    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. I was wondering if my main community tank would more be acceptable...

    Help choosing my first Apistogramma/Dwarf Cichlid

    Hi All, My first time posting on here. I currently have a 100L tall (70cm wide) South American aquarium for which i am hoping to add an Apistogramma or Dward Cichlid as a feature fish (either a single male or pair, whichever is most appropriate). I've never kept these type of fish before so...

    New to Apistos

    Hi everyone! A few months ago I "inherited" a pair of apisto cacatuoides along with a secondhand tank I bought. I was only really after a starter tank for my first tropical fish since childhood so a 12 gallon "Aquaone nano 40" seemed a good option with its built in multistage filter. I had...

I don’t plan on breeding but what happens happens. I have really enjoyed watching behavior. Figured I’d say hi. I’ve been a fly on...

    WC Atahualpa trio

    Hello it’s my first time keeping apistos and WC fish. I am thinking of buying a trio of atahualpas because their gender cannot be identified yet due to them not being adults. My LFS is very specialized in wild caught fish and very helpful so they gave me a lot of information about this amazing...

    Preliminary research: should I go apisto or a different dwarf cichlid?

    Hi, I am considering getting back in to keeping fish (pending spouse and landlord's approval) and am doing some research on different options. I remember as a teenagere that cichlids were my favourite fish - I had convicts and lombardoi - so all my options are cichlids. One of those options...

    New from Hansville, Washington

    I am getting back to fishkeeping after many years. I’ve spent the last couple of months researching and watching videos. I’ve decided on a 30 long planted, including some botanicals, for a small colony of apisto with a few tetra. What if anything should I add or subtract from this scenario...

    Greetings from Moscow

    Hello! I'm new to the forum and quite new to keeping an aquarium. I have just acquired a pair of electric blue apistogramma and have just been reading about how easy it is to kill them. Trying not to panic - lol. They're gorgeous so far. Nice to meet you.
