    substrate excavation infront of cave?

    hey all, my pair of macmasteri has a chosen cave (i think), there is a divit infront of it, its maybe 1 cm deep and 4 cm wide. I have seen these created to hold bolivian ram fry, by bolivian rams parents. I was not aware that this was done by apistos especially macs. Will they move the fry into...

    best ph for breeding macs?

    So, the female is the same colour as before and just swimming with the male all over the aquarium rarely more than a few fish lengths away. i have a bristlenose pleco in the aquarium, i thought that he might scare them but not eat the eggs because they spawn in caves usually. is he the cause of...

    best ph for breeding macs?

    She is not being harassed and most of the time she stays at the middle of the aquarium, she just comes up to the glass inquisitively quite often. also she is at the top of the aquarium hunting for cherry shrimp babies in ball of floating plant matter. Another thing is when I put my hand in the...

    best ph for breeding macs?

    if there were eggs would she be at the top of the water column and exploring? i just thought they stuck near the cave like other fish i've bred before.

    Hello everyone, i have had a pair of macmasteri in a "breeding aquarium" with a lazy Guppy with back problems. i've had the fish in there for 2 months and have multiple caves and hides for them. My ph currently is 6.9 i am wondering because macmasteri are an apistogramma that is very...

    Compatability of Macmasteri

    First off sorry for your loss, also is this a 20 gallon tall or a 20 gallon long? This matters a lot, as the footprint is much more important than water volum.

    Only 4 left

    to answer the question about the rainbows asked a long time ago, one is most certainly a p.luminatus male. they look more like males around their own species i find. The other 2 are p.frucatus females from what i can see in the photo.

    What to do about male Agassizii chasing female?

    Thanks for the reply, how long should the pair be out of the aquarium before I reintroduce them, also my community aquarium with Bolivan rams has different parameters, so could i use a 15 gallon rubermaid temporarily? i will move the tetras and corydoras

    What to do about male Agassizii chasing female?

    Hello everyone I have been lurking on this website for almost a year now. I have gotten some Apistogramma agassizii “fire gold var.” I bought a pair for my 20h, it’s a community aquarium with a few tetra. I could move most of my fish to a bolivian ram aquarium if need be. The aquarium is heavily...
