait to move them to the larger tanks (currently in a 10gal)...

    I am pretty resourceful when I need to be. I guess I am a hands on learner. Btw the fry are currently in a grow out tank.

    Thanks. Update I removed 75% of the fry. Set up a fry tank. Started them on egg yoke solution until I get my first hatch of bbs. We will see. I am pretty resourceful when I need to be. I will have no issues relocating (if) and when they mature a little bit more. The male was removed from the...

    Thanks for the replies. I will get it figured out today. I have raised Africans in the past which are pretty easy. First time with this species of cichlid. Figured I would check in with ”the experts”. Throwing a tank together is pretty easy for me. I have the space and the means. I also have a...

    I can grab a 10gallon tomorrow. I have some frozen baby brine. I will try to get some eggs going as well. Or should I just leave them be.

    I am looking for some help. I've got a cacatuoides, male and 2 females. There are some black tetras in the tank as well. I had a spawn and apparently it was successful. I have about 30-50 fry to my best guess. I am over filtered with an old 404 canister so flow is pretty high (I have a spray...
