Bilbo Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Finally got a successful spawning of Agassizi. About 50 - 60. Now a week old eating heaps of microworms and decap BS. Hopefully they will be quite nice as they are a cross from a beautiful Red and F1 girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 So my order is for the Cockatoos and Agassizi please. Great news wish we had more people down here breeding apisto's. My Panduro are growing well but slowly, eat flake now as well as BBS and M/Worms. What did you do to make them spawn, I got the Panduro to spawn with a little peat and slightly cooler water changers.

Bilbo Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Despite all that I have read about harem spawning I have more success with 1:1. In the main tank there are 5 females and 1 male. I have tried 3:1, 2:1 and 5:1 with no joy at all but 1:1 it’s easy. I am going to try 5 tanks with 1 female each and just switch the male around to see what happens. They are the fastest apisto’s to grow that I have ever had and constantly looking for food, even coming up to the surface to grab the brine shrimp or micro worms before they sink. Did a recount last night and its closer to 100 (counted 3 times and got 3 different answers but all around 95 – 99) fat little bellies swimming around. Bound to loose a few though, I will be happy to end up with 30 or even 20 from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I read that they breed well in harems with atleast 2-3 males with 2-3 females per male.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
