    Personal List of Apistogramma

    Your site doesn't include a price for the Apisto. cf. Payaminonis, do you have any left?

    A. Agassizii "Metal Blue" question

    **Just to clarify, the supplier and LFS have assured me it is not the Apistogramma sp. "Steel Blue" that is described on this page (http://www.dwarfcichlid.com/Apistogramma_sp_Steel_blue.php), and is a true Agassizii. Thank you for any and all help you may be able to be on the subject at hand.

    A. Agassizii "Metal Blue" question

    As someone who is fairly new to the Apisto game, I've come into some luck with suppliers in the past month. Today I found out that my LFS will be carrying one pair of A. Agassizii 'Metal Blue', which was described to me as a fairly rare strain of Agassizii in the USA. Prices have not been...

    Need help on an ID please

    Recently my one and only male A. Cacatouides passed away and I went looking for a replacement. Luckily I came across a local breeder with some good stock and even better prices. After talking back and forth for a bit I decided to purchase the fish pictured below, an adult male A. Cacatouides...

    A question about Texas Holey Rock

    Thank you for the tip. The picture was just of some Holey Rock I found online, not any of my own stock. Before purchasing this somewhat expensive rock, I'm trying to do a bit of research. I did find a supplier of man made Holey Rock (universalrocks.com) and might just go for that to save on...

    A question about Texas Holey Rock

    I used to keep Oscars and would dream of keeping African Cichlids. One of my old goals was to have a tank of Mbuna Cichlids and stack it with Texas Holey Rock for them to hide in and possibly spawn. Obviously my interests have shifted towards much, much smaller Cichlids (apistogramma...

    Panduro question

    That settles it... Panduro is going to be my next dwarf cichlid. GORGEOUS fish and a great looking tank. I've seen people take the fry out once the mother and father start showing aggression towards them. I've heard of mothers raising fry for a long time, and some others for a not so very...

    My 40 gallon A. Cacatuoides setup

    Here is my 40 gallon breeder setup.

    10g apisto cactuoides tank

    I use Pencil Fish, nerite snails, and Chinese Mystery Snails as apisto tank mates.

    10g apisto cactuoides tank

    ^^ Agreed. I just had 2 out of my 3 female cacatuoides spawn in the span of two days in the same 40 gallon breeder tank. The females are verrrrrry aggressive towards their territory. In a 10 gallon, one would probably kill the other to protect her spawn site. If you must have two females and...

    Dither questions

    Thank you for your information. I'll do some more research on the Golden Pencilfish. I know that they eat their own eggs, but haven't heard they eat other's fry.

    Dither questions

    I use Golden Pencil Fish as a dither. They work well, and are entertaining to watch. They also prefer the black water environment of my tank.. and seem to be mating. Dither fish do bring out my cacatuoides from the caves. I see a distinct difference in the side of the divided tank with the...

    Cacatuoides eggs for a first time breeder. A few questions...

    Thank you so much for all your tips. My local LFS breeds fish and has a steady supply of BBS and other small live animals for fry. I wasn't aware that the live food works so well with fry. I've seen many videos of fry just eating dry food (Repashy, ground flake/pellet, or boiled egg yolk mixed...
