Pseudohemiodon apithanos breeding
I would like to share my breeding project with you of Pseudohemiodon Apithanos.
1-1,5 Years ago I was able to buy 5 females from a friend. They were part of a breeding group but sadly the two breeding males died and so he sold the remaining fish. It took me a year to find adult males for my breeding project but in September 2014 I found some at Aqua-global. With help from a great fishy friend and my LFS I got them home to my females. There was no chemistry between the fish, it stayed silent.... Until last week. A normal routine feed in the early morning, nothing to see. When I came home in the afternoon, there they were...eggs They looked to be infertile....so pale. But I put them in my egg tumbler and the waiting game started. After 24 hours the egg changed and it separated into two halves, yellow on the bottom and a clear substance on the top. In the middle was a white spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7laWI2H4n88 On day 3 I cleaned the tumbler and took some pictures of the eggs for data information. The white blotch had developed a stripe, but other then that still little to see and still in doubt... But cautiously filled with hope. Video of the eggs day 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzCMMlOEbMk Yesterday I got the confirmation I was hoping for. The embryo was there and it moved Just that little tail movement at the beginning of the video made my day!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No6_5vjL1do Side view of the eggs on day 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hA7n_hzzeI |

Thank you for your reply's
Day 7. Today I had some problems with the eggs.. On the right you can see an egg which has enlarged, I think it is due to osmotic pressure. On the left is a dead egg swirling but you can also see another dead larvae, it's the one with the white spot on the egg. So lost 3 larvae at this stage. One of the larvae hatched premature, my fault I guess because I rinsed the eggs out of the tumbler so I could clean it... When I put them back gently it hatched.. I did a small water change, about 25%, using warm water to refresh to keep the temperature the same. I then put a blanket on top of the tank to make it dark where the eggs are in the tumbler. It seemed to have worked and the larvae were ok the next morning. I did another small water change today, same routine. Even the premature hatchling was doing fine and had even grown during the night! So a bit more hopeful Day 7 https://youtu.be/pO0yDe8Rs9I Day 8, top view https://youtu.be/-PiMroe93xk Day 8, side view https://youtu.be/qsgLCyaZqmU |

Day 9. The outer shell isn't very clean anymore and a little fungus has started to attach.. It's a hard job keeping eggs good for such a long time!!

So I helped it out of it's eggshell.. Another premature baby Apithanos in the tumbler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tY1MzS8Bl4 |
