tough choice

[moricollins]

I recently found some wild caught apistogramma agassizii at a fish store near me, as well as some apistogramma cacautoides....
i currently have a pair of agassizii and was wondering if my domestic pair would breed with the wild caughts,
i'm planning on buying a pair of either wild aggies or cockatoos, and was wondering what you guys (and girls) would suggest... i have an empty 15 gallon tnak that i want to stock...

thanks

Yes they will breed together, but more importantly, where are they?

I really want a natural looking agazizzi, the sharper the tail the better!

Where are they? I may even get you to get me some... I'm in Missisauga.

and the cockatoos are at big al's in whitby. they also have domestic aggies, that's where i got my pair.

Cool , thanks, if you remember, how much were the wilds for a pair?

 

[moricollins]

moricollins,

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

Most agassizii will breed between forms with reasonable to good results. There are a few exceptions (ie, tefe). If you already have a pair of aggies, why don't you try the cacatuoides?! It will give you a chance to see the differences in species and provide you with more information for future choices.

well, i bought a pair of apistogramma cacatuoides today, my male already has nice colouration, and the female was the largest of the bunch, and the most healthy looking of them all.

have fun, they are very nice fish.
