I finally got my first pair of apistos. I ended up getting a. pandurini because I had made the trek out to the LFS and they only had male cacs left. There were plenty of apistos there, but all they had were males except for what I purchased.
Do you have any recommendations as far as what I...
I just picked up a pair of WC a. pandurini this weekend. This is my first attempt with apistos, and I have a few questions:
The LFS had both pandurini and panduro. Aren't they the same thing?
What would the best diet be for this fish? I tried some frozen brine shrimp, and they were...
OK. The light has been ordered. I also picked up a new 20H and switched out the oak frame from my old tank. It was easy getting the frame off the new tank, but getting it off the old one was not fun. It's over. It probably would have been worth the extra drive and $12 to just go pick an oak...
Well, I have not made much progress with the 20H, but I put a few new plants into my 10 gal that I had a pleco and a couple of the plants in that I was trying to save after trying them in my african tank. I also changed the sand substrate to a layer of peat and fluorite. Everything seems to be...

KH: 4.5 dH
pH: 7.9-8.0
I don't know if I am still within the realm of...
I have all of the parts for the DIY CO2 unit sitting next to the tank.
I haven't researched apistos A LOT yet, but it seems that A. agassizii and A. cacatuoides are suitable for beginners like myself. I would imagine that it will be weeks before I will be ready to move them in. Some of what...
Thanks for the quick response.
I would have to say heavily planted is what I am looking to do. I basically want to create a tank that is the opposite of my mbuna tank- which is a black background with rock piles and a couple of fake plants. I like it, but I'd like to try something else too...
Actually I am not even a newbie yet, as I am still in the planning stages. I already have a 55 gallon african tank, and a spare 20h that I want to do something different with.
I've already decided that I am going to set up a planted community tank with either a pair of rams or apistos, but I...
