so how to prevent this?
The sub dominant female will be killed once they pair off.

bigger tank with lots of hiding places may help if the species is a harem species (i.e. 1 male can mate with multiple females). In such a case, each female may be able to establish territory on 1 side of the tank. Not sure if A. cacatuoides is a harem species, and i doubt 10 gallons is large enough even with lots of hiding places.
just to off topic,today jzx is open and i went there no new apistogramma arrivals.
JZX will inform whenever there is new apistogramma. Maybe you can check out their forum posting.

Congrats on yr Wilhelmi fries.
Yr Hongsloi is a sub-dominant male. The bad thing is that it's not a female. The good thing is that the colour & form looks very good. If you put it in its own tank with female, I think you will be surprised how beautiful the fish is.
Thanks! Know anywhere with hongsloi female?
Cheers,

hi bros Mordrake & Joopsg
EdwinTay's place is NOT a commercial fish shop.....haha
Regrettably, I do have 4 pairs of Hongsloi but I am trying to get F2s first because I want to make sure my "stock" has enough diversity to mitigate in-breeding. (Currently, 3 out of 4 pairs have recently spawned but I lost one spawn).
BTW, I may be opening house again on Feb 22 or 23 (depending on whether I can clean my tanks in time). As I mentioned, the purpose is NOT for sale, nor to boast but, to touch base with fellow apistos enthusiasts. Actually, I am thinking, since my house is close to Seaview & Sun Pet, perhaps we can meet in the morning at my place & after that proceed to Jln Kayu. Please reply so that I can gauge interest.
Please kindly share with us. I need to get clearance first.

hi bro Joopsg - I can understand yr position (the wife treats me nice so have to respect her - and also because I don't want to be nagged everyday). If it makes it easier for you, yr family (limited to 4 persons) is most welcomed too.
