    Breeding question

    I have a 20gal long with lots of hardscape and plants and a 2.5gal that is not set up yet that I am going to stock with an Apistogramma Trifasciata, and I'm not sure I want to get one or two and breed them.

    Apistogramma laying on bottom

    Hi yall, got some A. Eunotus today and they've been sitting on the bottom of the tank for the past couple hours, is this normal for new fish? These fish were drip acclimated for an hour and was kept in roughly the same pH as my water before I purchased them.

    Opinions on the ability to add apistos to this tank?

    I’ve been throwing around the idea of getting a pair of cockatoo Apisto (or any that I can find) for a while now, but I’ve had poor experiences keeping other dwarf cichlids in tanks around the twenty gallon range with aggression.

    Stressed A. Borellii sp. Opal male

    About 3 weeks ago I got a solo male A. Borellii sp. Opal. I had him in a QT tank with other fish while I finished building an upgraded 32 gallon tank for my community for 1 week. During this time he was colored up and seemed great. Once I moved them all to the new tank, he has had no color and...

    A. mendezi spawned

    I've had them for about 4 months, but got lucky with 3 spawns across the two females. So far only one has successfully raised (her most recent batch) to free swimming size, but they seem to be eating well. Do mendezi grow at a "typical" rate for apistos?
