    Small Harem of Steel Blues. No one is moving.

    I've actually just purchased them and I believe it was more of a fin nipping problem. Her(his) fins should grow back in a month or two. Do you think they are at least the same species? I have turned the lights out for now until I can give them some more cover. I will be going out today to get...

    Small Harem of Steel Blues. No one is moving.

    Hello all. Long story short, I had to set up a smaller tank for my single male steel blue apisto. He was getting a bit anxious with the introduction of new, bigger fish. I got my old 10 gallon out of storage. Cleaned it, washed it then put some clean leftover black sand in it. I used water...

    Two Cacatuoides, Which morphs?

    So I finally got the Apisto's I've been looking for. I have been looking for over three months. I'm now wondering EXACTLY what color morph they are. If I were to take a guess, I would assume the dominant male is a triple red, while the submissive male is a double red? I've also heard...

    Listless fish(es) after hours of dominance.

    Quick question. Has anyone done a test where they take the dominant fish out and put it into a quarantine tank to allow the submissive fish to gain a "property"? Or should they both come out into a new tank setup in the Quarantine? Basically, what I'm thinking is; When I had a few Bearded...

    Sounds good. I'll set up that tank and do a nice little 10 gal water change in the process. Thank you

    Listless fish(es) after hours of dominance.

    Went home for lunch to see both of them in the same spot. I tossed some food in the tank and waited a bit. While I was eating, I noticed both Apistos move around the tank a bit. Though the female stayed in the upper part of the tank and never went below mid way. I hope they are coming out...

    Listless fish(es) after hours of dominance.

    Hello all, I have two Apistos which I introduced to each other the other day. They were showing each other who was the dominant one which was to be expected (video of their behavior in the beginners forum), but yesterday and today, both fish are staying in one place. I believe the male...

    A couple questions (Type and Behavior)

    Hello all, pre-note - I have a few specific questions that belong in other forum threads, but I think this is a good house for them all. I recently set up my 36 gallon tank (Feb 10th) and have been planting and constantly checking water conditions. Everything has been stable and set for a...

    Hello! from So.Cal.

    Hello all, I've been following along here for about a year now, since I found my fascination of Apistos. I recently got back into the hobby and have introduced two new apistos to eachother so I am back to gain a bit more information. I hope I am soon able to contribute as well.
