How old do apisto C's have to be before you can sex them? I have a spawn about 5 months old and can only tell the sex of a few of them. Is it normal for some of the males not to "show" they are males till the dominant one is removed?
No digital camera so I can't post a pic, but here is the ?
I am raising a spawn of apisto C fry and at first they all looked female. They are almost 4 months old and some of them are starting to loose the black ventrals....changing to a grey and get more colour in the dorsal fin. So far it...
I have a spawn of apisto C (only about 12 or so) just over 3 months old. Any idea how old the females will be before they start to breed?
I think this spawn is all females (temp was a bit high as they were raised with blue rams) but I've lost my original female and want an idea of when they...
My female apisto C passed away not long ago, but I've been raising up 2 spawns from my pair.
Question is how old or how big should the females be before I can add 2 of them in with Dad. Right now they are about 3 months old and I can tell the ones with solid black ventrals (females) and are...
I have a pair of both blue rams and Apitso C. in their own tanks. My question is if you want them to parent raise do you leave the tank light on 24/7 after they have layed eggs?
Both pairs eat their eggs. If I don't catch the rams laying they will eat them before morning (most often they...
I notice that many of you have not noticed your fry till they are swimming around with Mom so they would be a few days free swimming by that point.
I pulled a spawn of rams as my pair eat their eggs and have done so for about 8 months :( and some are free swimmers now, others just about ready...
They layed eggs again today. So far the pair have eaten the last 3-4 spawns. The first few were in a tank with some BN plecos and angels (no extra tank space and they were in QT) The last 2 were in a tank of their own with 2 small guppies as dither fish. I don't know if the male was eating...
My A. Cac. layed eggs yesterday. Not bright pink??? This is their first spawn since I got them so, if they survive I am wondering if they follow ram eggs for hatching ie 48 hours or so to wigglers, then 5 days till free swimmers who will need bbs.
Thanks
Hi! Not new to the forum, but haven't been on for about 6 or more months (didn't have a pair of apistos, so I sold off my one remaining)
I noticed there is no buy and sell area. Has there ever been or do some of you members just trade around?
Would there be any interest in such a...
I just picked up a pair of apisto C. at a local auction....got 3 last year and only 1 survived, but they were very young.. This time I got a male and female that seem to be showing signs of pre spawning. If put in a tank of their own will they make good parents? Or like angels and rams do...
I have a female cacatuoides and would like to try and breed some. I need to get ahold of a male and would prefer a double red. If anyone is breeding them in my area and has a male for sale please send me a pm.
I have 2 Cacatuoides (both female I think) can they be put in a community tank with angelfish? The gravel in the tank looks like crushed granite (very heavy and sharp edges) would that be ok for the Cacatuoides or what substrate should they have? Right now they are in a bare bottomed tank...
I have had my apisto cacatuoides for almost 3 weeks and have one that is swimming in spirals and breathing very hard. Is there anything I can do for it.
They were purchased at an auction and are quite yound. Currently in a 20g with some panda cory. I have been feeding flakes and decap...
