Was just thinking what the most active and interactive species of apisto is?

My borelli opal are very docile and come to the front when about to be fed but hardly see them during the day. I have heard cacatoides are a bit more active but would be interested to hear any other species activity levels?

Of the few species I've kept my D50 are the most active - esp at feeding time and they are not shy. My female nijjensi is a bit shy - actually not really shy as reclusive. The borelli i had were not super active nor the hongsloi. Sadly I think my D50 are getting fat and need to be on a diet.

My Cacatoides were amazing and interactive (the super red) the Orange flash were not, they hid a lot.

No difference in species so environment/tank mates probably play a role in different behavior. A cockatoo is a cockatoo; though a lot of the colour strains do have 'odd' genetics due to inbreeding but the specific colour probably plays a minor role.

I have a macmasteri, cacatuodies, agasizzi, trifisciata and had a borelli my macmasteri is extremely interactive and all over the tank
My agasizzi flame red is also very interactive. He’s like a pet when I come to the front of the glass. He hangs out with me and checks me out. It’s pretty awesome. I don’t know if this helps.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
