As we speak, I am watching my apisot cacatuoides laying eggs on the side of the tank! Go figure, I provide 1000 caves, and she puts theminthe back corner on the glass. Right now in the 10g, my other female has a small brood that is about 2 days away from free swimming. Now, I was thinking, should I remove my male to a large 30g tank so he wont add any stress?? Or just leave him. Later this week I plan on geting a 20g Long and plant it up for the new home of these apistos, and use the 10g for whatever. Dunno, anyways, to move the male or leave him?? Lemme know what you experts think. SO far I have had 2 hatchs only make as far as the 2nd day of free swimming. Then again, my trio of apistos are all under an inch in size, amnd very young.
