    Hello from Marrowstone Island, WA State USA.

    I have never lost a dither fish that way. My dither fish are generally N. marginatus. To quick to be ambushed by a cockatoo.

    Hello from Marrowstone Island, WA State USA.

    To be really safe I would not put the male back until you rehome the juveniles. Except during the six week post spawning period I keep the fish by itself or in a pair. The only other fish I have in my A. cacatuoides tanks are dither fish.

    What are some of the observable morphological differences between Pv. kribensis and Pv. taeniatus? I read taeniatus are smaller. Is that true?

    Anomalochromis thomasi: good fit for me?

    I use my RODI water for South American and West African fish. I use my well water with a TDS of 450 ppm for a lake Tanganyikan tank. The n. multifasciatus are really a treat. I also keep j. transcriptus Gombe and insular dwarf a. compressiceps. It’s a terrific hard water tank. You should head in...

    Species recommendations

    I invested in a RODI system so I could raise various species of Apistogramma. When I used my tap water with a GH around 225 ppm my cockatoo didn’t live more than one year.

    Wild-caught Apistogramma d39

    Are you recommending prophylactic treatment or only if symptoms emerge during quarantine?

    Hello from Marrowstone Island, WA State USA.

    I’m on my 3rd generation of orange flash cockatoo. They are a lot of fun. I suggest some dither fish. I have also observed that the offspring make for better parents when left with their mother for about 6 weeks. I would remove the father instead of the fry.

    Book recommendations

    Is there a book about Apistogramma that has good color photos of many of the species? I’m looking for something like the William T Innes classic, Exotic Aquarium Fishes but focused on Apistogramma.
