    Female Borelli or Sub-Male?

    Yah locally bred is a must where I live.PH and hardness here are both high and without an RO system or chemical buffers it's impossible to lower. My Panduro's just bred in tap water, though the eggs didn't hatch or the Angels got the fry (55g tank)

    Female Borelli or Sub-Male?

    Yah my two nerites are very fertile lol. My water here in Alberta is hard, which I know isn't ideal but the breeder said both parents were tank raised and Bred in tap water here, so there's hope they may breed.

So I purchased these two apistos under the name "Borelli" and they look they part, I can't tell if my smaller one is female or a sub-male. It's way smaller than my male but still has the blue...

    Beginer Apisto

    Hello people, so I'm new to the board and I am looking into keeping either apistos, rams, or possible Keyhole's in my current tank. Now from reading on here I've seen that very fine gravel or sand is ideal for apistos and my current substrate is small gravel, maybe 1-3mm in diameter depending on...

    New guy from Canada

    Hey Guys and Girls, I've recently cycled a 24"x12"x15.5" 16 gallon bow tank and am strongly leaning towards putting a pair of apistos in as my center piece. Now I have no experience with SA/CA cichlids or dwarf cichlids at all (I have had Africans) and I was wondering with my current stock in...
