I have fry that are now free swimming and eating BBS. Hatched during Aquafest - 7.0 ph, 78 degrees. I need batteries for my hardness meter so I have no idea on that spec. Tank is a 20L with one male and three females. Another female was sitting on eggs, however, those don't seem to have made it. I use small flower pots as breeding "caves."

Mike,
Congrats on your new fry!
I've tried getting apistos before, but not had a dedicated tank for them. A couple of times, I just threw them in a large planted community, but they sort of get lost down in the weeds.
But the pair of bitaeniata that I got from you at the last meeting are doing great! They are in a sweet little planted 10 gallon with some peppered corys to keep them company. The male's crest is really coming in nicely. Big spiky yellow mohawk!
I don't think I have the time to breed them and think the corys may make a meal out of the fry, but they are awesome fish none-the-less. They're very curious fish, cruising cautiously around the tank, weaving through plants and roots.
Folks with a bit of interest in these guys should definitely check them out.
