Yeah, I have very similar circumstances. It’s just so frustrating when you put so much effort into it and you know you’re doing everything right and my water parameters are great and yet these Apisto’s don’t make it. I currently have an orange adult orange flash agasizzi in a 29 that seems like...
In the past I haven’t gotten more than 6 to 8 months, but that was on me but then I read this article about 8% making it to two years so I don’t know, now I have three tanks with the Apisto’s fairly new so far so good, I’m hoping I got it figured out this time
And thank you by the way, you seem to be the only one that tries to help me out here truthfully, I am a little disappointed not to get more replies and responses. I wonder sometimes if it’s me. ♂️
It’s tough because these online apistogramma care guides don’t tell you any of this you have to find out for yourself and it’s quite frustrating and costly for a newbie for apistogramma like myself. I have had great success for years with your general community fish, but these guys are not easy...
Question:
What’s the longest lifespan you personally have gotten out of your Apisto’s.
Have most of you had success with keeping them for many years.
I read somewhere that a study was done and only 8% survival rate at two years can this be possible?
I personally have had bad luck with keeping...
So this Lump on his head, developed several weeks ago and has gotten larger and has gotten a white color to it recently. He is hiding at the top back corner behind the heater most of the time and sometimes he will try to scratch himself as if he has an itch on rock or driftwood if it is...
Yeah I hear ya it’s just that I have a Male double red and a friend of mine is getting rid of his fish and wants to give me a triple red female so not that I’m looking to breed and sell them kind of thing but just wondering if it could happen
So I tried a new dealer for the first time I ordered a pair of Apisto agasizzi fire reds and this is what they sent me, does anyone have any idea what type of Apisto this is
Thanks for the info you always respond to my posts and I really appreciate that so then would you say it’s a waste of money to add beneficial bacteria additives after each water change and when adding new fish to the tank
I am looking to put a pair of A. Agasizzi fire red in a 20g with some dither fish. I would think a species like Apistogramma would do better in an established tank, so I have a tidal 55 and a 35 with bio media from other established tanks and sponges from other established tanks used Fritz zyme...
Yeah that’s what I figured. They came as a pair, and I was pretty sure it was a female because at times it would have a slight hint of yellow, which is usually indicative of the female, but I wasn’t positive
