Re: Hatching times

[Mike & Diane Wise <apistowise@bewellnet.com>]

Nuno,

Römer's study recommends that the fry be raised at 26ºC (79ºF) for a 
50/50 ratio. This is discussed in his book.

From what I understand, Römer's 2nd volume will be about all of the new 
species not listed in his 1st volume. Therefore if you want all of the 
apistos, you will need both volumes.  If true, this is much better than 
the revised editions of Linke & Stack's book. Their new editions only 
have 4 or 5 new species. The rest of the book is the same as the old 
book. I keep hearing that Römer's Volume 2 will be out sometime later 
this year. Based on how long it took the original to arrive, I will not 
be holding my breath. Does anyone out there know any more details?
