    Thinking of sizing up my tank

    I've been wondering about the 120 x 50 Thing, From what i have heard the rule is 1 square foot per (dwarf) Cichlid, 30 x 30, so basically 1 10g floor per Apisto, but you recomend more, is this an experience thing or more of a hunch, wondering for cross comparision

    Fry safe apisto tankmates

    Fry safe apisto tankmates

    I dont have any experience with breeding apistos but I would say that a good idea is Breeding and then making it into a display tank once you're done with breeding and raising fry.

    Thinking of German Rams would like more knowledge

    It's not antagonistic, its dissecting an argument, your argument being that the fish would be lonely implies that you think of them in human terms, his point makes simple sense, right now you are the one choosing to take it as an offense. Also fact of the matter is that having an adult female...

    Theorycrafting : 29g Community Tank

    From my understanding a ridge of sorts, about 6 inches high could basically work as a divider in miniature (sight break). Also, this is thankfully a hypothetical and the main reason I am trying to figure out how many borelli I can fit in my setups with out endangering the fish is simply...

    Theorycrafting : 29g Community Tank

    2 thoughts, 1, what about 2 females with a divider, like i currently have in the 10g (though one is male). And Honestly I thought that a 20g footprint is enough for 2 males, seeing as they are comfortable alone in tanks smaller then 10g, do you think that It could actually work with 2 if I...

    Theorycrafting : 29g Community Tank

    Hmm... makes sense, do you think 3 females could work in a heavily planted 10g, thinking that I would keep 6 fish total (including the parents) 3 male and 3 female, do you think that could work?

    Theorycrafting : 29g Community Tank

    Oh ok, well I guess scrap that idea, I do wonder, what are ways to prevent them from breeding WITHOUT impeding quality of life

    Theorycrafting : 29g Community Tank

    Simple, Quick Filters. With enough circulation i believe fertilization does become impossible if i am remembering right. I do have a 37 that is currently running, (though as is it most definitely is no place for a cichlid) and if any fish in particular are being harried I plan to keep the 10g...

    Theorycrafting : 29g Community Tank

    The plan is to breed the fish (im actually thinking I will do it in the 29), then grow out the fry, then sell off most of them (keep a few and probably the parents) and then turn the 29 into a planted community tank, basically a more community oriented, non breeding version of Samala's Borellii...

    Theorycrafting : 29g Community Tank

    My 10g has somthing the fry need, Malm, I don't have any starter food, just BBS for when they are big enough, so at the start they will probably eat the small crustaceans in the tank that thrive off of it

    Theorycrafting : 29g Community Tank

    So I plan to breed my A.borellii pair in the near future, obviously a 10g is not enough for 10-30 some fry, and I will need a grow out tank. Thankfully, I have an empty 29g tank, which I plan to use for growing out. After I grow out the fry I plan to keep a few, say 3-6 of them, Obviously I will...

    ID Apistogramma viejita?

    My A.Borellii (tank bred), at the very least are highly determined to try to eat the snails in their tank, they never do seem to actually get the snails though, maybe im just not noticing any empty shells. The behavior mimics this a lot. though when striking I notice that for a second the male...

    Biotop Tank Mates for Borellii/Trifaciata

    Oh crap I got them confused with macmasteri, how do you even confuse trifaciata and macmasteri. *facepalms*

    cacatuoides in a 36 gallon bowfront?

    Personally, seems like a great tank for 1 caucatoides male, he'll add a lovely spark to it. though, you might have to change diet, If you look through this forum, bloodworms can be dangerous. I personally just use brineshrimp.

    Biotop Tank Mates for Borellii/Trifaciata

    This is a testament to our community, we have revived a dead thread that only had 1 post into an active conversation. Well done Apistogramma.com! Also I do have a thought, if Borelli and Trifaciata are morphologically similar, and live in the same drainage basin (the paraguay), do you think...

    Shimp Compatibility with A.Borellii female

    Im honestly thinking of using the 10 gallon for a moina culture instead, but I am wondering if I could use a 5 gal bucket for that

    Shimp Compatibility with A.Borellii female

    I am wondering, would shimp be compatible with a female A.Borellii, I know that they most definitley are not safe around the male, but is there a chance with the female.
