Nice work Poppa!!!
You make it look easy bro, I like the way you put the mesh guards for the eggs. Did you make your own, or you bought them like that?
The fish look great too!!![emoji38]
The Apistos colored up nice .
I understand what Andy is saying to you about the time it takes to breed some quality fish, as I study more about breeding and strains, genetics, breeding is a slow process, as for me it will be slow as I slowly establish my craft. I'm currently researching breeders in Canada and to my surprise there's quit a few. Looks like I may have to import some if I can't find any here, I'm going less to the lfs or big name stores as I'm seeing some quality and not so healthy fish after buying them. So when I'm going to breed I'm going to buy young fish of good size and raise them myself, it seems a bit slow but you can see what your getting and have some control of your fish.
Best of luck and have a Merry Christmas!!![emoji319]
You have very fine taste in fish man
I like them all!!![emoji12]

Yes brotha man you said it so well!!![emoji12] Happy Fishmass [emoji319]With that frame of mind you'll do just fine breeding. A lot of people get sidetracked "bandwagon breeding". They see someone get cool fish and talk abt breeding them. So then they do it. And most I'm finding dont even know or understand why the strains are suffering after a few gens. Take for example how many on here do guppies for "a bit of money". Only 1-5% do it correctly. Most scoff at the idea of 10-20 tanks per strain. But that effort and time is a must. Anything less can & will lead to bad genes. They don't see what happens many generations down the line. Quality, control, time, effort can nip most of that in the bud. Another i see a bit is... Oh hey i got these "blah blah" theyre cool. Can someone basically write a manual on breeding them for me. So i can do it incorrectly anyways.

Dang Mr.Pisto!
That dude is bangin!
sit in silence...
I'm trying to do it right too... it's not so easy! Those eggs are exciting- the rebirth of the empire! I can;t wait to see what you do with them.
I read about how the colors attract the fry and how the lighter color have issues.
Some where I read they would prefer one of their own as far as color/strain.
I found it amusing to think they knew what they looked like???
But my 3 different strains/colors in my 180 ended pairing with their own!
Did the crystal and mate choose each other from being in a group???
I had several spawns from mixed but like almost all my others the went haywire...
Having a hard time finding more then just common info on the psitos...
Where /how do you search?
I know there is a lot of info on discus,it was easy to read something different everyday.
I can't much on specific species besides 'generic' info...
Most of the info that you're going to find for apistos is going to be generic, but with tank strains, it's really all you need. It's not until you get into wild species that you may need special care.

I do alot of reading. Not page jumping the net, but actual books.......Lots of lil experiments...... But in all honesty.... Books and articles first. People/hobbyists second. Web third.
