To add to Mikes comments I have seen even Cardinal Tetra's devour apisto fry even when some of them were getting shred to pieces by momma Apisto. The best fish I have seen added are pencil fish. However only in a spacious tank that is heavily planted will they stand a good chance to thrive. Again this is a question of choice there is no right or wrong but if you want to raise a good size brood, I prefer to raise the fry alone with their momma to make my efforts worth my time. ===== David Sanchez Orlando, FL http://www.mindspring.com/~barbax barbax@mindspring.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
