    Breeding Ivancara Adoketa

    Thanks for the reply. I was actually thinking about moving them to a 40 breeder (the 20g seems a tad small for them at this point) and introducing sand substrate. Like I said, I have no problem getting them to spawn, I just have problems getting the eggs to hatch, and those few eggs I can get...

    Breeding Ivancara Adoketa

    Question for all of you how have had successful spawns of I. Adoketa. I've had an F2 pair for maybe a year and a half. In that time, they have spawned numerous times--I can fairly reliably trigger them at this point--but, I never get any viable fry. When I check the eggs in the tank that the...

    Question about breeding Agassizii Double Red

    Quick question: Can or will Apisotgramma Agassizii double red spawns pop out fire reds? I had my first spawn of double reds a little while back, and now that I am growing them out, what I thought were females actually are beginning to look to me like super or fire reds. The adult female of...

    Agreed. And thanks for responding. I do, in fact, sell on fish ebay and other places. Last year I could not breed enough A. Cacatuoides to keep up with the demand. This year, the demand is much, much lighter. I chalk this up partially to the heat wave going here right now, but also because I...

    Looking for Trifaciata females

    Confused by the terms triple red, quad red, super red, etc.

    I have to admit that the terms for Apistogramma Cacatuoides such as quad and super red confuse the heck out of me. I have been breeding A. Cacs for the past couple years, working to get them to spawn true with nice deep orange coloration and patterning in the dorsal, caudal, anal, and ventral...

    Is my Cacatuoides orange male or female?

    I've had females with a decent amount of coloration in their fins. I've also had my share of "sneaker males" where I was convinced the specific fish was female, but when separated from the rest of the fish, it transformed into male. So, I'd say that you just have to wait it out and see how they...
