    Apistogramma agassizii unknow location

    Location as in what specific area of south america?? Is it a wild variety? If not then the location would be your friends fish tank for all we know, not trying to be rude in any way.

    Culturing live foods?

    @Happyfins i have read that blackworms rarely breed sexually that they actually split by breaking apart. So Course/ sharp edged gravel would be a good idea, id just use a very thin layer. Then id put some stong air bubblers in, keeping them in the gravel or right above it, the aggresive bubbles...

    Apistogramma agassizii or cacatuoides

    i guess ill look into grabbing a 20 gallon long, and just transferring the plants and everything over. With a standard 20 gallon long I should be perfectly capable of getting a trio of aggazii right? or should I still stick to just a pair at that size (noted there harem breeders not pairing fish)

    Apistogramma agassizii or cacatuoides

    interesting.. I have heard tons of people say A.Cacatuoides would do fine as a pair in a 10 gallon since there not very aggressive. Perhaps the times I heard about were just for spawning purposes and then they were separated. I definitely would not put a trio in the 10 either. iv never...

    Culturing live foods?

    Chris i dont have much experiance with grendals, i use micro worms. A pretty standard live food feeding is normally every other day with mine, granted the micro worms are mostly for fry (if i ever get any). Im thinking of starting a blackworm colony in a spare 10 gallon, those i would feed every...

    Cave Suggestion

    Yes however the pottery caves open up on the inside right? While a pvc pipe is the same 1 inch throughout. I guess I'll just have wait and see. If they don't like it I'll just toss in larger pvc pipes.

    PH Issues in biotype

    Thanks for all the info! Iv decided to just use the 0kh water and see how my plants react. I'm using mostly crypt plants with a back row of temple plants, and some Red Tigard Lotus. If the plants start melting due to low kh I'll just have to get a second tank for a actual biotype and use the...

    Cave Suggestion

    So i have some Apistogramma cacatuoides and dont like the look of pots and coconuts in my planted tank. I have read that PVC pipe buried can work obviously at a slight angle so its mostly flat. I was told 1inch pvcp would be good, that seams kinda small for a female to spawn in and fit in does...

    PH Issues in biotype

    The little apisto

    I thought he said its 52cm by 30cm. There is 30.48 cm in a foot. Maybe I'm miss understanding what he is saying

    The little apisto

    thats about 2 feet by 1foot. I'm assuming its about 1 foot high as well. Sounds like maybe a 20 gal Long?? just a guess. I'm pretty sure you can keep most apistos in that size. How many you keep and what other fish are also big factors tho
