Ok, so what if we're getting our second snow storm inside of a week!!! I was checking my tank where my Apisto Sp Mamore Reds are in this afternoon. I knew from looking last night that one female had spawned and had eggs inside an open flower pot. So while checking to see if the eggs were still there and any good, i was SHOCKED to see free swimming fry with the other female on the other end of the tank!!! I am so excited, I've watched spawn after spawn either fungus up or have the eggs get eaten. I'm wondering if the 5 Blue Danios i have in the tank with them caused the females to be more protective, even from the male!! And i said i never use dithers in my breeding tanks, man what a liar!!! Ok, sorry for ranting, just had to tell someone!! Tundra John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
