    Apistogramma eremnopyge!!

    My experience is that they are extremely shy, even the F1 and F2 fish. Without any dither fish, they hide almost all the time. Right now, I have 3 juvenile in a 5 gallon tank, and they would never come out of hiding until I put some lampeye killies into the tank. Now they swim out in the...

    Dirt tanks and apistogramma questions.

    I have a ten gallon breeding tank and 2 five gallon grow-out tank with about 0.75" of sifted potting soil and about 0.5" black sand above it. I started out with planted tanks before keeping apistogramma, so I am biased for maintaining planted tanks. I have had the ten gallon for 3 years now...

    Dither Fish

    I have had good experiences with rocket pencilfish (Nannostomus eques) and blue neon rasbora (Sundadanio axelrodi). They stay in the upper half of the tank, don't seem to bother the fry much, and personally I think they help diffuse some of the aggression in smaller breeding tanks where you...

    How many days between eggs being laid and fry requiring food?

    My pair of bitaeniata just laid eggs this afternoon. How many days from now will I need food for the fry? I've actually raised several species of apistogramma before, but I've never kept track of the number of days it takes for the eggs to hatch and for the fry to become free swimming. Most...

    The male can't seem to hold still for a shot from the side, this is the most representative of picture I have so far. PM me if you are interested.

    Apistogramma for sale, for local pickup in NYC

    I have some macmasteri juveniles left. I have another batch of eremnopyge that I'm currently raising. And in a little bit I'll likely have gibbiceps and iniridae. I'm waiting for the gibbiceps and iniridae to be clearly sexable and once I have a pair or 2, I'll need to find homes for the rest.

    Apistogramma for sale, for local pickup in NYC

    I sold almost all my fry from that batch, and kept only 1 male. I do have another batch I'm raising, though. Unfortunately, that original male died a while back, and I'm waiting to see how the male I kept develops. They are relatively slow growers. I'm hoping it will have multiple thin...

    video of Rocket pencilfish spawning (with A. bitaeniata watching in the background)

    I've kept Nannostomus eques with my apistogramma as a dither with much success. They usually occupy the upper half of the tank, encourage the apistogramma to swim in the open, and seem to have minimal impact on apistogramma fry. Today I noticed some increased activity among the pencilfish, and...

    video of spawning pair of Apistogramma macmasteri

    I noticed some increased activity in my pair of wild A. macmasteri this past weekend, and was able to take a video of courtship/spawning behavior. The first thing I noticed was the male and female shaking their tails at each other. I also noticed that the female seemed to be cleaning the...
