Very nice Ian. She is totally stunning, a real credit to you. You going to grow them on or just let nature take its course?

That Apiso is really nice I must admit, had there been signs of breeding Ian? The fry are so small!

Great video, what type of apistos are they??

 

[ian]

hey DJ Funk, they are apistogramma cacatuoides double red, a really interesting fish.

 

[ZoddyZod]

Agreed Zod, she's a beaut! Well done Ian how is she doing with them now? None vanished overnight?

Wow they are stunning! I hope mine breed when I get them, would be lovely, especially as they are such good parents.

What type of moss is that that you have?

I just have to ask, is there any particular reason your female is called Dawn?

 

[ian]

thanks guys...

how is she doing with them now? None vanished overnight?

she's taken them to the back of the tank, there have been a few other deaths though, i have lost 3 of the red phantoms, i presume she has attacked them. I did catch her ripping the tail off of one of them.

What type of moss is that that you have?

it's just plain old Java moss.

i only did that as a joke, just to see if anyone noticed.
