Again, pretty apistos! These look like a different species than you've posted before. Are all those dots eggs & newly hatched fry?!? Or what? Some snails? Nose to screen, I can't tell, lol. You're such a tease, jake. I thought it was show & then tell...so tell please!

Some of the dots are nerite eggs but to the right of the female you can see free swimming frys - it is a large number of frys - around 40 or 50. She is very protective of them. The blue fish is a. ladisalo; a relatively new fish. The past 3 years i think 10 to 20 new apistogramma species have been found. Of course with changing climate i am fearful that a large number will suffer.

Yes, I did see some free swimmers! Congrats! I think it was the snail eggs that threw me off, lol. They seem so big compared to apisto eggs.

Yes, climate change will affect our many wild caught fish, as will human encroaching/changing habitat. As Joni Mitchell sang, you don't know what you've got it's gone. Sad but true 😭

Rather than thread crap on other posts I think i will use this thread to post various pictures from time to time. This first post will have a lot some older some newer but newer ones will be added as time passes:

This is my hongsloi aquarium. The breed frequently but they can't hatch because my water is too hard. There is a nijennsi in there that is around 30 months old because her beloved died. I also have some L204, sterbai, red tail otto (not really otto); an L333 (i'll post a picture of him next) and some L204:

This is one of my younger L204 still in the apisto tank:

And this was the female nijennsi mate who died:

Here are a couple of pictures from my 40B - not going to show an old picture of the 40B since i am redoing it right now which means tearing out some plants and adjusting things - so maybe in a couple of months as things settle down:View attachment 231112

This is my angel tank. Something has been beating them up the past couple of months but I don't want to show beat up anggels:

This is what my angels used to look like:

My snails have gotten some really long hair...

so I got some shrimp to help keep them groomed

View attachment 231121

I've only had the shrimp for about 3 weeks but they have gotten really large - almost as large as my bn plecos.

the pictures from the 5 gallon are pretty new as are the full image from the apisto and live bearer tank but some are older... enjoy...
Love the Val!
