What apistos are you keeping now?

[Cacatuoides]

Hi folks,

Would like to find out what species of apistos you guys are busy breeding currently....
(Breeding as in got babies now)


For me its Ap. Cacatuoides "Triple Red"

[leeruisheng]

Mmm... seems like everybody is keeping mum about it.
Ok, I keeping Ap. Elizabethae and Ap. Diplotaenia, but however not breeding yet. So what fries are you looking out for?

Cheers

[benny]

Well.... I would love to get started, but don't have the luxury of time. Shame.

I do have a trio of Nannacara anomala that I'm watching closely. Ok. Ok. They are not from the Apistogramma genus, but they are still dwarf cichlids.

Cheers,

I am breeding Ap Agassizii.....so far this is the 3rd female that i am trying... looking good so far (the way i define that is the both are still alive and swimming around happily)

[Cacatuoides]

Wilson: thanks for heating up the thread a little, i'm sure your little ones will breed soon under your extensive care...!!

Benny: Hey great stuff you've got there!!! Keep us updated on their progress, they are very unique and interesting dwarf cichlid to keep and breed as well....

Wonder what happened to the other guys who's having apistos in their tanks....Maybe can edit the thread to: What apistos are you keeping now?

[benny]

Maybe can edit the thread to: What apistos are you keeping now?

Ok guys, let's hear what other dwarf cichlids you are still hording!

Cheers,

[leeruisheng]

Now's term break so can dedicate more time. When semester starts, no chance of breeding. See, I told you. Everyone has secrets.

[Cacatuoides]

Wow! Thats fast job benny!! I'm sure there are lots more folks out there who are quietly keeping exotic apistos in their tanks!!!

Wilson: so better faster breed now so that when school starts, the fries are on their own already!!
