Apisto laying eggs

[bs6749]

I think you will find that BBS are too lare for the first few days when they go free swimming. I'd use microworms or walter worms and then switch over to BBS. I've also heard great things about cyclopeeze.

you dont have to worry about feeding them till they are free swimming then i would use freshly hatched brine shrimp and or infusoria and later micro worms are good.

what kind of apisto is it?

Double Red

 

[biggdadyapisto]

im guessing cacatuoides double red not agassizii?

 

[mcgrady7761]

take some photos. im dying to see what they look like

 

[jb-ny]

Correct, cacatuoides.
I will try to take pics...the wigglers are in a cave that has two holes...I moved it
180 degrees so I could see the little guys and as soon as I took my hand out, mama moved them to the other end of the cave.

Congrats! Got a count on the wigglers?

 

[jb-ny]

It seems that there are less wigglers today than yesterday...not sure if mama moved them (there were still unhatched eggs yesterday) maybe moved wigglers closer to food source...I have no idea never been this far before.

I may have inadverntly killed some yesterday...I thought I was being nice when I tried to feed BBS with a medicine dropper and shot some of the wigglers out of the other end of the cave...mama tried to retrieve them.

 

[biggdadyapisto]

oh you dont have to feed till the egg sac is gone.

 

[jb-ny]

I jumped the gun. I did it before I checked here.

 

[biggdadyapisto]

yeah and if its a first time spawn your lucky the even hatched.
