I kept mine in pH 7.0 @ 79 degrees. They bred like rabbits! They spawned inside a ceramic brick or on a flat vertical rock of my man made cave.
Mine were extremely aggressive while spawning so I would also recommend a tank to themselves. Maybe some Swordtails for dithers/targets. I second...
Thanks Rolo!
I've had them for about a month now. That female has looked like that since the day I put her in the tank. My other female is not nearly that colorful usually. She normally looks a dull yellow/brownish color but has gone bright yellow like that from time to time. I have read...
Apistogramma Caetei (edit) or maybe Rotpunkt
Finally got some good shots! When I first posted about them here, someone mentioned that I may not have true Caetei since it was recently discovered that there may be 3 (or more) separate sp under the Caetei name.
Just wondering if anyone has...
Sad to say my male is just not into it. Both females are doing their best to win him over but he keeps chasing them away. I've been stuffing them with frozen frozen brine shrimp and blood worms the last week or so and stepped up the water changes. Still no luck :frown:
I am going to get some...
The bigger female is now looking very yellow. The smaller female has been bright yellow since I put her in the tank. The bigger one and the male seem to be guarding a cave and chasing the other fish out including the smaller female. Interestingly though, the smaller female is helping chase away...

Anyway, it was a ittle more than I wanted to spend but I think...
Very good news! Thanks for the input.
I am going tonight to see if I can get some new plants and dithers to try to coax them out. They are very shy. I still have about 5 HRP babies in with them and the Apistos are really letting them know who's boss. Hopefully, some small schooling...
Hee hee. That was me :)
Now who are you? Are you the one I started bidding against or the one that started bidding after the first person dropped out?
I really like these little guys and once my wife saw them, it was a done deal. Was hoping to get them a little cheaper. I wouldn't...
Thanks Lisa! Another person sent me this link as well. Thanks for getting things started for me.
Just picked up a trio of Apistogramma Caetei at an auction. These are my first Apisto's. Any tips and tricks appreciated. There really isn't too much info on this species online. I've...
