    I’ve got half the juvies going at the end of this month and roughly 15 + still left, some males showing but think like cacs that other sub Dom males sleep their features hidden for fear of a beating by the dominant male

    Funny enough I spawned mine in pure RO as that’s all I use for my Apisto, the batch of fry must have been 70 plus as there were loads and I’m now down to 49 fry, I was moving the male about between a couple Of females but in an effort to spread them about I sold the parents onto a friend who...

    Thanks, I think the female looks beautiful in her breeding dress, the male with his tail reminded me a bit of the Elizabethe when its tail moved about during flirting with the female. My current projects are L046 plecos, Apistogramma wise there are very few unusual choices in the UK and lack of...

    Thanks Mike, we only received these for the first time in the Uk last year, took me a couple of attempts but really happy that managed to get them breeding :)

    I also separated the male after the eggs hatched so as to protect the fry and as the female would attack the male, the fry were just to valuable for me to risk them leaving the pair together as it was a first time spawn

    Trio did not work for me. Pair only worked, temp 27, these fish were very expensive so I wouldn't buy them unless experienced and prepared to meet the correct conditions as it would be very difficult to locate a spare fish.

    The Female didn't become aggressive until she went into breeding dress and on eggs, after that the male kept well away from her or she would chase him

    I had a pair of adults imported last year, first female jumped out of the water and died so managed to get a second pair which at £350 a pair wasn't cheap but within three weeks the new female was spitting sand out and coloured up, I sold the parents to a friend as his pair of Kullanderi...
