    What is the most "active" species of apisto?

    My Cacatoides were amazing and interactive (the super red) the Orange flash were not, they hid a lot.

    Hello from Czech Republic

    Welcome Thomas. Most apistos i bred I found that temp decides male to female ratio. Example, at 80 degrees i got 80 (about) percent males. At 72 degrees i got 60 percent females. I tried for 6 months to get my cacatuoides super reds, (an x2 male and an x4 female), to spawn with no success until...

    Apistogramma cacatuoides or Apistogramma agassizii? 120L long

    If you want to breed Apistos I had the best luck with no heater as their range is 60 degree F to 90 degree F. at 80 F you will get sporatic spawns with mostly males. I have found the cooler the temp the more females you will get. I have been breeding cichlids since 1983 and done years of...

    Apisto cacatouides breeding pair issues

    Yes that is true but what i am referring to is apistos are listed as for advanced aquarists. and the fact that there are more males available due to temp of spawns. and they are listed as 60 to 90 range temp, 6 to 9 PH, and a wider range of hardness than most other tropical fish. I have never...

    Apisto cacatouides breeding pair issues

    I am now breeding cichlid species that are extinct in the wild to keep them alive in the hobby. Example, I got the last wild caught pair of giant Kribs (P. Sacramontis) out of the niger delta before there was over 2.5 million barrels of crude oil dumped in the delta that destroyed their habitat...

    Apisto cacatouides breeding pair issues

    I can tell you how to get instant spawns and even male to female ratio. I removed the heater and got two spawns 28 days apart. Apisto sex ratio is determined by temp. At 78 degrees you may get a spawn once a year and mostly all males, at 72 degrees they are triggered to spawn and the ratio is...

    Are your Double reds cacatuoides or Agassizii? The term double red is overused in the hobby.
