I found about a 1/2" baby in the tank. They spawned! I don't know when. I assume if there were too many more I would have found them before now. I may have to take a pair out and put them in their own tank!

These are the mouthbrooding apistos. I think Rob has some.

I thought that female looked pretty darn yellow!

Yeah, I have some of them and one of the females is yellow and black. But, I am not really hopeful for any spawn as the move still has them hiding out.

Information I have read on this Apisto species results in lower than normal broods, typically between 1 and 3 fry are common. Also, it makes sense since the brood is in the mouth. Don't know if the standard 6 for "BAPing" would still apply.

I had 3 pair, but I may be missing a female somewhere. I think some are spawning again, or have babies. I have them in a 10g with lots of driftwood, so they hide pretty well.
