Hey peeps! I have got 2 batches of fries just borne. From my apisto caca triple red n vejita! Ahaha darn happy abt it.... Just feel like sharing!

Congratulations to you.

for SGD140... its a STEAL!!! do not wait... BUY!!!!!

$140 per pair for wild caught is even very very affordable. These fishes are not available always.

[Sinubux]

Have you gotten yourself a pair yet?

[mchw8055]

Thks man....
140 for a pair eh? i tht only Apisto elizabathe cost that much.. ahah
Anyway, i have called C328 for apisto elizabathe but its still not available... Hongsloi or Elizabethe... which would be recommended?

[doppelbanddwarf]

Which ever you fancy should be the one you get, after all the fishes are swimming in your tank at home. Typically hongsloi should be easier if you want to breed them, but I've not had first hand experience with them so I can't really say.
Several factors determine price. Wild caught, bred, confirmed pair, age etc.

i was offered SGD150 each at 3-5cm... WC... wanted photos... and its all sold!!! acted too slow!!!but i managed thru a friend... gotten a pair from up far north... aint cheap at all... 'northern' type of pricing... but its reality... no joke!!!

getting a 60x45x45... Wish end of the month is here faster!!!

[Sinubux]

Looking forward to that.

[mchw8055]

Well actually we are not allow to have a preview before we purchase. As in the colour will not b want u wanted when I ordered... Sigh. Not all hongsloi is that colorful... Hmm. Well.... Do u hve any idea W.C or farm breed differences?

[doppelbanddwarf]

Wild caught hongsloi are very dull compared to what was shown by Jitticus. Take a look at this link

I see.. Thanks for the Information


bro.. Ahah.
Have got tons of question marks! If ap hongsloi.ap veijita, caca triple red, ap Elizabethae and pebas.. Which can be with one another in a three ft tank? Lol. No
tank already. Planning to put them together.. But don't know which fish to put together with...sigh..

[doppelbanddwarf]

To breed I wouldn't put them all together. By putting several pairs together you risk losing weaker fish when a pair starts breeding. Even when not breeding the weakest fish will be picked on constantly.

[DestinyRider]

nice spawn, thanks for sharing !

[mchw8055]

Alright man! Thanks for sharing ! Well guess I'll have to get new tanks then... ahaha. Update u again! Hah..

[Sinubux]

I think you can minimize the damage by putting really alot of hiding spots for the weaker ones, but you do run into risks that your dominant pair is also hiding in some corners breeding. Would adapt a betta approach of breeding for my Adoketas when they hit the right size.

[SCOPE]

Con grates bro... it is great to hear that we too have our own regular Adoketa source....please continue to breed

[doppelbanddwarf]

SCOPE you are back! Haven't seen you in the forum in ages.

[Aquanoob]

SCOPE, good to see that you are back? Are you still into Apisto and getting some rare species back?

[SCOPE]

You have moved to Taipei? The apisto scene here has died down a lot. Most of the more experienced apisto hobbyists have stopped keeping them.

[SCOPE]

but you still work hard and even bred adoketa....wow
