    apisto cacatuoides eggs turning white

    Ive actually seen dwarfs fertilise from outside and its a bit hit and miss.. Most of the time it does result in a successful spawning but if the distance between eggs and cave entrance is to great it may well effect fertility. This is my favourite video ive ever taken.. I felt really lucky...

    Congochromis dimidiatus spawned..

    Hi Slimbolen, there are no secrets in my fishroom and i freely share info with fellow hobbiests.. The main "secret" is simple, water changes and plenty of them! The breeding fish are setup on a 18 tank rack, each tank measures 24x12x12 and holds around 50 litres of water after...

    frequency of breeding and genetics

    If you go into your user profile you can add where your from so that people can easily see.. Its easier to answer questions about sourcing fish if we know where you are, i for example have some very nice white gold cacs at the moment but am in the UK..

    Congochromis dimidiatus spawned..

    Really excited today, the Congochromis finally gave me freeswimming fry and a good number too...Id guess around 60-80 fry are freeswimming from this morning, the parents are still pretty drab in broodcare and have kept the fry towards the back or middle hence the crummy pics. This is a species...

    Apistogramma sp 'White seam' ???????

    Hi all, this fish is a sole contaminant of a recent batch of Dicrossus i ordered from Botoga, Columbia.. Ive enclosed a few pics of the young fish(aprox 20mm) and done a bit of my own research, Apistogramma sp 'white seam' seems to be the closest match i can find and the location seems to fit...

    Lets Talk Dicrossus

    Ha ha, its not a war although i do tend to upset a few people by standing up for what i believe in.. No my intention was to get more actual keepers of Dicrossus involved in the discussion, what im looking for is someone out there who has had dicrossus change sex.. It really bugs me that...

    Poecilocharax weitzmani

    Ive had these fish several times but unfortunately never bred them, i aim to try again when i find them available! They are blackwater species, drop the PH below 6, ideally around 5 and keep the water nice and soft.. Add in some tannins to stain the water brown and use a sand substrate with...

    male Apistogramma?

    Im guessing your fairly new to keeping Apistos?? Thats fine, the male is usually the more dominant fish over the females until they breed, then the females will turn bright yellow and defend their own little hiding place with great ferocity!! The males are quite often pushed to the back of...
