Hi guys, so I was kind of curious about this topic. I usually breed my apisto pairs 1-2 times a year and I always said when my boys get old I will retire them and let them live the rest of their lives happy. But that got me to thinking, would my male be happy if he isn't breeding?
I know this is a question that really is based off opinions, but most of you guys have been keeping apisto longer than me so I'd like to see what you think. My first ever male is getting fairly old now, and he isn't quite so old that I'm considering this any time soon, but I do want to make sure that he lives out a long happy life with me.
So what do you guys think? Should he go off to his own tank somewhere, never to see a female again? Should I put him and his girlfriend together in a big sisplay tank and let them do as they please? Or maybe I should continue to allow him to breed but perhaps lessen the frequency?
