Something in my tank spawned right where the apistos (1M1F, mostly the female) usually hang out (when they’re not in the caves). There’s an incidental snail in the tank so I’m worried it might be that and I also have a few ethical concerns given that I got my A. Cacatuoides female with the...

Yeah, I’ll ask him—don’t think he’s sold fish to anyone outside of LFS before...

Hi! I just was sold a pair of Apistogramma Cacatuoides (Double Red) and was wondering whether there's a male and a female. They'll probably be a bit less stressed soon and could display more color but I'd like to know as early as possible so I can make sure to be careful of aggression. Let me...
