thanks for the replies - and that rositae is stunning!!
now i just have to see what comes in in the next shipments - a couple of good fish shops are getting apistos in pre-xmas, so fingers crossed!
hi there gentle fish-folk,
i'm setting up a new tank and would like some opinions on the prettiest female apistos - the males are all much of a muchness to me, but i love the females in breeding colours, and would like a species where the female is strongly yellow and black.
i've kept...
it's a canon 400D EOS - but it's the boyf's, and i'm a point and shoot kinda guy. when the funds allow, i'm going to buy a new macro lens so i can take detailed shots. i take literally hundreds of shots and keep only dozens. but it keeps me off the streets!
the rams just hovered there for a...

hey fishfolk,
just thought i'd share some pics of my fish - most recent shots include:
- blue rams hovering over my tiger lotus
- apisto sp. hongsloi and agassizi double-red
- tank shots
- male splash tetras in breeding display (long shots, and please excuse the tank - it's still settling)...
it's got much more to do with your ability as an aquatic gardener than the agassizi's preferences - they just see cover, detours, and sight-line breaks.
i keep dwarfs in tanks crowded with amazon swords and lotus, or plush with stem plants, or anubis - anything that takes your fancy, unless...
i use eucalyptus branches and sticks in all my tanks - more as anchors for moss, height in the scape etc than as caves - i collect all branches dead but still on the tree and have never had a problem in 30 years. i have no experience with jacaranda (except using the prodigious flowers as mulch...
it sounds very much like it - the turn-about bullying and bright colours would suggest there are eggs. don't disturb things, just see what happens - but keep an eye on your sub females - they could be in for a hammering if the alpha has babies.
interesting. it's such a shame that people have been 'blinded' to subtlety - surely each of the apistos is gorgeous in it's own right - if only you take the time to appreciate it, feed it and keep it well. i actually prefer female apistos in good health to males, as i think the composition of...
um - surely this is because most sites, books etc recommend cacs and agies for beginners and people who maybe aren't so 'dedicated' to the species want fish that will live in community tanks etc? not defending them, but they may not even know about the other species...
the situation: a 2 ft breeding take, one pair of hongsloi. a 6ft tetra tank, also with a pair of hongsloi.
i'm picking up a pair of agassizi next week, and will either add them to the 6 foot OR put the 2 pairs of hongslois together in the 6 ft and put the agassizi in the 2 ft.
anyone...
