I received my apisto juvies from pat today!!!!! Two fish were doas but the other 5 are safe and sound in my tank that I had prepared for them. Tomorrow I will post pictures the two pictures I took tonight are not good. After 10 minutes in the tank, they were swimming about establishing territories and sifting through the sand searching for food. I am very happy with the 5 fish I have received, they are really cute and quite boisterous. I saw two fighting over a cavelike spot under a magnolia leaf and their fighting was quite impressive for juveniles.

They are in a 10 gallon tank with a light layer of sand, some leaf litter and manzanita wood, one potted crypt and a heater heated to 80 degrees. rooibos stained water with some biomedia from another tank.

Jacklyn, so glad you like the little buggers. Sorry about the DOAs. In talking with Jacklyn one died in the bag and one bag split opened. My goal was no deaths. I was careful about fasting for 24 hours and using clean water for the bags. No sure what I will do different for next time. My one concern with the bags is having the fish get caught in a winkle in the bag and not being able to free itself. No clue on what to do different.

Do as Kenny does and use a whole box of bags on one fish, lol, j/k. When you fill the bag up with air it eliminates the wrinkles and the potential hazard. Double and triple bag for no bag tears. If you get a few popped bags feedback from buyers then you need to up the amount of bags you use.

I am using the breather bags Ricardo so no air. You fill the bag with water but the bag is not taut. It needs to be more like a pillow when you place a little pressure on the bag. I can double bag them however.

Hi Jacklyn, I have the original seven Apistos that I got from Pat. They are very engaging and fun to watch. They are growing very well and they do have a bit of sand in a twenty gallon long with two little caves which they do like. Out of the seven I have five that have grown very well and two small ones that seem to be growing as well. The were the two smaller ones anyway. They love to eat! I feed them sometimes five times a day. They are on crushed FDBW's and frozen brine shrimp cubes. Enjoy. Rufus

You know me Pat, putting pictures on this forum is too complicated for my non pragmatic mind! I will try at some point. I sent you a text message this afternoon but you never answered. Easier on my phone directly to you for pics. Rufus
