Your Favourite Apistogramma!

[Don90]

My favourite is ap. sp mamore red (I forgot what the new name is). My first "not so common" apisto, from apistoworldhk.

And my other favourite is ap diplotaenia.

I used to really like caca "orange flash", but theres just too much inbreeding going on. Deformaties like strange looking heads and lateral lines make me turn away from this captive strain.

Siblings!!!

congrats once again marle

[shrimppaste]

My super favourite is T. Candidi even though it's not in the genus Apisto.

[doppelbanddwarf]

Congrats marle. Do ther parents chase away the earlier batch or leave them alone?

[marle]

Thanks guys, the mother doesn't seem too affected by the later batch. They let them mix together. Its probably due to the later batch not being too old.

wow...your factory produce again. Good achievement!

exotic_idiot: I heeded your advice. Got them Adult Brine Shrimps today. Prefer them to worms. Don't really like the iggly wiggly stuff. Lol.

Sorry for the late reply bro, been busy at work as been target for frequent looking at fish forum by boss hahaaa
Yup, you see adult brine shrimps do the magic?
Congrates dude.. Happy fries raising...!

Already no time, how i wander those fathers with a few kids how to manage their time? Now mostly just feed them once a day and spot check every alright, i'm happy even just get to spend 15mins staring at them.!

Marle: Hey bro, why want to sell your pairs??? No place raise the fries huh??? Buy somemore tanks or go for upgrade, that's the best solution.

you are right! the fries are giving me a headache. No place to put the tanks too. All my fish tanks are in my room thus not much space for upgrade. Any solutions?

solution is to get more tanks and place them outside your room

I can always help to relieve you some headache if you like.

Now my lone adult ap.elizabaethe is giving me headache, refusing to eat anything for weeks. Very timid, always hiding. Think sooner or later going to meet his wife...

Feeding tubiflex to elizabaethe, fries or adult proved fatal. Now only left 5 juveniles, suspected the adult female also died becos of tubiflex.

[genes]

Did you clean out the tubifex before feeding? Like soak and rinse them in clean water several times before feeding? If not, they probably died from some parasites that comes with or within the tubifex worms. I thought you would have already learned that feeding live tubifex is shun by many apisto keepers?

[SCOPE]

indeed...this is no. 1 WOE to apisto keeper

[mobile2007]

Well, my really careless mistake. I don't usually feed tubi to apisto, only frozen blood worm nowadays. Even frozen blood worm, only once or twice per week and this elizabaethe don't take FBW. The male eliza was seriously intimidated by the female ( during spawning) and refused to eat the usual stuff ( bbs, brine shrimp, pellets). So, i got the tubiflex to test it out. Did wash it quite a few times. Didn't expect so vulnerable to tubi.

Anyway, this morning the male apisto also up the lorry ( surprisingly i am happy it has ended its suffering ). R.I.P.

[marle]

is it okay to feed them FBW daily?

[genes]

I do not think its a problem since those by hikari have been cleanse and processed before packing. But if you are still worried, don't take the risk then. Feed them brine shrimps.

[exotic_idiot]

Have to really wash cleanly before feeding tubi to your fishes.. Ask your local lfs whether the tubi is it fresh or not first before buying.
I prefer to get live brine shrimps safer then go through so much trouble.
Even though they are more expensive.
