Apistos Spawned Again

[Fats]

A breeding net would be ok until you can rehouse them in something bigger,ive not used liquifry for years but you have to be careful as it easy pollutes the water and also you will get fish sucking it through the net from underneath. Are they still with the parents now? if so there could be a good chance they might survive,Apisto's can be quite aggressive when defending there young.

very interesting to see how hard they work to defend their fry,but very disheartening to watch the fry numbers dwindling,dispite their efforts

cheers

Dont get to disheartened,once youve persuaded the wife to let you have another tank all for the Apisto's it will be fine

both females have now spawned,and there eggs are only about 2 inches apart under the bogwood,they are just about tolerating each other,mind you can't see there being any survivors as they are still in the community tank!!
