Okey guys..now iam getting frustrated here!..the Apistos has spawned 4 times and every single time after a day or 2 the eggs are gone
I was thinking if i can remove the eggs and have them in an breeder box in the same tank? or do i just have to leave the eggs and hopefully the Apistos will take care of the eggs!
Here is a pic from the first spawn but the third was infertile!





I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Are they on their own, or there are tankmates?.

My parameters are:
0,0 and PH6,8 KH no idea.
The fish i have in the tank are:
7 1-line pencilfish just added yesterday
6 small Red danios of some kind!not really sure what they are..
2 Apistos 1 male and 1 female

The female always was on guard and never let any fish get near her eggs!
I belive she might have eaten them.

Try putting them on their own & i bet you'll have some fry. The female will guard the eggs, but with the other fish pestering around, she'll eventually give up.
