    Multiple apistos in a 65 gallon

    To be honest, your tank is pretty large for dwarf cichlids, so you have more room for manoeuvre. All male would look nicer IMO and without the presence of females, they will display to each other but I doubt it would lead to any serious violence. Rams though, will behave more naturally in a...

    Multiple apistos in a 65 gallon

    I don't think you can go to a store and pick out the gender you want 100% of the time. Apistos are often sold as pairs. Also cacatuoides red and yellow are the same species so that may cause more aggression. IMO you should reconsider the stock list. Having pairs doesn't necessarily guarantee...

    Teaniatus moliwe won't spawn

    It works for most Pelvics. I use mirrors intended for bird cages. Don't leave it in the tank for more than an hour or the fish get wise to it.

    Can't get them to eat non-live food.

    Have you tried microworm? Very easy to culture and potentially lasts for ever.

    Have you tried adding a small mirror?

    Pelvicachromis sp. aff. subocellatus

    They are lovely fish. I'm surprized that no one has mentioned it yet but they have now been formally described. Pelvicachromis silviae is the new name. Described by Anton Lamboj and named after his wife.

    You can mix Apistos IME but not permanently. I have successfully mixed Apistos with other Dwarf cichlids such as Bolivian rams, Laetacara etc

    Tank stocking...

    Buy a young pair of apistos you like the look of and combine with tetras/pencilfish or other dithers and maybe some nice corydoras or similar... Lot of wood, leaves and maybe a coconut cave and you have apisto heaven :-)

    Name change?

    I've recently returned to apistogramma.com after not using it for some time. In that time I've started to use my real name on other forums as I am involved in two cichlid clubs and I find it is now pointless and a hindrance to have an anonymous username due to the advent of Facebook. Can I...

    Generalist fish keeper looking to get better with soft water dwarf cichlids.

    Kind of what I was saying ;) Going back to the OP. What conductivity is needed for the Taeniacara?

    Generalist fish keeper looking to get better with soft water dwarf cichlids.

    It's like deja vu all over again Darrel! I know that these fish come from extremely soft water, but is it really necessary in captivity? I bred F1 A. irinidae in about 60ppm but most Apistos (IME) spawn in about 150ppm. Is it necessary to reduce the hardness to <20ppm?

    Surely 75-125ppm is soft enough for the majority? Bit of CO2 should take care off the pH.

    Good evening from the UK

    Welcome Chris. Feel free to pm me as I live in Cambridge and I know a few apisto breeders.

    Brand new Mergus Cichlid Atlas Volume 1

    I have one for sale, I'm looking for £60 (sterling) plus shipping. I have no idea how much that would be to the US!

    Hello from South Wales.

    You will find a lot of good advice here, but why not join the BCA? We have a strong welsh contingent and meet up twice a year in Redditch (surely not too far from Newport). Search for us on Facebook or join the forum (linked in my sig)

    Hello from Cornwall UK

    Hello, welcome to the forum. Nijseni and Parilus are both challenging species - good luck! What's the water like in Cornwall?

    S. tinanti LFS has...

    I had 5 tinanti in a 48x18x15 with congo tetras and syno cats. Two paired up and spawned without too much aggro. They mix well with Pelvicachromis, riverine Lamprologus and even Hemichromis IME.
