    Re: Apistogramma baenschi

    Try NLS or ADA food.

    That what I used to feed my apisto. =)

    With NLS pellets, YMMV. So don't expect instant results from it. Perhaps the NLS Thera A+ might be a good choice. Anything with a good attractant included as part of the ingredients (like garlic) is worth a try.

    Re: Apistogramma baenschi

    YMMV - Your mileage may vary.

    I love your inka female at the right hand side! Strong coloration! Your male at the left hand side seems to have a lot of potential too! I would also advise you to remove your left side female if its possible. Very stressful for her.

    Since we are on the topic of apisto feed, anyone has good reviews about frozen mysis shrimp? I know some people coat them with spirulina too. My apistos in the comm tank love NLS pellets and tetra pro colour, together with my tetras, cories, and whiptails. But the apistos in the breeding tanks would only take frozen/live food. In the absence of greedy tankmates (tetras) as an influence, it seems like the minute the apistos taste the forbidden fruit (frozen/live food), they refuse to take any pellets anymore. But when I throw them back into the comm tank, they seem to 'monkey see, monkey do' again. If not, they just keep popping the pellets into their mouths and spitting them out again when they are in their breeding tanks.

    Hope I'm not OOT, but it's nice to see such an active discussion amongst apisto enthusiasts

    Re: Apistogramma baenschi

    Thanks bro, yeah its great to get all the advice and tip coming in! A very BIG thank you to all whom have helped me out so far! Oh, I've removed the partition, and all seems well. The left side female has actually started growing her tail back. She's not so stressed since her male counterpart has another male to contend with and it seems that he's gained alpha status. The other male tends to shy away and seek shelter when he's up and about cruising the place. I think I'll have to start up my other tank soon and shift the left side female and right side male down. Let me know what you guys think!

    Re: Apistogramma baenschi

    Hmmm... Good review on frozen mysis in what sense? My apisto do eat them... While I try to alternate frozen mysis and frozen bw.

    If you can afford more space, be it financially or family members approval, giving more space is always good... Else, maybe can add a few more community fishes for distraction?

    If you don't need 2 pairs of the same species, might as well sell off one to conserve space.

    Or just use those net-type breeding traps to isolate the bashed up female. Give her time and she should probably recover as long as the water quality stays good.

    Maybe it's just me, I feel the poor female is quite poor thing to be kept in "prison"...

    Re: Apistogramma baenschi

    Let me know if you are letting go the other pair.

    I am very tempted to come back into this again.

    Just setup a tank that is suitable for apisto or cories.

    Haven't decided on the type of fishes. =)

    Good to see that people are still interested in these fishes.

    Alamak, go to joe's "fish-shop" to choose your species lah. So many left to choose from. Also, the adult baenschi that he brought back couple of months back is of very good quality. See if its still there lor.

    Re: Apistogramma baenschi

    Guys, I highly doubt I'll be selling my fish any time soon. Hahah! I love watching them and since they're my very first apistos, well, they do hold some sentiment with me. Hence, I think I'll keep them till they're old and wrinkled.
