    My first Apisto. A agassizii Double Red

    He’s doing well. He’ll now eat small pellets as well as frozen Brine. I upgraded his heater to a Cobalt Neo-Therm. Much smaller and better looking, plus temp staying stable. Weekly PWCs with 1/2 Tap 1/2 RO and Prime. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My first Apisto. A agassizii Double Red

    Thanks, I've had tanks off and on for years. I used to manage pet stores in the past as well. I'm pretty good at staring at my fish and seeing behaviors. But not an expert...always more to learn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My first Apisto. A agassizii Double Red

    This tank is CaribSea Tahitian Moon Sand. I have put in DIY Osmocote Plus Root Caps when I remember and dose on occasion with Thrive all in one. When it was my main tank and I had more time, the plants were thriving. This was the same tank when it was heavily stocked. The mulm is...

    My first Apisto. A agassizii Double Red

    I got him a little cave. And he ate a frozen bloodworm for me. I love this little fish. He's maybe 1.5" currently. I look forward to his adult colors. Please excuse the GSA on the glass. This has been a neglected plant tank for months. He likes his cave He appreciates the small side...

    Greetings from CA, first Apisto

    No worries. Very used to it. My kennel name is Coursair Whippets. That's where is comes from. My first Whippet back in the late 80's I've also had Reptiles, Tarantulas and Amphibians. I held a Falconry License for years. This is another old pic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Over at Aquarium Advice we had an old joke. Everyone thinks I'm a male with the screen name Coursair. So I started signing my posts Tina Still not a dude Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My first Apisto. A agassizii Double Red

    I'm not new to fish, but I am new to Apistos. I bought an Aggie Double Red yesterday. I have a well established heavily planted 10g that I put him in. He's looking bright and alert and was hunting for food this morning. I had hoped for a pair, but was told a 10g would be too small. So he is...

    Greetings from CA, first Apisto

    Now about me... I have been keeping tanks off and on for 40 years. I've managed Pet Stores. The last 8 years I got into keeping Planted Tanks. I'm in a club. Mine are NOT showpieces. But the fish like them. My 55g community My 5.5g Betta tank Other currant hobbies are Carnivorous Plants...

    Greetings from CA, first Apisto

    Hi, I have a well established 10g with plants and leftover Cherry Shrimp. I picked out an A. agassizii Double Red male as my first Apisto. I did not buy a pair as I was told a 10g might be too small if they quarreled. Apologies for the dirty glass. Still cleaning this tank up. I pulled out...
