Had a heater fail last night in my F-1 Viejita tank, temp was almost 100, male/female breeders dead, 12 fry dead. I just hope some of the fry I pulled will give me some females, I have some males from another batch but no females. It's amazing how just the littlest thing can become a game...
I read a lot of posts saying bloodworms are not good for apistos and most of it seems to be with commercially bought bloodworms, I raise and cultivate bloodworm but mine are in clean clear water [water fountain, birdbath]. Do the same cautions apply to bloodworms raised in a more sanitary condition?
She looks plenty big enough, I have four females on fry [first batch] that are about 1 1/4". I use live food and good water to help mine along in promoting breeding. Good luck there one of my favorite.
Was at my LFS and they have about dozen female agassizii with no males or fry, all of them were canary yellow and still are a week later anybody else ever see this?
Not sure where to put this but half of my screen is covered and I only have about 3" at the bottom and it only happens when I'm signed in, if I sign out I get a full screen.
I have what was sold to me as a F1 Viejita now that he is grown I would like a identification if can be, I contacted the importer and he said he is the one that got the wild parents, here is the male And another one I received as a wild Cacatuoidesnot from importer but through someone else.
I've read about they have been known to start at a early age but this is a first for me, I have some Hongsloi fry five mo. old in a grow out tank with a adult female [temporary] that has gone a holed up in a coconut and filled the entrance with sand and the male she chose is about five times...
I have a agassizii female that is mabe a year old and she is just wasting away, her head is wide as normal but her body is very thin, I have been trying to put weight back on her but no luck, she eats frozen food and live readily but flake no so much. Is it a worm or parasite? If so what med...
These were sold to me as Viejita, I have contacted the original importer and he tells me he imported them as a wild pair in march of last year, these came to me as F1's from the person who breed them. They dont look like my Mac's. [color or tail spot] but that really dont mean much. I was only...
I was give these as Rio Xingu but can find little info on them, do these look like them? I'm not sure but are both of these female? Sorry for the crappy pict. but my camera is pretty basic.
I was given 6 of these the other day, the person that gave them to me says there Bits and he has no idea what type, the two males I have, I got from apistodave as a pair M/F but there not there males These look nothing like mine, do these look like Bitaeniata, and what type, also M/F ?
Hopefully next week I should be getting my pair of cacs. in, I have 1 female already. After QT will a 30 tall be enough room for one male and two females to breed in or would it be best to keep the females separate and just use the male between the two tanks?
Do all apisto females have black on there ventral fins, in my case agassizii and Hongsloi, there about 1 1/4" long? I received 8 apistos 3 males and 5 females, bags were not marked, single fish per bag, now I'm trying to figure out what the females are.
