Re: Nijsseni fry!

LOL... guess i'm so used to just seeing the eggs and then seeing a
group of fry...  The current eggs are bright purple, and she's
clearly guarding them.  

Theres at least 3 or 4 little fry in there. This explains why the pair
has been acting "weird" (hiding, fighting, etc.) for over a month.
When i first got them, they were the friendliest pair of apistos
i had, coming out to see me and watching me while i worked
in other tanks. Now they hide when they see me.
She must have had eggs somewhere that i didn't notice.  She
doesn't seem to be paying attention to the fry...  i guess they 
have to fend for themselves.

thanks,
christine
