The parents are gorgeous. About how long before the fry are of a sellable age and size? Oh, and to wander off on a tangent, what is that substrate you're using in their tank?

[Rbishop]

I would guess 2-3 months until I would feel good about shipping them.

The substrate is s grade colorquartz sand.

Probably a couple bucks for unsexed juvies, they will be affordable

yea for sure, I have 7 types of apistos growing out now. If I grow them out to sexable/paired sizes they will be less affordable then unsexed juvies. Time will tell!

[BioHazard]

Gonna have to get me a couple.

[sorberj]

drool.....

seriously...awsome job. I can't wait for them to hit your lists

[DavidZ]

Great job as always, what about feeding golden pearls?

[msjinkzd]

[DavidZ]

Thanks Rach, beautiful fish!
