    Apistogramma cacatuoides growing.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply with answers to my questions. Breeding was more a fun learning purpose. I don't intend to do it for profit. Though I'd love to turn my leanto into a fish room. My LFS is interested in any I have to offer them, they have told me they don't see them very often...

    First time breeding A. cacatuoides

    To be honest never planned on breeding, I love that it has happened and would like to keep some. I have a second tank, and also some empty 10gallons I could set up. My plan is to set up a tank just for the pair to breed in the future, but I'm not at that stage yet. My LFS told me they don't...

    Hey everyone new here and new to A. Cacatuoides. I've had a m/f pair for around 12weeks now. They are in a planted 40gallon long, with harlequin rasbora, pentazona barbs, otos, Cory's and a single pleco. I made a few cave areas for them and they have been doing great. Noticed eggs(estimate...
