After a failed first attempt, my pair of A. nijsseni have fry! Mom ate the eggs the first time. Last night i saw her chasing the male into a corner of the tank, and i checked her cave and saw the little purple eggs. This morning, still lots of eggs and i spotted two free swimming fry near the cave. Dad is hiding behind some plants in the back of the tank. We'll see if the fry make it past a few days old <crossing fingers>. off to jar up some Bettas, christine danville, ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
