So, this is a very broad question and one that I'm sure someone will give me grief for even asking...but...
I ran across the map for type localities of various Apistogramma species (I think someone in here steered me toward it a while back, but can't be sure). Anyway, I recently ran across a...
Hey, everyone.
Been a minute since I've posted, but that wasn't intentional. I'll start by saying thank you to everyone who commented on my previous threads (honest replies or smart ass ones, all are appreciated...HA!). I've been very successful at spawning and raising A. borellii, A...
New pair of A. panduro, and they just spawned about a week after introducing to tank. They are a known pair from before, and I’ve read that they typically form a true (as close to as is considered in nature, anyway) monogamous pair, but I was curious if this was one of the species I’ve heard...
So my A. cacatuoides finally produced fry, as indicated in a previous post. I had the pair, all fry (15-20?), and 9 black neon tetras in a 40 breeder, heavily planted (trust me, it’s HEAVILY planted) tank. All was fine. Female was doing a GREAT job at raising fry, everyone left them alone (the...
I know most here probably won’t think anything of this, but my A. cacatuoides pair FINALLY bred! Here are a couple pics of the female with fry.
Now, as with most things, opinions seem to be split, with some removing fry, some removing male only, and some leaving them all together. I KNOW every...
So I know this may be a stupid question and someone will likely have some smartass answer, but is there any decent identification guide to the Apistogramma genus? I ask because, as a wildlife biologist, I frequently use dichotomous keys and field guides to aid in the identification of native...
So I hate sexing gold rams. Hate it. BUT, what are your thoughts on this one? I’ve asked a few people in random groups and seems like opinions are split, but lean one way. What do you all think? Female or sub-dom male?
Picture is horrible (sorry!) and it’s in a bag, but I was told it was one thing, and as soon as I saw it when picking it up I knew it was something else. Just not sure what…??? At least it was free…haha!
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
Hey! Just curious, but is this what they talk about when they say typical breeding behavior? Used to have these two in a 20 long and they only ever spawned once (as far as I could tell) in about 6 months, and that was immediately after I got them. The male usually just seemed not interested. Now...
Hey everyone. I’m kind of new to keeping Apistogramma and was excited to learn about this forum. I’m a wildlife biologist from eastern Kentucky in the USA with lots of experience in native fishes, so that’s one reason Apistogramma interest me so much (massive diversity in genus mixed with tons...
