Well, I'm not too sure about aggies but I have cacs. They're fairly easy to breed and I also heard the one of the most easiest out of the apistos. I've had them for about 5 months and gotten them to breed twice in PH 7.4. The female doesn't seem to be agressive to the male in my case. After...
My apistos laid eggs again. The last batch of babies got the original tank so I moved them to another tank of their own. The problem is, the gravel is quite large in this tank. I was wondering if its a good idea to remove the gravel, or at least the gravel around her home so the babies don't get...
Are there any preditors in the tank? If not, then I wouldn't worry too much about it. You can also keep a night light on near the tank to give some indirect lighting. If there are preditors, I'd rather just keep the light on for their safety.
Well, I dont have to get rid of them just yet. I'm enjoying watching them school and follow each other. And besides, when I do have to get rid of them, probably earn a few bucks for each while doing so, most people dont pay ~$8 per fish(the LFS price of cacatuoides) if they dont have any...
Yes, they are still young, at about 2-3 months old. They already started showing some colors. But when the pecking starts, I guess some will head to the LFS where majority of them will be sold and die within a few days due to unexperienced owners. But I dont have that much room so such is life.
I've noticed my group of cacatuoides tend to school all together, about 10-14 stay together and couple wander off. Are they naturally a schooling fish?
I had a pair of Cacatuoides in my 10G tank which had babies. (mother died after a month and then I bought another adult female)
I have counted about 14 babies and they're now about 1" long, about 2 month old. I recently acquired another 10G tank. Should I move the 2 adults to the new tank or...
Kenny, from my experience, the female will stay in her home while waiting for the babies to hatch, usually going only as far as the entrance to her home but never leaving. She will only eat if something comes falling her way, but otherwise, she'll just protect her eggs for a few days until its...
