If I actually go through with this I’ll probably just go with a Ram.
The only Apisto I can both easily find and would want to buy right now is an Agassizii. I think Cacatuoides and Macmasteri get quite bigger.
Please note that I wouldn’t keep it in that tank forever, I’d...
Hi all!
Haven’t posted here in a while....
All my tanks are long gone due to lack of time / space. Only a small tank remains (4 gallon), which until recently housed my favorite betta who died after three years.
I’d like a break from my bettas and was wondering if you would house a dwarf cichlid...
I’ve always had issues when keeping plecos with apistogramma. Sometimes my ancistrus would eat the eggs at night and on some instances they were being chased all around the tank (gladly there was never a serious injury) . I’d advise against it too.
They really are stunning fish. Apistos in general are stunning, but this guys are by far my favorite. The male in the photo is the best Borellii I had all these years and I'm currently raising one of his spawns.
The fish were in a pretty good shape when you bought them and it's pretty common for them to breed right away, when introduced to a suitable environment. Keep as posted with more pics
Looks nice! Did you place the filters in the back?
I don't think the "frogbite" will develop properly on the surface, judging from its roots.
Be sure to add fert tabs on the crypts right away to avoid a melt down.
Have you decided/ordered the fish?
Because my tap water is very hard and I'm already struggling to soften it up properly, I didn't want to add anything that could possibly raise the hardness. That's why I successfully tried Cryptocoryne Balansae that looks like Vals. If the Val's don't work you could give this crypt a try.
