    Bloated Apisto agassizii fire red

    You're right it's just guessing but simply letting the fish die is not a way to go. I've never tried this method on apistogramma so your point is correct but I tried on numerous other fishes and their lifespan even increased so it doesn't have negative effects on liver or other organs. Epsom...

    Bloated Apisto agassizii fire red

    Hey, I'm no expert but I would try feeding it flakes soaked in epsom salt. Never really had problems with dropsy but I have successfully treated intestinal problems with this method (internal parasites and chronic bloating including). Hope this helps.

    Apistogramma borelli "opal" males issues

    Hey everyone, I purchased a pair of juvenile apistogramma borelli a month and a half ago specifically as a couple (male and female). Wasn't quite sure for a long time if the smaller/less dominant one is a female or just "female coded" as it didn't really show any signs of male appearance. I'm...
