A. sp."Maulbrueter" breeding update



Sal,all,
The fry started to free swim last night.The females attacks toward the male got a bit nastier.I decided then to move the male to another tank.
The fry got their first tour of the tank this morning.The female moved them from the pit they stayed in the last three days to another one,in the middle of the tank, near a clump of java moss.Probably to let the fry feed on infusoria found on the java moss.They eagerly took freshly hatched BBS right away.I counted at least 25 fry near Mom.The female seems to be more relaxed now since the male was moved.She picks up strays with her mouth,just like other Apisto Moms do ,and spits them back out into the school.Nothing like the mouthbrooding behavior she displayed earlier after the eggs just hatched.
The first photos didn't turn out to good since the female keeps the fry in the middle of the tank.I'll try again tonight.
I'll keep you posted.

Well Max, your female is certainly showing different fry brooding behavior
than mine did, and I only got 8 fry. By the way, I also got mine from Mike,
but I think he put something in the water to make my female a bad
mother!!!...just kidding Mike..
Keep us informed.
Sal
