    Apistogramma iniridae?

    Hey all I returned the female and got a new one on Tuesday and now have eggs, this is quite surprising and I really didn’t expect spawning this quickly.

    Apistogramma iniridae?

    Hello all, I just yesterday aquarired a pair of what I think is either uaupesi, or iniridae. They were sold as wild caught “hongsloi” which is incorrect and I saw some others in a tank with wild caught “hoignei” which I believe to have been macmasteri, I purchased a male and what I thought was...

    what to do about Macmasteri fry

    thanks for the responses, I have a 2.5 gallon bare bottomed tank, a 3.5 gallon bare bottomed tank and a 33 gallon aquarium with some sand on the bottom all with sponge filters, I'm planning on moving the male to the 33 gallon tank as I already have a divider in it so he can be in a different...

    what to do about Macmasteri fry

    Further Update: My male macmasteri has taken all of the fry of which there are about 25 still, he drives the female away when she comes close to them. yet seeks hurt out to display at her when she hides. The fry are about 1cm now and the female is not in breeding dress, yesterday was the first...

    Apisto ID

    very pretty fish, but i think it's a young male apistogramma eunotus, definitely not a macmasteri. Do you have images of the female?

    what to do about Macmasteri fry

    They have taken bbs since they became free swimming, they are now about a week and a half old and venture quite far from the female. I have been feeding bbs 3-5 times daily and they have grown quite rapidly and are now at .5 cm. I didn’t end up removing the male because he is not aggressive...

    Will my tank mates be okay?

    With that many cichlids in a tank like that you could have a disaster just waiting to happen, your tank is very barren even though it has rocks and a piece of driftwood i highly recommend at least tripling it. With most species of dwarf cichlid that tank in my opinion should be at least 70%...

    Will my tank mates be okay?

    are the rams your sole dwarf cichlids in this aquarium or are the apistos in the aquarium as well?

    what to do about Macmasteri fry

    Hello everyone, my macmasteri pair have finally got it correct and the eggs have hatched! :D I have about 20 free swimming fry in my aquarium, this is all very exciting for me but the female gets very distracted, coming up to the glass and trying to chase the male etc. I know this is the first...

    Sanity check on potential stocking...

    The biotodoma should be fine in a slow current, not completely stagnant, also they should be fine in those temps, even anywhere from 76-85 should work well too.

    Sanity check on potential stocking...

    I would do maybe 10 cupido and 8 winemilleri if it were my tank, and yes i didn't make it very clear but they (Biotodoma Cupido) may be a better option than the threadfins which can get quite large and may go for the tetras if not for the sterbai. You may want to go for a more robust corydoras...

    Tank mate for apistogramma borelli

    Sounds perfect for a pair of borelii or even just a singular fish. The chillies should be fine with more timid species like the borelii.

    Sanity check on potential stocking...

    biotodoma cupido are a smaller geophagine species that may work better with the dwarf cichlids, they are also very pretty fish and are a true blackwater species.

    dither fish question for Dicrossus filamentosus

    In a 12 gallon i wouldn't risk it, fry predation with neons and other such tetras is a common occurrence, i'm not sure if they ate the discrossus eggs or not but they likely would eat the fry. Many dwarf cichlid keepers prefer nannostomus species as dithers because they are less predatory and...
