    Apisto pictures

    I've never seen a fish like those panduro before. White panduro w/ some much orange/red in the tail. I really like Jeff's photos. I want some Gymnogeophagus Labiatus or Gymno. Meridonalis from him so bad. I can't wait until he gets some in.

    Apistogramma Jurua

    In the one set of pictures the female almost looked like a thin Nijsseni. Beautiful fish.

    Free F0 Apistogramma Nijsseni

    I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do this here, but I didn't see a place to put this. I am looking to get rid of my 3 female apistogramma nijsseni females. All F0 from Ken Davis of Fishfarm USA in GA. They're all heathy and fine. My waters just not optimum for them and I can't find any...

    Inka50

    There is no difference. The Inca50 is a apistogramma in the nijsseni complex. I have no idea why the 50 myself.

    what's your set-ups?

    Getting the apistos is the easy part. You can get 4 high quality F0 species for under $40 from most people on aquabid.com if you contact them directly. That's how I got started. Only one tank with apistos right now. Still waiting for a good quality nijsseni male to become available so I can...

    New to dwarfs

    Cacs and borelli are as mild mannered of apistos as you'll find. All apistogramma will defend their young. They're not quite as nasty as kribs, but they'll handle anything that comes near their fry/eggs. I can't help you with a picture of leaf substrate. Cacs and borelli don't need to...

    Male Cac very dark

    That has happened to one of my A. Nijsseni females. She is always more dark and she hide in the back. The other 2 females are more dominant and are eager to breed however my male died about 2 months ago and no one has male nijsseni anywhere so I'm waiting on Ken Davis, Ray, or Neil to some in...

    Pseudotropheus Lanisticola

    Thanks Bobby. You just answered by question. Also, how colorful are they? They looked like a nice blue in the picture I saw of them. I'm just trying to figure out my stocking scheme right now.

    Apisto Nijsseni

    I have a 35g with 3 F0 females right now that are beautiful. I had an F0 male but he died and I have been looking for the last 2 months of anyone who carries any F0 male nijsseni. Anyways, they can be slightly aggressive, but for the most part it's just one picking on another or my cories...

    fix PH once and for all

    The method Michael describes is what I am attempting to do right now. My starting PH is between 7-7.5 and my GH is 8. Over the course of 2 weeks I have been able to get my PH down to 6.5 and my GH down to 4. It works great. The one thing I do differently is I just throw the peat moss in...

    Nijsseni help?!

    Yeah, I have some F0 nijsseni right now. I have 3 females and 1 male. My male is a little more timid than my females. Probably because my dom. female is a lot bigger than him. Add some clay pots or things to hide in. And yes, lots of plants will help a lot. Dithers are always good. I...

    Apist Nijsseni loose color

    Well, I think I figured out what my mistake was that caused my male to look sick. I think when I fed frozen blood worms, I didn't break them up enough and he got too much in him. Then the extra he couldn't process just stayed in the intestine and rotted. I've read that is common in cichlids...

    Sitting on the bottom - not swimming very well.

    I'm not sure how mine is. I think mine is something that the Metronidazol will be able to fix. I am picking some up on my way home and putting him in the Q tank and hoping it's not too late. I have no idea what yours might be. I've ton looking lately online and your symptons just seem...
