    I just LOVE apistogrammas!

    Had a pair of apistogramma sp. blue steel spawning regularly, but lost the female.

    Added a new female Sunday, and my wife just informed me that their eggs have hatched and there is new fry!

    Super chuffed. Going to attempt to get plenty to adulthood.

    Got 20 sub adults from the first pair currently.

    Wanna get other apisto's also and expand my breeding setup.
