if predation is the worry, just keep the dithers down to two or maybe three. not ideal for most dither species, but hey - the apistos are the main concern. at low numbers the dithers will do their...

longest i've kept a cac (one of my males) is three years. two is more typical in my experience.

just a recommendation - these are great little fish of steph's and the parents are beautiful. i bought some about 2 months ago and they are in perfect health, colouring up nicely (and i got a girl,...

i'd only go with a pair. aesthetically, a mated pair can't be beat. if you have more, they tend to subdue their colours and hide quite a bit in order to not draw the attention of the alpha pair. ...

they were nice enough to sit still a while in front of a mirror - how could you not love apistos!

on a good healthy fish, i find the luminous dots in the black patch the best indicator of a female (and conversely, no dots on the male)

one of the best fish ever, i reckon. in shape and mature they are stunning. great pic of yours!

hey kristina, i like your tank too! i'd plant around the coconut shell for more privacy...

this is a good...

my two cents worth -
been keeping fish for 35 years, apistos for 10. i have ada soil in two tanks, natural gravel in another. all tanks get 30-40% water changes per week. i use tap water with...

great looking fish, apistoguy! the borelli male is magnificent

it depends - do you want to be able to see the shrimp? i have shrimp in all my dwarf tanks, but they quickly adapt to become nocturnal. they hide all day under logs and in crevices, and then do...

looks great, and the fish are beautiful!

yeah, it's a dragon of damsel nymph. remarkably good at hiding, start out very very small, easily transported on plants. squish it and feed it to your biggest fish.

hi ben, yes, the lotus responds well to trimming - but through summer i remove the lower leaves and let the surface leaves take over - it creates a moody, dark tank, and the hatchets love swimming...

thanks for the comments, peeps!
substrate is pea-sized black gravel, i use fertiliser tabs as the tank is swords and lotus - both predominant root feeders. no co2, lights are powerglow t8s, 10...
