A. sp. 'Abacaxis'
Wow Mike! that's impressive… my big cf cacatuoides male that got the black spots has spots like this male on a video, few and small spots. Now I separated him from the wc female that brought in the spots and he had spawned with another cf. female. Let's see... I'd be curious to see weather he...- Robi

A. sp. 'Abacaxis'
They continued to have a happy long life... these are just tiny spots, sporadic and few. I am not concerned, just saw this tread and thought I mention it...- Robi

A. sp. 'Abacaxis'
I lean towards infectious (? viral) cause. I had several Apistos from Peru with these black spots and lately I started seeing it in some of the captive tank raised Apistos, that did not have black spots previously for sure. The most extreme example was when I paired off a czech triple...- Robi

Apistogramma abacaxis and/or wilhelmi
Thanks Mike for the detailed chronology and location description. I'm a little sad… when you wrote that this color morph has been described I thought, thats fine… but then you wrote this is actually the most commonly imported form nowadays… thats a crush! o_O … just kidding, I am always eager to...- Robi

They tolerate well the pair of rams since they are not breeding, the water is too cold for them 76-78 F, they are pretty social. I just use them as ditter. If they would become a pain they are gone.- Robi

Apistogramma abacaxis and/or wilhelmi
As far as I know A. wilhelmi and abacaxis are the same species, from different locations. The wilhelmi has a clear/speckled caudal fin, the abacaxis has a red caudal fin. So my story begins with a wild caught pair (loc. unknown, mixed locations). A prolific pair, spawned multiple times. The...- Robi

Apistogramma hongsloi female breeding agression
I agree with Darrel, you need a drift wood in middle, bunch of java moss on the bottom and 2-3 more caves to divide up the tank spatially. 1 male and 1 female in the tank if you intend to breed them, they get super aggressive around breeding, might kill ditter fish or other Apistos in the tank...- Robi

Info on 'sneaker' males
Patience my friend... You are doing the right things... Usually the tank raised specimens take a couple of more tries before they finally they get it right.- Robi

Eremnopyge marital issues
Quick follow up on my 20G long eremno tank… I have actually 3 females, they're ALL with fry. Interestingly the 1st one (previously on picture, now picture.1), is guarding almost juvenile babies and refusing to spawn again with the male. The other 2 females (picture 2) are carrying decent amount...- Robi

Info on 'sneaker' males
My (also Check/captive) Hongsloi 2 male harassed the female just like yours, until she came out with fry and started taking care of them. At that point he stopped being a jerk and has turned to be more supportive, spawns when the female is up to it, then leaves her alone. Pretty much now the...- Robi

Hello from Florida!
I agree with MikeM, I had many julii and panda cory's with my Apistos initially and decided to get rid of them eventually, they like to feast on the small fry and they are fearless. Other option is to take the cory's out from the Apisto tank if you see they laid eggs, but then you disturb the...- Robi

Eremnopyge marital issues
Thanks MickeM, very helpful comments! About stealing the fry, you were right! The dominant female, stole the sub-dominant's fry. She was in what I call brood-frenzy for a week, but eventually gave it up and I think she'll spawn again. I am considering moving her to a different tank. I'll see...- Robi
