    Info on 'sneaker' males

    Can/will a sneaker male assume female brood coloration? I have a female (?) who colors up nicely, enters a cave, chasing tetras away, then leaves cave to enter another cave on other side of tank, then returns to first cave. She doesn't spend much time at all in second cave. This is the third...

    fry aggression

    Hello all. First time raising apisto fry (Apistogramma sp. pebas 'morado' and A. borelli 'blue'). Just wondering if someone more experienced can answer a question? At about 7-8 weeks, the borelli especially are showing adult behaviors (chasing, tail-wagging, etc). The fish are about 1/2 -...

    Another mixing species thread...

    Hi all, Need some advice. Have 5 young A. agassizi in a 30L tank, 2 males....one is making life miserable for other male. Have 3 young A. eunotus in a 20L (one DEFINITE male, a little aggressive, one probable male and one maybe female). Think the harassed agassizi would be ok in the 20L...

    Another apisto aggression question

    Hi all, New to the forums and to apistos. Have recently acquired 4 wild caught Apistogramma Eunotus. They are in a 20L with 4 Flameback bleeding heart tetras (originally 6, lost 2 to water change not knowing water company had heavily increased chloramine use). All fish are doing well...

    Back to hobby after 20+ years

    Hi all! New here, and as thread title says, coming back after long time away. I used to keep some Central Americans, some dwarfs, community tanks, etc. Now, am interested strictly in dwarf cichlids because of tank/space restraints...lol. I have kept a couple west africans in the past, but...
