Hi Ang,

Welcome to the forum.

Do share with us your apisto pictures, setup, etc.

We would love to exchange pointers in apisto keeping.

Cheers

Hiya,

Thanks Richard and Nicholas. Right now I keep angels, rainbow cichlids, shellies, abn, killies and west african cichlids... I have been looking at a pair of mouthbrooding apistos on aquabid which is how I found this site. I havent started with Apistos yet, but going in that direction for my next fishies!!!

Be well!

I believe the only mouth brooding apisto is A. sp. Maulbrueter

Heya Nicholas,

Thats exactly it. I am eyeballing a pair on AB for 20.00.. Very interesting. I have never kept any type of mouthbrooder before and thought this would be an awesome first for both Apistos and mouthbrooder!!

Ang,
You keep shellies and west African cichild?
Well I have some shellies and westies too.
Browse through the cichild forum and you should be able to see my photos.
Yes, the mouthbrooder seems very interesting, hopefully someday I have the chance
to keep them.

Hiya,

I have been looking around at the pics and they all seem awesome! I will try to get some more pics this week.

Richard, I currently have a 38 gallon with some Neolamprologus Multis and a 39 gallon with breeding Neolamprologus Brichardi (these arent usually called shellies, but mine have been breeding in large turbo shells)...

Then I have a 40 gallon with breeding Pelvicachromis Pulcher (kribs), 20 gallon with Pelvicachromis subocellatus, 10 with a pair of Albino Pulchers, 10 gallon with the Pelvicachromis taeniatius Nigerian Red in it... I also keep and breed many types of killies.

Here are some pics of a few of my tanks:
