    New To Breeding, advice wanted.

    god, thats really quite short, I've had my apistos since june, they were pretty small then (pre adults), but they are domestic A. Borellii Sp. Opal, so are definitely rather inbred. I better start making plans to get a wild caught pair eventually, just to breed more vivacious fish.

    New To Breeding, advice wanted.

    I've decided to actually just make a community tank, its actually doing really good rn, But i do have a question I really want to breed my borellii at some point, but what is an average lifespan for them, I don't want to have my apistogramma's die on me before im ready to breed them.

    Color Ehancer for Apistogramma

    I second Mike's statement, if it it is hormone based it likely would mess with the growth and health of the fish, meanwhile a soley nutrient based mixture is unlikle to do harm. I have never raised fry, but this is more just common sense.

    New To Breeding, advice wanted.

    I have a pair of A.Borellii I intend to breed soon, however I am unsure of the way the process works and I do have a few personal limitations. I only have frozen BBS I will have to go for a short vacation during winter break (not my choice but I can't do anything about it) I do not currently...

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    1. If one cannot provide optimal condtions, than it makes sense to do a best, as MacZ pointed out, many people do not care enough about the fish, and i would say this forum is really quite a hotspot of responsible fishkeeping. Sub-Optimal care is perfered to the complete lack of a s*** some...

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    While I do not necessarily disagree with your statement I would like to offer a counterargument, mostly for the sake of it but I do also disagree with a few of your conclusions. One can argue that we have in fact done the animal a favor even if providing a diminished lifespan and health, Fish in...

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    Well by now I think alot less of Aquarium Co-op, but I'll still watch their videos, just a reason to be more skeptical. I feel that Im often too trusting, but at least im smart enough to realise the need for skepticism when there is a deserved reason.

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    the way I see it borellii and Hillstream loaches probably could get along in a tank, but with a bit more foresight I think it would have to be very carefully put together, I think its best to think of fishes needs as a spectrum, with biotopes at the habitable end, and as you go further right it...

    Thinking of German Rams would like more knowledge

    Thats why I always take my plans to forums, Only the most well thought out ones survive scrutiny, especially in Apisto.com, My Borellii would be dead from overcompensation if this forum didn't bring my painc back down to earth.

    Apistogramma Elizabethae Behavior/Gender?

    What was he labeled as, I acquired a A. Iniridae that turned out to be A cf. Agassizii that seemed to be a tefe aligned hybrid , I re-homed him in a week actually, A lot of local fish keepers wanted a Mutt Agassizii apparently.

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    I never really considered that breeding is not necessarily a sign of good conditions, now that I think about it that makes sense, When I first acquired an interest in a hobby it was mostly through reading fishkeeping books, mainly one that I still have on my bookshelf (though Its been collecting...

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    I have experience with Sewellia and as mentioned in the video that started this whole thread, Don't actually need that much flow (Lowell BRED THEM with sponge filters) They don't need that high flow you mentioned, they only really seem to need lots of Oxygen, thats why Im thinking about it right...

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    Im just wondering about the viability of putting a hillstream loach in a breeding tank, mostly due to the video ''How I bred Reticulated Hillstream Loaches at home'' at the time stamp 6:43 he mentions them being Fry safe, along side video footage of them Not eating a fry Infront of them. So I...
