Hello Sounds interesting to keep the Ap. sp.Maulbruter in a colony setup! Can you give us some more info about how you keep them? Tanksize, company, plants, no. of individuals, etc. I really like the idea to keep apistos in quite large colonys. Of course one species/ tank.

Must be no ones having any problems with their fish..... or no ones bought any new apistos lately.... Things here are quiet.... no new species for me just working with a few old time favorites.... trying to pick up or reacquire some species Ive done in the past....but looks like with Winter setting in for good now... I'll have to wait till spring to ship in anything really good!!! Im mostly happy that im working with my F1 generation Apistogramma sp Maulbruter... So far it turns out that this is a nice Colony spawning species for me.... I would have never thought this from this species.... but i've got juvies of all different sizes in the tank.... now that the biggest of the F1's are breeding size, looks like one Pair has picked a corner flower pot to set up shop..... lets hope i see some fry swimming with the parents soon.... Keep warm ppl.... Im sure trying to here in the frozen wastelands of New York..... 8-) Tundra Johnny ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
