    Hi - those are dwarf west African cichlids, most likely a Pelvicachromis Pulcher variety. Apistogramma are South American. The only way to ensure the babies survive are to isolate the parents in the community tank OR remove all other fish inhabitants to another tank. Not to worry if you lose the babies, if they have done it once, chances are they will breed once again if they lose this brood. The pair will benefit from having a tank to themselves so they can breed and bring up the babies without losing them to predators.

    Live, newly hatched baby brine shrimp !! Feed them asap, the look big enough for BBS now. And I mean NOW. It only take 2-3 days before they starve if there is no food for them.

    OK Not in Australia but not much point starting a new topic at this point. A friend went on holiday last week, and when he returned his Apistogramma pair had produced babies. He had done a large 50% water change before he went away so I assume that triggered it as it hasn't happened before, first batch! A photo of the babies and the dad keeping an eye on them, they are only a couple of days old and at the bottom of the photo, very difficult to see, I think there are 6-8 maybe; They are in a community tank at the moment and the dad is doing a sturdy job of protecting them. If they do survive I will probably take a couple for my still empty old shrimp tank, but a bit too early to set that up at the moment as I don't know how likely it is that they will survive? Any advise on keeping/raising these will be much appreciated. ps. My betta is still doing well.
