Hi! I just ordered a pair of A. Borelli "Bella Union" from Aquabid last week. The fish arrived safe and sound yesterday. However I have a suspicion that I have 2 females rather than a true pair. Can anyone confirm? They havent changed much from this coloration since they arrived. Are they just...
Hi all,
Just yesterday I received a beautiful pair of wild blue Apistogramma cacatuoides from Neil here at apistogramma.com. I can't believe it, but it looks to me like they are already beginning breeding behavior!
The female spent her whole first day in the new tank exploring, and...
Hi again everyone,
I recently posted regarding a tank of supposed P. humilis that I saw at my LFS. After digging around a bit online, I've found that the fish were not humilis as they were labeled, but actually a tank full of female Pelvicachromis signatus.
I really loved the color on...
Hi all,
On a recent trip to my LFS I noticed a tank full of young Pelvicachromis humilis "Kawese". They were stunningly beautiful fish - all a deep plum/purple color, with streaks of neon blue on the cheeks, and a patch of iridescent rainbow scales behind their pectoral fins. All the fish...
Hi all,
I recently started a log to document the process of setting up my first aquarium in over four years. It will be a planted 75 gallon dwarf cichlid setup, supplemented by two Nano Cubes for fry and quarantine tanks.

Hi all,
I'm hoping to breed a pair of a. cacatuoides "yellow gold" in the near future, in a heavily-planted, 75gal community apisto setup (a. macmasteri, m. ramirezi, neon tetras, dwarf gourami, corydoras or SAE).
Two questions... first, do I have to worry about the corydoras bothering...
Hi all,
I'm planning on stocking my newly-acquired 65 gallon with a trio or 2:3 ratio of A. cacatuoides y/g (like the subject says, the triple red genotype). I'm looking to breed these fish, and I know that they are rather unpredictable as far as fry YG phenotype ratio, deformities...
Hi all,
I'm still getting ready to take the plunge... I'm setting up a 29gal dwarf cichlid setup this summer and I'm planning on trying live plants for the first time.
I'm planning on outfitting the 29gal with a twin tube flourescent hood containing one Zoo Med Tropic Sun bulb (5500K)...
Hi,
I just read an article today that made mention of the use of heat coils in planted aquariums. I've never heard of anything like that before! Are they necessary? I'll be using a 29gal planted tank with 1/2 Flourite, 1/2 gravel with a thin sand layer on top.
If the heat coils are...
