And with a single Trifasciata male, I'm officially joining in the Apisto thread. Haha.
Thanks to bro Edwin for starting me off. I'm pretty sure he's going to poison me some more soon, judging by what he has in his tanks.

Ask you all, how many of you all manage to convert your apisto to eat pellets and what kind of pellets? Mine still feed on frozen brine shrimps
Hmmm, all my apistos eats pellets (tetrabits) fbs and fbw are only their treats :-)

Okay... Have to wait for the fry to grow bigger and once I transfer the fry to another. Then I try to convert them to pellet.
Oh, didnt know that its still fry, well last time when im breeding i gave them BBS and microworm culture and some crushed NLS pellets.

No no... You got me wrong, I am feeding my adult apisto with frozen brine shrimps all the time. Now the pair has spawn again and right now there are many fry swimming with the mama apisto. I worry that if I cut down the frozen brine shrimp feeding, the adult might feed on the fry. So now I thinking of feeding as per normal and wait for the fry to become bigger, then I will isolate the fry from the adults and then convert the adult to feed on pellets
The mama will chew the pellets and spit out the small particles for the baby apistos. U can manually crushed the pellets and feed the baby if u want
Aiya, now my apisto all hooked on frozen blood worm. Feeding them pellet they dont even look at it.
Lucky mine still feed a bit on hikari pellet.. Lol

Just a quick question.. Does anyone have any idea what an Ap. Trifasciata biotope looks like? I have myself a Gex 450 tank (using ADA powder soil to keep pH down, so its not exactly a 100% biotope, but necessary for ease of maintenance) and a pendant-type LED for dim lighting over a small section of the tank. Just bought like 4 branchy drift/bog woods from GC this afternoon to somewhat emulate a root system (which I assumed they would have in their natural habitat). The problem I have now is really the plants. I've read various reports on how Ap. Trifasciata are slightly different in that their natural environment has a fair bit of plants.. But, I have no idea what plants. Anyone has an idea what I should be looking for..? As of now, I only have those cheap java fern & windelov (attached on driftwood) but I'm not really liking how they look.. Especially the windelov (too bushy). A video or pictures would really help.
Thanks.

Hi Bros, watch this presentation by a collector about collecting apistos in the wild and an explanation of their habitat...It will help you set up your tanks. Some basic conclusions
The more drab species come from clear waters and the more colorful species come from murkier waters. This is because bright colors stand out in murky waters to attract females
The habitat is generally generally packed with leaf litter
Enjoy the presentation

Tnx bro Mir for the link. At least we know how it is in the wild.Hi Bros, watch this presentation by a collector about collecting apistos in the wild and an explanation of their habitat...It will help you set up your tanks. Some basic conclusions

No problem Bro lewpoh! Must share info to promote the hobby
Didnt know that Y618 still open past 10pm, manage to get my pellets for my beloved fish :-)

I think they always intend to close at about 9.30pm but customers still stream in at that time, so they end up always closing around 10pm. Don't think they will chase people out if you are already in there. Haha. I'm going to need pellets too.. My new Trifasciata isn't taking to the NLS cichlid formula. Sigh!
