Thanks for the fast reply. I just did a 50% cool water change and immediately they are both out and dancing for each other instead of fighting. I normally do bi-weekly 25% changes and had done so while they were fighting, but I guess that just wasn't enough because 50% seemed to do the trick...
Hey all,
My pair of P. Taeniatus (I believe "Moliwe") spawned about a week and a half ago. About the time the fry should have been free swimming, the pair ended up eating their spawn. I expected that, it was their first. However, ever since then the pair has been fighting nonstop. I ended up...
Hey all,
I picked up this pair at my LFS the other day, but the only name I got was "Pelvicachromis Taeniatus." From looking at pictures of other P. Taeniatus I'm thinking these are "Moliwe." Can anyone confirm this or are they another variety? I'm also assuming these are not wild, but I'm...
Thanks guys.
I had no idea about the bloodworms. I have been feeding them to my fish for years now and they always seemed to love it (never had apistos before though). I'll have to find a better source of food from now on just in case, since I do not have the space to culture my own...
Hey everyone,
Is tail slapping a form of aggression or courtship? I've got a trio of apisto cacatuoides, but I'm still unsure of the sex of any of them, but lately I've noticed them chasing each other and tail slapping beside each other. Most of the chasing and tail slapping is being done by...
I appreciate the help everyone. I actually traded in the smaller apisto I had and picked up this one. I realize the coloring is pretty much the same, but I can see color and a design on the tail of this one. Also, this apisto's first couple rays on the dorsal fin are a bit more extended and I...
The more research I'm doing and pictures I'm seeing, the more I'm starting to agree. I was hoping they were just young and haven't developed colors yet, but from what I'm seeing, they look like a lot of other females. I guess I'll be on the search for a single male...
Thanks
Sorry about that, forgot to mention size. The larger one is approx. 1", while the smaller one is just slightly smaller, I'd say around 3/4". They are supposedly "Double Reds".
Some of the reasons I thought the larger one may be male is because it was one of the larger ones in the tank I got it...
Hey yall, I'm new here, picked up my first Apistos today. I'm new to them, but not new to fish keeping and not new to dwarf cichlids. Hopefully I'm posting this in the right section... I was just wondering what yalls opinions were on the sex of my new additions. I'm thinking male and female, but...
