    Agressive male apisto

    Welcome to the sight Hugo, If she is not ready to bred but he is, he could stress her enough to kill her, I would remove the young female to another tank to grow up some more.

    As you pick/crush them you could also add a piece of squash or other veggie, I have used homemade snail traps to good success.

    Tank full of brooding color females

    Good thought MacZ, there was about 5 male Borellii in with them and did not think to mention it being a different species, but hormones/pheromones does sound plausible.

    Need help figuring out what killed my female apistogramma cacatuoide

    Too many fish and there very active, apisto's like calm tanks. IMO yes, Cacs. get fair size for a dwarf cichlid but if only to breed and remove the male after fry I have had good luck, but stay on top of your water changes.

    best ph for breeding macs?

    Most of the time that is true but in two of mine the females come out to eat and will stay out for a while, I have no other fish in those two tanks. But in other tanks I also have no other fish in with them and the females dont come out till fry time.

    best ph for breeding macs?

    PH of 6.9 should be fine for tank raised, that's what my mac. tanks are at and they breed more than I want them to. As yellow as she is are you sure there is no eggs or fry?

    cacatuoides double red Add Tag

    If you haven't already, I would remove the male of female before one of them winds up dead. What size tank? At one point she looked like she wanted to breed but why he is black, stress maybe for some reason? I have males that want to breed and chase the females but not like that.

    Male parental care in Borellii

    I would keep a close eye on them, with apisto's I have had them turn [the female] into hell on wheels overnight. I got three hoping to get a male for my 2 1/2 yr. old female, two did not make it and the one that did I thought was a female I'm starting to second guess as now it may be showing...
