Ok the apisto fry are growing but are still small they can swim normally and have visible Finns and patterns but my concern is that the mom has abandoned them and has been hiding in the coconut husk for the past 2 days. I think she is raising another batch of eggs. What should I do? Who should I...

Ok thanks for your input Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Do you think it would be a good Idea to transfer the parents into a 10 gal tank after a like 2 weeks? I'll just use water and a peace of drift wood from the original tank with a coconut husk and new sand Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks for responding gillie everything seems to be going well. The female apisto takes very good care of the fry as she picks them up with her mouth and putts the fry back in the group when they stray away. I'm going to pick up some brine shrimp eggs but right now I'm feeding them hikari first...

About 6 or 8 leaves is good, if you don't want many leaves in your aquarium you can add some peat moss to your filter in a fine mesh filter media bag. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks guys! The black neons like to hang out at the top mostly and I have tried countless time rearranging the leaves and driftwood but nothing seems to change the aggressive behavior of my apisto....

I want to get rid of all my tetras and get 2 schools of black wing hatchetfish and cardinal tetras so that it can be a Orinoco river basin biotope :). I also have only one problem and that is my male apsitogramma he is so aggressive and always chases the females away. The females are always...

Lol I forgot about this thread but everything is going great! I haven't used carbon on this tank only the sponge, bio media and about 6 tbs of peat moss in a filter media bag. My stock is: 6 neon tetras 7 black neon tetras 3 apistogramma sold to me as A. Viejita I also have 3 amazon swords...
