    Apistogramma Tucururi

    Micke I really appreciate the info here. It's a phenomenal write up and the fact that you took the time to share that info is again, something I appreciate. I'm not sure how to grade the body size. 5-6cm is also the size of a borellii and I consider them completely shrimp safe. I guess it's...

    Apistogramma Tucururi

    I fell in love with this species! You know how it is, you see an apisto species and think "My goodness! That would be a great gorgeous specimen to keep" but info on this species is proving difficult to come by. Has anyone kept this species? What size does it get to? Would you consider it...

    Apistogramma and RC sized shrimp

    So Mr Wise What would be my best bet? Which of these small species would you choose if you were aiming for my setup. Considering availability. Also is the A. elizabethae and tucururi worth considering for size?

    Apistogramma and RC sized shrimp

    Hey Mike For me the problem isn't about the molting. In my experience shrimp tend to hide during molting and after so an opportunistic loss here and there isn't the concern. I'm more worried about finding an apisto of similar borellii size. They don't have to be micro just not hongsloi...

    Apistogramma and RC sized shrimp

    Now I know this question has been asked before but bare with me. I have kept a number of cichlid species over the years and the only species that didn't actively hunt cherry sized shrimp in my experience is the A. Borellii. I believe this is down to one factor, size... I'm in the process of...

    Frustrated with British Apisto Stock

    When I first got into apistos, the stock and species I could find have largely remained the same. However, over time I've noticed that the stock has taken a dive. I'm seeing a lot of morphed and stunted specimes being offered up for sale and I find it frustrating. For instance, pver the weekend...

    ID Please

    Hey Mike I bought them from a breeder who wasn't exactly sure what they were? I see there is a lot of confusion over mac and vejitas. I was confused because the guy had them under t5 lighting and they were very bland but over the past month the male has started to turn crimson... So I wasn't...

    The Artificially Hatch Plan & Heist!

    Guys I really need a few pointers here since this is my first attempt at this. Should I change the methylene blue water once they have hatched? The filter is quite strong should I switch it off on the 4th/5th days during hatching?

    The Artificially Hatch Plan & Heist!

    Ok So My apisto inka has just consumed her 11th spawn and I have decided that when she spawns next I'm taking them out on day 1. As to why she does this I'm not sure but my theory is that she likes to pretend she is brooding so she can boss the male about because she carries herself aggressively...

    Eggs On Glass?

    I'm aware that this can happen from time to time but I personally have never experienced a spawn like this? It appears the nice cave I added to the tank didn't meet my female baenschi's needs and she has instead spawned at the back of the tank, on the aquarium glass... What action should I...

    Water Changes & Spawning?

    I've heard several variations about water changes and a resulting spawn. And in short, I just want your experiences with WC's used to induce a spawn... .Cold water change Vs Warm water changes .Large Wc's Vs Small Vs Medium And so on

    Can you diagnose this Illness?

    Both my apistos were on the floor for the past two days and I thought I was going to lose them. Then I got this product called "Sera nametol" and I swear, within an hour they were swimming around as usual and their anal track looks a lot less swollen. Thanks for the diagnosis guys. I really...
