Ok folks..... Someone want to tell me how to stop my Inca's from spawning..... pair # 2 has just spawned and there is a huge batch of eggs inside the flower pot..... I would have thought that such a gorgeous apisto would be a little more challenging...... Not that im complaining... but who would have thought they were this easy.... and the fry are easy to raise too.... I have found out one thing about these guys..... very much like Nijsenni, they are NOT a harem spawner.... in one tank i have a trio, in the other tank just the pair..... well the pair spawned a couple of days ago... in the trio tank, a pair spawned and just about harassed the "extra" lone female to the point she hides in the floating plants in the top of the tank, never to venture out of them except to eat..... anyone in need of a female inca? Shes a wild caught fish, very nice ..... last thing i want to do is get another male and have another pair spawning on me.... nope dont need that.....lol Well its late, i cant sleep and felt like rambling on ..... sorry....
