Hello All
I have just started keeping Apistogrammas and have some questions for you.
I currently have one M & F - A.Viejita in a 33G tank with 5 corys and four neons.
I also have one M & F - A.Nijsseni in a 22G tank with 5 corys.
I hope to breed them and am thinking of putting the two sets of Apistogrammas in the 35G tank, and putting the other fish in the 22G tank.
Is the 33G tank big enough to do this (its size is: L - 100cm, W - 40cm, H - 50cm)?
Will the different Apistogrammas tolerate each other in the same tank ?
Will they be able to breed in this tank ?
Will the fry survive in this tank ?
I also have two Cacatuiodes in a 12G by themselves (got them two weeks ago), but all they seem do is display and chase each other, and it is not always the same fish that starts it, it changes each week.
The two are pretty simular looking to each other, apart from one being a bit bigger than the other.
They both have minimal red markings in there dorsal and anal fins, and the two of them are taking on a yellowly colour now.
They were sold as a pair from a lfs, and were the only cacatuoides in the tank.
Do some pairings not work out ?
As i have read you are better getting a few young ones and letting them pair off naturally, but i do not have the room to do this.
Thanks for any help,
Andrew.
