Apisto chat/LFS watchlist & etc

[outspoken]

Normally this type of disease got to do with the water conditions. Ammonia level or infected with internal disease.

You can try to do a partial water change..20%-30%. better if you have a spare tank to quarantine it.i use melafix. It's a 50-50 chance of survival.

Ap. Caca is quite easy to tell between male and female. And yes mostly male are well colored. If you are not certain then just go for the dull looking with no or hardly any pointed for dorsal or tail and best if you able to see the yellowish breeding mode on the body.

Normally i will go for the yellowish hint on the body to play safe. Get the most yellow looking. It's female and it's in the mood.

Actually any one of these will be good for a pair. But if you intend to keep broad body apisto like Ap. Viejita, Ap. Borelli,Ap. Inka then better to get the bigger type.

[outspoken]

[mobile2007]

Hey guys. Urgent. One of my megaptera male has got a problem. He just can't keep it's mouth shut and he is having difficulty swimming. May I know what type of disease is that?

So far, have not come across a cure for this symptom. The fish will not eat as its jaws appear to be 'locked'. So far it's 100% fatal for my fishes upon such symptoms.

I think most likely the demand is low, thus LFSs do not stock them.

[Luc Tango]

the cave you are talking about should be this one? I doubt anybody is bringing them in nowadays.

Yeah, highly possible. For quite sometimes the apisto scene was very quiet.

thanks for the pics, that's the cave i am looking for. Quite expensive compared to other type of cave, but the fish seems to like it very much.

Any LFS got new stock of apisto ??

[outspoken]

I Doubt so. C328 may have 1-2 species in the small glass tank.Last Week still the same Ap. Panduro and Ap. Agassizii. Y618 have 3 males of 2 Ap. Caca Orange and 1 Ap. Agassizii Alenquer. JZX still same stock as previously while Aquaone seems to have about 4-5 common species like Ap. Panduro,Ap.Trifasciata,Ap.Agassizii Alenquer,Ap.Viejita,Ap. Borelli & Ap. Caca Orange/Red and some higher price species like Ap. Viejita Gold,Ap. Inka50 and Ap. Bitaeniata RedBack.

I Guess best bet is to wait for JZX to bring in new stock as Aquaone just brought in middle of this month.

hi bro
may i know aquaone how much per pair Ap. Inka50 and Ap. Bitaeniata RedBack.??

[EdwinTay]

hi Guys

I believe that Stones has one of the cheapest apistos around. However, we have to pre-order. The last order (about 2 months ago), I was the only one who ordered. Perhaps we can consolidate our interest & send to Angus so that it's worthwhile for him to order.

I would be interested in at least the following;
1) Viejita Gold
2) Diamond Face
3) Hoignei
4) Uaupesi

@vic_tan, get a closer shot. It might be a female but to be sure one has to see a clearer pic. At firsf glance I think it's a female.

Regarding the cave, you can get at C328 or at GC. The cave is only suitable for smaller apistos. Others will require larger caves with a bigger opening.
