hi all,
i was wondering if it is possible to mix and raise together apistos of differents species... I have 19 juvenils cacatuoides in a 20 gal and i'd like to get maybe juveniles of 2 others apistos and raise them with those i have...
It is possible and which species would u recommend mixing?
Eventually i will keep a trio of cacatuoides in either a 77 gal community or in a 29 gal with various dither fish...
my water stats are : pH 7.1 (tap water is about 7.4)
Gh is around 107.4 ppm
Kh is around 71.6
How do i get softer water? I read about peat moss to lower ph but does it affect water hardness?
i know at least 2 people in my area that have some breeding fish and
I say a great trio of mc masteri in the pictures Badguy put up... (message, message :wink: ...)
I like the Hongsloi as well ... The more i look around , the less i know was to chose... there are to many of them... :evil: I'm seriously considering putting apisto only in the 77gal... ( 2-3 harem would be nice... :wink: )
Oh yeah... Someone said on the previous post i left that cacatuioides were easy to sex... mine have no color except bold black stripes so how do i tell the little boys from the little girls??? I read somewhere that femalle had black ventral fins... is that true? If it is i seem to have more femalles than males...
thanks a lot
