Need to make some room. Apistogramma Cacatouides half wild, half double red juvies for sale 5 for $25. Photo is of one of the juvie males that was sold. Kept in local tap water, easy to breed species, nice beginner dwarf cichlid, great in community tanks. PM if interested.
Looking to buy a pair or two of either species (doesn't matter the color forms). Would also be interested in a group of juvies as well. Willing to pay shipping within the U.S.
Do males show any black in there pelvic fins or is that only in females? It kind of slipped my mind to take a better look at my female Barlowi but I noticed her pelvic fins are clear like the males. Could she be a sneaker male?
So I have a pair of Ap. Bitaeniata Tefes that I got from Jeff @ AQ that I have come to really love. Unfortunately I can't give them the proper water conditions I'd like to since I live in a condo. That didn't stop them from spawning in the past but I've only noticed very low numbers of fry...
I am looking to make some room for new fish and am looking to sell my reverse trio of Ap. Barlowi red face. This is one of the two mouth brooding apistos. Asking $50 for the trio. I also have about 10 Cac fry about 3 months old if anyone is interested. Asking $25 for 6. Shipping is $45...
Lately I have been having problems with my bbs eggs not hatching. I use two tbs of non-iodized table salt, a two liter bottle with about 3/4 of it filled with warm water and about half a tsp of brine shrimp eggs. I do not use a heat source. The eggs are from Brine Shrimp Direct and were...

This is the first time I have had a multiple spawn going on at the same time in one tank. My group of 5 f1 cacatuoides seemed to show no interest in spawing for the last three months and all of a sudden all three females have eggs. This is pretty cool, kind of wondering what brood care is...
Looking to see if anyone has a lone or spare male Ap. Barlowi (red face) for sale. My male recently has gone missing and no matter where I have looked I can't find him. Let me know if you have one for sale.
So I have been using store bought RO water and soaking it for 3 days with sphagnum peat moss. When I test it the ph level is about 6.6. After a couple of days in the tanks the ph will jump back up to 7.6 and I can't seem to figure out why or what is making it jump back up. I have sand for...
A buddy of mine told me he was feeding some of these guys to his fish and suggested I try em for my Apistos. Anyone else use em, any tips on culturing them and what to feed them?
Anyone know any good target fish I could put with my Apistos? Generally would prefer some kind of SA target fish but any suggestions welcomed. Target fish not to be confused with dither fish.
Anyone feed decap bbs eggs to their Apistos fry? Just curious as to if the fry will take them. I know Apistos can be picky eaters and don't really want to waste money of foods they won't eat. Mine don't touch the frozen daphnia I bought so I don't want the same results. I am wanting to buy...
My male cacatuoides just turned really dark as of a few hours ago and he's just hanging in the corner where my canister filter inlet is. He's not moving and I tried to feed him some earlier today but he wasn't too interested. Tested the water and everything is fine so I'm worried since I can't...
So I have my female with fry in a seperate 10g tank. Last night she started loosing her bright yellow color but it came back this morning. Now she has lost her bright yellow and no longer is hanging around her fry often swimming by herself. Should I remove her, does the mean she might eat her...
I know that she laid eggs about 4 days ago (checked) but like I have stated in a previous post I have harder water then cacatuoides would like to breed in. I believe this is her 2nd or 3rd time laying eggs but this is the first time I've seen her kick sand to cover a part of the entrance. Does...
I have 3 females and 2 out the 3 have turned really yellow. They both seem ready to spawn but the male doesn't seem interested. Do males showcase any spawning behaviour I'm missing out on. He usually curls his tail and thrashes it at the female but nothing else. I was wondering if there are...
I was wondering around what age do cacatuoides(any apisto really) become mature or ready to spawn? One of my females seemed ready to spawn about a week and a half ago showing yellow and aggressively chasing the others away from her cave but the male did not seem interested in her. The following...
