Things have been very quiet here for more than a brief period. NO doubt there is a number of issues influencing such outcomes. The rising cost of energy I suspect will be a major hurdle for us all...

The cacatuoides are probably the most common and popular Apisto so I wouldn't imagine you'd have too much difficulty finding a pair. I'd freight you up a pair myself but I know breeders in NSW would...

If your 3x14x14 is very complexly arranged (eg: stuffed full) then you 'might' keep all the fish alive. Just remember that "most"Apistos are pretty easy to keep and breed, the difficulty lies with...

Firstly - Wayne, nice to see all is still going well for you.
As for your question yanke, I will be interested to see Apistoguy's response. I have bred many A.cacatuoides but the orange-flash are...

G'day Yanke
the tank size you've mentioned in your initial post "will do" for breeding purposes but "will not do" for long term housing of a single pair of Apistogramma cacatuoides. The...

G'day Steph
been a long time since any real activity was detected here. I hopw once you've moved that you'll re-establish at least a couple of tanks for your beloved Apistos. I fear however that...

wood in your tank that is 'still leeching tannis' will continue to affect water chemistry but your water changes will radically alter water chemistry. Blackwater extract or peat moss USED TO CHANGE...

For the benefit of those who may find themselves in a similar situation - purchase a cheap air-pump and an equally cheap corner filter. Place all your bio media into the corner filter (or box-filter)...

If you want to lower your PH and water hardness and can't afford or don't wish to invest in an RO filter (about $300) you can purchase Blackwater Extract, which is expensive, or throw in a few...

Well Kristina, ya' ain't gonna' have ta' wait long - the fry emerged today :-))

No worries Kristina. Consider this - the fish pictured above is about 50mm (2 inches) in length and already extremely handsome. I am not aware of this specie being available previously so I leapt at...

I've seen mixed Apistos in an aquarium here in Melbourne, 3 species, cacatuoides, borelli and another I can't recall. The males weren't hard to distinquish except for the fact that they all looked...

things seem to be pretty quiet here and I've been busy. Too busy to mention all the spawns taking place let alone trying to gather photographical evidence but....I've made an effort to make a post...

I always give my apistos lots of options and to this point I have never used pots. Rocks and driftwood with hollows etc are good and many of my fish have chosen to spawn in such places rather than...

I was in Subscape (Richmond, Melbourne) this afternoon and found myself resisting a lovely pair of A. viejita. They also had a trio of A. panduro

Just be mindful - Apistogramma often suck their young into their mouths only to spit them back out where they 'ought to be. In this way the parents often relocate wayward fry. Obviously if you...
