Dumb Luck
Who ever said that it is better to be lucky than good
was onto something.
My 'main' tank is a 45 tall (36x12x24). I recently
converted it to a planted tank. I have been paying
way more attention to plants than fish lately.
Last night when I was feeding, I noticed that the pair
of P. t. 'Moliwe' had a school of around 40 free
swimming fry with them. I was very surprised.
The other fish in the tank are 3 ottos, 5 Rasbora
maculata, and a cardinal tetra. The Rasboras stay on
the top of a very tall tank so I am not worried about
them. I think the parents will not have any trouble
keeping the cardinal tetra at away.
I tested my water parameters and was shocked to find
the ph at around 9 (the light were on). The KH was 2
degrees. My DIY CO2 ran out about five days ago. I
had not had to to change it.
I know that you can affect the sex ratio of apistos
for about the first month. Does anyone know if the
same is true of Pelvicachromis? I guess I should just
be happy that my fish spawned in this water and that
the eggs hatched but it would be nice to get some
males.
