I was wondering what people do when one of an adult breeding pair of fish (especially an older pair past their prime) is widowed. I currently have 2 widows and one widower (3 different species) taking up an entire tank each. they are too old to sell and likely well past their breeding prime. Do...
I have seen discussions here in the past where some people have had problems with feeding bloodworms to Apistos and others have not. I am coming to believe that some species do not tolerate them well.

I am a newly-returning hobbyist who as a teenager had bred about 20 species of common cichlids.

I'm now interested in trying my hand at some more advanced species and techniques, and have targeted Apistogramma species as my first attempts.
