I’ll try my best to answer them! I’m still considering myself in the learning phase with them though :P The new batch of apostolic fry are coming along very nicely, with lots of micro worms and BBS I notice they are a lot more active than when I didn’t have these live foods ready for them...

Yup, those are the ones :P

Wow great info here, thank you! I’ll make sure to keep you updated on it progress. In other news, the apistos spawned!! Guessing roughly 20-30 fry with mom swimming around right now, super exciting. Also, got three pseudomugil eggs to hatch last week, but it seems I’ve only been able to get...

Thank you for the link! Just put the spawning mop for the gertrudaes in last night, and pulled 3 eggs this afternoon, going to see how many I can get for the next week or so

Had some spare time, so I just made a small batch of cider vinegar, if it works out I'll post some pictures, although should be a several weeks before I'll see any eels. As far as the fish everyone is going good, I try to take some good pictures of my fry today to post, and the pseudomugils as well.

There's a specialist LFS pretty close by, I'll stop in and see what they have today.

Might have to give this a try, would make for some interesting posts for you all to read too. Could try to make a guide on it if it works out.

Hey, just read through all the posts and am totally in love with your fish room, I love apistos too!! Just curious how you have been getting your hands on some of the less common guys, like the crenicichlas? I think they're awesome.

Thank you both for the compliment! I'd like to get my hands on some, they seem pretty easy to culture as well. Just need to find a vender in Canada. I've also been looking at confused flour beetles and would use their larvae as a food. Don't know if they are nutritious or not however as they...

Ignore all my algae but here's the big boy

I have not, correct me if I'm wrong but don't they need to be cultured in salt water? That might be a bit outside my ability. I've put the golden pearls on my fishmas list, so I'm hoping to get some soon! Want to get this breeding project going. Pics coming soon!

Okay, so here goes! Finally got a 20 gallon set up to raise my favourite pair of apisto's fry (my agassizii), currently have only 5 medium size fry in there, but I'm sure the parents are going to be making about 50 or so more in the next couple of weeks. The pair is still housed in the bottom...

Wow has it really been a year since my last post?! To all who are still following my thread, I have some juicy updates that I will be sharing tomorrow! Still working on some old projects as well as starting up a new one for this Christmas break, so hopefully will get lots of posts up over the...

If you're planning to breed the apistos and have the pleco I have heard that the pleco will often eat the eggs. No personal experience with this so cannot confirm for sure but it seems very plausible to me.
