Well... I finally have the opportunity to set up a tank and find some apistos again. I managed to come across hat was sold to me as paucisquamis. I picked up 6 as they are young still with only 1 starting to show more adult features and colouring.
The only thing that has me scratching my head...
Hey everyone,
I have a single female A. Trifasciata from an old spawn that has just maturity. So I am looking for a pair or a lone male Tri, or am willing to sell her to another harem in or around Vancouver. In either case I would like to find a mate for her. She is full of roe! The parents...
Pics and params to come soon...
1.5 weeks ago I had a wild Aggie Flamenco male spawn with a tank raised female. Now there's about 30 fry that are free swimming. I already have them going on BBS... Hopefully I get a good survival rate
And today I found my Bitae's have spawned! Maybe about...
Well, while getting some live food from a LFS today (Btw... Daryl, if you need live blackworms or starter cultures of microworms head over to Noah's Pet Ark on W Broadway just west of Mcdonald St) I came across a tank with some Apistos in it. One was a female Cacatoides, another a male Eunotus...
So has anyone come across albino apistos? I currently have 2-3 completely white and pale trifasciata fry from my last spawn. Just wondering what others experiences with them are. It was odd cuz mum shoo-ed them away from the rest of the fry! I personally think they're pretty neat and I am...
Hey!
I have been doing a fair amount of research into these guys... I picked up a group of 6 juvies at LFS here in Vancouver. From what I've learned I should be seeing differences between males and females pretty shortly as they are all starting to hit 2"TL.
All the pics I have seen of...
My Trifasciata spawned once again the other day! So far the eggs look good. They definitely get in the mood when you do a large water change and let the temp drop a few degrees! And this time around I will be better prepared for rearing fry! I have 4-6 that have made it to about 3/4".... Next...
WOOHOO!!!! My first spawn! I tried pretty hard last year and nothing. And low and behold, I get these guys not more than 3 weeks ago and I've got 30-40 fry running around!! I cannot believe how tiny they are! I had my suspicions that they had spawned but I could not see any eggs. Just that the...
I sadly am moving back to Ontario for the summertime for family reasons, and then will be back in Vancouver come the end of August. As such, I would rather not move my fish across the country for just 4 months. If anyone in the Vancouver area would be able to care for a couple extra tanks I...
Hey, in searching out some Melgar females (of which I'm still trying to find any...:confused:) I've come across a number of fish lists with both 'Melgar' and 'Melgar jumbo'. I'm just wondering if there is a difference other than age and size of the fish. Or is it 2 different strains of the same...
How have you guys dealt with this stuff? It's just prolific and it covers the plants in about a week. I recently added a bit brighter light (I'm up to shy of 2W per gallon) and the stuff has been more prolific. This says to me that I've got high phosphate levels, which would make sense as I use...
Hey,
I was just wondering what seems to be the norm for behaviour with breeding aggies. As I am unable to get my hands on Cichlid Atlas 1 I was wondering if I might call on some of your experiences.
I have 2 pairs of double reds and the dominant male will harass (but not physically attack)...
I think he may be a loach of some kind, but I'm really not sure. He was the only one in with a few remaining Hill-Stream loaches that I picked up today. He has dual dorsal fins and his ventral fins are pretty much fused together to act like a suction cup so he can 'stick' to smooth objects. Here...
My female Nanay/Melgar has been spending the past few days hiding out at the top of the tank in behind my heater and filter supply. She has been getting a lot of attention from the male any other time she's at the bottom of the tank (to the point she either stays in her cave or gets nipped at)...
I was wondering if anyone has any advice on care and water conditions for this species. I am looking to get a pair in the new year and I'm having some trouble finding details for tank set-up on the net. As well, are the polygamous breeders or do they pair up? Any tips for someone looking to...
I think they are A Gossei as the male appears to be very similar to the picture of the male on the apisto list, but I'm just not sure as I'm new to the apisto world. I found this pair at the LFS and he wasn't sure exactly what they were. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This is the male...
