A friend of mine picked up a pair of A. sp. Tefe. He would like to set them up to breed. I have never owned this particular species. So, I have no first hand information to give him. We are looking for a little help with this one.
Here are the parameters of the tank he has them in...
I never noticed that info at the bottom of the page at Cichlidroom Companion. The article from Mike Wise is an outstanding breakdown to ID the different Apisto's. These will be most helpful. Thanks for the great info.
I am looking for the most up to date and complete breakdown of all the Apistogramma complexes and groups? For example; Which fish would be contained within the pertensis group or iniridae group? Where is the best place to find such information in detail? Thanks Wally
The green terrors are the biggest problem in the tank. When they are in spawning mode they will wreak havoc in the tank. Paratilapia polleni does not exist as a name anymore, all small spot Paratilapia are being re-identified. I would use Paratilapia sp. East Coast small spot until you...
To my understanding foods high in beta carotenes will produce a better red coloration. Shrimps and other crustaceans are high in beta carotene. I would imagine shrimp pellets or flake may produce the same effect. It may make the reds and oranges marginally more intense. The best way would be...
That description does not sound like A. atahuapla. If you got them at ACA the bag should have had a seller's name and phone number on the tag it is required. Hopefully, you saved that information somewhere. At least you could contact them to verify the species. I always keep those things...
I have seen a couple of different names. A. sp. 'Inka', A. sp. 'Inka 50', A. sp. 'Inka 500', A. sp. 'Inka Gold' are just a couple I am sure there are more. Retailers like to change names sometimes to make it sound like it is a new fish to increase sales. The identified species name is...
Tragedy. Eggs were gone on the third day. I did not find any wigglers or bodies. Her colors went back to regular coloration. Hopefully, this was a 1 time incident. It was their first time spawning.
