Any Apisto Eliz red keepers around?

[huhengyi1986]

Just got myself an inka from GC. Couldn't resist the male colors.... Wahahaha I trying to mimick the GC water conditions. Once u get the right water parameters, the fishes look stunning!

i will be reducing the ph and softening the water using peat moss. Should I use those Ada soil that GC is using? Currently is sudo sand base tank...

[joopsg]

Hengyi, peat serve the same purpose. No need to get ADA aquasoil. Just put a few dw to tint the water..

I fave a 2ft tank with 4 pairs of apistos.

I pair Caca triple red
I pair trifaciata
1 pair Viejita Rio Meta
1 pair Irinidae.

Right now in the same tank, the Caca, Viejita and Irinidae have spawned with various stages of egg development. I expect to see the Irinidae fry soon as it's already 7 days since they spawned

I can't believe you can get so many simultaneous spawnings within the same 2 ft tank!!! Based on what I've read, this never happens.. Usually they say either have a very very large tank for multiple pairs, or keep each pair in individual tanks Any Bros have similar experience?

My tank is full of java ferns with a pH of 5.5 (I use sera peat). Eheim 2213 canister. I feed the fish once a day with frozen brine shrimp. WCs are 30% weekly.... No special treatment...

If you can provide sufficient covers for the pairs, I do not feel that there will be any problem spawning the fish. I believe the size of the fish also plays a part. Currently if the fishes are still small shouldn't be a problem, you start to see war when they get bigger.
Just want to check whether you dose any vitamin supplement, it will be good if you want to.
A good one to start off with Dennerle S7 which I had been using since I started to keep Apistogramma. It is also benefit the plant as well. You all can try it out.

What kind of apisto are you keeping?

Currently I am keeping caca together a small group of galaxy rasboras, a couple of Otos and 5 brown pencil fish.


As my caca are spawning, the female caca is very fierce and been chasing all other fishes, no fatal incident yet. However I do find some dried shrimps on my floor near its tank, probably the shrimps jump out when the caca chase them.

[solidbrik]

Have not zoomed in on a specific type of AP.. am thinking of setting up an office tank for them..probably a 1st smallish rectangle tank..love their colors..so am researching now and trying to find a suitable tank first. .This will most probably be sitting in office

anyway, recently 1 of my apistos i saw in the tank is encountering this problems:scratching itself on the thanks,and it also look emaciated also it has not been feeding.under this condition what treatment is needed?cause i have already changed almost have of the aquarium water already.and still like that.

[joopsg]

Too drastic change of water will affect fish. If there is a sudden change of water, they may succumb to white spot. Check for any sign of white poo or change in coloration.

intend to keep a pair of apisto in office. may i check will apisto survive without airpump?
company do not allow staffs to use the power plug..

[huhengyi1986]

Ehhh better not keep if no air pump. Unless 3 feet tank and just keep a pair of apisto so tt the oxygen can dissolve into the water surface
