That is interesting thank you both. I'll make sure I keep changing the water.
Do either of you, or others, have any photos/pictures of breeding tank setups? Or even normal set-ups for apistogramma? Would be very interested to see and help me on my new larger tank project!
Thanks
Thanks Mike. I have moved the neon back with its shoal in my community tank now.
How often do Apistogramma Cacatuoides spawn? Will keep pampering them to hopefully spur them on again.... It is just the pair in the tank to themselves now, a 60 litres that is 3/4 full (not sure why but someone...
Thank you Apistogramma. That is interesting feedback.
I have taken one of the 'females' out now and have kept just a pair of certain male and female in their. The female had been guarding her cave for quite a while and is yellow in colour however she has now come out of her cave and is...
I have now changed to a sponge filter and already notice the fish swimming around more freely and less cautiously.
I changed the gold male to a new male from my LFS as I think the gold cac was still a little junior - what are your thoughts?
Fish 1
Also any ideas on whether this is...
Thank you Mike.
I think I may move the juvenile out of this tank then, I can see what you mean with the 3rd dorsal. What are your thoughts on the filter?
Also it seems to be very 'crowed' with caves and plants, is this better or should I have an open swimming area?
Thanks
Thank you for comments.
I have changed as you advised (caves, plants and temp), and have some more pictures below. My tank is 60 litres (60cm long) is this ok for 1 male and 2 females or should I just have 1 of each? The male is starting to chase the smaller female however the larger female...
Hi All,
I have been trying to breed a trio of apistogramma cacatuoides and was hoping the experts here could help with some advice on how to encourage breeding but also in identifying I actually have 1 male and 2 females!
Below are pictures of the fish, tank has 3 caves and a dark sand...
Thank you for your help. I really would like my big trigon 190 litre corner tank to be full of apistos and some cardinals and other fish. Though of course to have a few more species would be more fun! Which fish would you recommend or what can I keep here:
Harlequins
Pensuins
Bulldog Pleco...
Has anyone experience of mixing apistogramma species in a larger tank and managed to breed them still?
I currently have a pair of bitaeniata and pair of cacatuoides, as well as a number of young atahualpa and would like to change my 190 litre into a planted tank and have them breed and...
Thank you for your help. I noticed the female had been very protective of her cave and is now a beautiful yellow colour. It was ahrd work but have moved the gobies out as they kept trying to sneak a look at her cave.
Hoping I'll have some young :) Any tips on how to care for these? I also...
I have 3 x Stiphodon gobies in my tank with a sexed pair of bitaeniata and wanted to know peoples thoughts on keeping these together?
I think I have decided to move the gobies out now as fear they will stop my apisto's breeding...
thanks
Hi,
Hoping someone can help - I have a seed pair of apistogramma bitaeniata and a sexed pair of apistogramma cacatuoide, and would like to breed these. However, running low on tank space, would these be able to go in the same tank? I could use a 60litre tank for them but do not want any...
