In case you were going to upload a video: You have to upload those somewhere else (e.g. Youtube or Dailymotion) and link to the video.

In case you were going to show pictures: You have to use the upload option and once uploaded to actually add the pictures to your post, either as a thumbnail or the full-sized picture.

Hi all,

Here is the latest video of my Sunset male

He looks a nice fish. How does he get on with your Corydoras?

cheers Darrel

beautiful fish. i'd recommend to get some fine grain sand and if you plan to breed these beauties, you should probally rehome the corys.

He is territorial. So far all getting along well and always chase away the Corydoras/females when feeding.

Yup, I heard they show better coloration with fine grain sand. Still tinkering if I should setup another tank for them as I dont want to disturb them in current tank as they do well.

It’s not because of their coloration, but how they forage for food. They are sand sifters, like geophagus.

Noted. Do i need to drop the ph to 5.0 to trigger them for breeding?

Trigger them to breed, probably not. Most Apistogramma will try and breed when they are happy…will you need to drop the pH to successfully breed them, most likely.
