Ken,

Never saw it with our nijsenni, however the A. swarzsaum (?sp, also aka =
black edged apisto), always spawned in duplicate.  There were two females =
and one male and they would always spawn within one day of each other.  =
The fry of these parents also did the same thing and I recall an article =
from Kurt Zadnick reporting similar findings.
