Its pretty disgusting that commercial breeding has gone so far that, in some cases, we can no longer distinguish between genders...
If i was ever going to get A. cacatuoides they would be F1 or Wild.
The one you are talking about does not look like a female. First, the overall caudal, dorsal and anal fin colour, dont look like they would be from a female.
Also, the ray extensions on the front and back of the dorsal dont come in females, aswell as the caudal.
Not an expert in sexual...
How about same species? I guess it depends but as i said in my original post, im mainly interested in A. agassizii, A. bitaeniata, A trifaciata and A baenschi to name a few. There are of course many others i would keep other than those...
My Agas bred like rabbits when i had aquasoil, rainwater and almond leaves, so i would consider that "success". Would lots of plants process the nutrients that raise conductivity?
What i call "fine river gravel" is more coarse sand in size and texture, its in the creeks and streams around my area.
Thanks and yeh after a bit of snooping it seems like they aren't what im after for this tank. I might put the idea of different dwarfs aside for a bit and focus on apistos.
The idea of having 2 males and 4 females seems appealing, im just not sure whether it would cause territorial problems. The...
Thanks for the tips. I would like them to breed, because that's most of the fun with Cichlids, watching breeding behaviour. Im just not bothered with keeping and raising all the fry.
I really like the look of Ivanacara adoketa, so if they are available to ship to me they are an option. Could i...
Hey all,
I currently have a standard 4ft 200L (55gal +/-) that has been a hard water, Tanganyikan setup for about 5 years now, and i want to convert it to a soft water, planted Apisto display.
This is probably not the best section to put this thread in but anyway...
I was wondering whether i...
By the looks of that it hasn't damaged the base of the fin, so this should under normal circumstances grow back. I've seen much worse fin wounds than that recover
Keep water quality good, and provide lots of cover for her to escape the male and she should be right as rain...
Not gross really, considering that people eat caviar. much the same, but wouldnt they be really small?
just destroy the eggs, or u can raise them and see what they look like, what species is the orange flash? im guessing agassizii, if they are the same species just different colour morphs...
