Hello,

My name is Ruvan Nanayakkara

I currently keep mostly Tanganyikan cichlids, but have always been 
interersted in apistos and west african dwarfs. Have kept several Apisto 
species and two Nanochromis species. Was successful in breeding and 
raising A. borellii.

The A. borellii breeding experience was an intersting one. I had two 
pairs in a 20H. The dominant male first spawned with the dominant female 
and a few days later spawned with the second female. When the fry from 
the second female were about 2 days old(free swimming) the dominant 
female "aquired" about half of the second females fry and raised them. 
Anyone know wether this is common in Appistogramma
