    Male unwilling to mate? Please help

    Hi Kazarak, I was running roughly 4-5 breeding pairs in an 8 ft, I had a 5 ft I started with that held 2-3 breeding pairs. Dithers can help, I used Hyphessobrycon amandae mostly. It's do-able for a pair in a smaller tank like most Apisto breeding but I went through too many specimens for my...

    Male unwilling to mate? Please help

    Just to add to what the others have said here, I bred Baenschi for a few years and found them to be extremely picky with their mates, you really need a very large tank and a small colony going to have decent results in my experience. Be vary cautious now with that male, I've had female Baenschi...

This would make sense in that the 'female' actually has a more male looking crest...

    Male or Females?

    Hi All, I'm new to the forum so hello :) I got these two Apistos about a 2 weeks ago now. They're very young and it was very hard to sex them in the shop but the LFS guy did his best. I was told they're Apistogramma Cacatouides (Sunburst / Orange Flash) which I believe is accurate. I...
