follow-up to mamore
Well, sometime last night the mamore female layed a clutch of eggs on the
underside of a piece of coconut shell (this is my first real attempt at
creating an environment in which the mamores will feel comfortable to
spawn). It's curious that she chose the coconut shell when she had been
hiding under a piece of slate all day/night yesterday. I'm trying to see if
they'll produce fry with the current, unaltered water conditions, which are
not ideal for apisto breeding (76 degrees Farenheit-a dual temp thermometer
that I have earmarked for replacement with one with more control-, ph ~ 7.2,
dKH=4, dGH=5).
The fish are outpacing my re-fitting the tank for their breeding, so I'm off
to buy a piece of foam to cover the filter intake! While I'm not expecting
complete success here, each episode is a learning experience, right?
