>>The A. cacatuoides female last Saturday moved the fry outside of... I have my apisto cactuoides fry on the 21st day of free swimming, in a 10g tank, with just the mother. I am thinking of moving her in a week or so. Anyways, leave her for a while, its neat watching her herd the family around. I feed my fry, baby brine shrimp many times a day. I usually feed them twice early in the morning, an since I am at work for 10 hrs a day, when I come home, they are hungry. Don't worry about it. Good luck! Oh yeah, I am not by any means an experienced breeder. This is my 1st breeding atempt of any fish, and so far I have had 5 spawns, with only 2 surviving, both of which are being raised right now.
