    Sexing apistos: not the usual question

    hi, ive read many threads on here about sexing species like cacas and borellis. the threads go quite long, so i didnt read all of them. I'm just wondering, when people have problem sexing, it's because the fish are too young to sex right? i mean, isnt the male the one with more colored fins...

    Apistos v.s Water Current

    From seeing pictures of their natural biotope, i can imagine very very little water current in their tanks. Im running a AC mini on a 10g and when my apisto cacs. come near the output, they get pushed a bit. im using the filter at half flow. should i make some modifications to lower the current?
