Apistogramma Panduro in her Spawning Cave

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Saw some activity with my wild caught apistogramma panduro female, so I grabbed the camera. Im almost certain that there are eggs in the cave with her. Hopefully fry to come soon! I think it is some great cave spawner behavior.

I had fry, but they got cooked when I added a heater, then I lost them one by one after that. On top of it their mom jumped a few days after, so this is the new girl!

Sorry to hear that. I hate it when heaters fritz out.

Yea, and when this female was added i wasnt sure they would pair up, but a few months later all was good!

There was indeed fry, they are out and free swimming with the careful watch of mom. Small clutch of only about 5 but not bad for the first time around

The Appistogramma species has got to be one of the most stunning fish out there! Would love to have a trio sadly my rainbow shark thinks otherwise! Love your fish too! Looks like she's got lots of spunk!
