Re: A. sp."Maulbrueter".



Hi Sal ,Rich all ,
Here's the latest on my A. sp."Maulbrueter":
The female kept her wigglers in one certain pit for the last two days.
It looks like that they will be free swimming either by today or tomorrow.I estimated about 15-20 fry.Not much compared to other Apisto forms.I left the male in the tank for now.He always get's chased away when he gets to close to the pit.The female only leaves the pit to get some food or to chase the male away.
I'm hoping to get some nice photos of the female with fry this time for the new website:).I'll keep my fingers crossed.Oh ,did I mentioned that my pair came from Mike Jacobs,Thanks again Mike.
This species is really a great addition to any Apisto fishroom.

Hi all,
Here's an update on my pair of A. sp."Maulbrueter".
Ok, I found about 20 new wigglers in the tank this morning.The female dug up the whole tank,probably to create hiding spots for her fry.She really likes to dig near plant roots until they are exposed.This will give the fry probably more spots to hide in.I really think that a fine sand substrate is important to have in the breeding tank for this species.
I will post pictures of the tank and of the female carrying her wigglers later today in the Maulbruetr section on my old website.
My pair will be moved to bigger , but similar decorated quarters (20g long) after this spawn.
I'm really enjoying watching their interesting behavior,very different from other Apisto species forms.
Max
