Re: shy aphyosemion
I use that setup on Gardneri, but in a 10 gallon. I see them almost every
time I feed them. Mostly the female though, the male hides more.
I use a turkey baster to move the fry as soon as I see them.
I have two pairs of A. bitaeniatum, 1 pair in two 2.5 gallon tanks exactly
the same, same filter, water, mop, light, cover, temp and food. The only
difference is one pair hides all the time and the other does not. Try and
figure that one out. I gave up a long time ago!
