Hey mate cool video I have a question for u I've got 4 female cacatudoides to 1 male I was just wondering if they will still breed with a bristlenose placo in the same tank
Hey Nick, my Apistos just had a bunch of fry, just watched your video again for any pointers I may have previously missed, a question I do have if you have time to answer, what kind of markers do you use at your store to write on your tanks, I've tried grease pencils, and paint markers but they don't look as nice as the writing on your store tanks. I've been meaning to ask for some time now, Thanks and keep the interesting videos coming!
I feel it should be said. Depending the type of apisto you want to get. Some are easy some are harder. Cockatoo macmasteri borelli are way easier compared to other and some are super forgiving.
Wow, that female apisto skulks around in the shadows and looks just like mine does lol. I just have mine by herself (other than sterbai corey's and all-female blue ram cichlids), and I can't find much info on apisto b. Inca's. Would she do better with a buddy or does it not matter?
I have beautiful triple reds that have had fry. They are about 4 weeks old now and growing well . They are still in the tank with parents. When should I take them out? Male is good dad. Have have some die off .. but still have around 30.
Hi. Really enjoy your videos. Would you consider doing a new apisto breeding video with all the things you learned from when you first started to breed them?
Hey man I missed the vid unfortunately but came home today to apisto fry!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes, as I had my 2 endler females drop on monday and tuesday, and I come home wednesday to apisto fry! I never thought I could breed the Njisseni either, everyone says they're very difficult. But I just added an almond leaf to my already super acidic tank, got it down below 6 and viola! I have since increased pH and hardness for all my other fish. BTW @KFS I'm literally going to be copying what you do when raising your fry as mine are only a week behind. Only difference is if I want to keep them with the mum, they'll be in my 29 gal community. Higher chance of getting eaten and harder to feed I think, but they're hiding in mulm and java moss rn, under my driftwood so they should be safe and well fed. Either that or I can try to catch some out to move to my 5 gallon fry tank to be raised along with my 100+ guppy fry lol. Or I could empty out a breeder box and use that. Opinions anyone? What should I do?
Love your videos. I have had 4 different types of apistogramma. I am still new to breeding them but managed to breed Borelli, macmasteri and cacatoides double red. For these types I found that the line bred varieties don’t need soft water as much as the wild caught ones. And types like macmasteri preferred soft water. Where I live I have hard water with a pH of 7.8 and very hard water.
Hey nice video. I have a question. My Apistogramma has lay eggs. It's been about 6 days later and she still didn't come out with her baby's. I not sure if she still has her eggs, because she isn't that often in her breeding place, but she still keeps other fish away and sometimes she goes in to her breeding place. What do you think??? Don't mind my English, it's not my first language.
Also can you make a sequel video to this on raising the fry? Would really appreciate it. And if anyone wants some beautiful and rare apistos in Victoria, Aus for cheap, hmu. No idea how I'll get all them off my hands. Young apistogramma Nijsseni, born today, plentiful and beautiful from parents born of wild apistos. Basically F2, just I didn't breed the F1s.
Raising the fry isn't really that hard depending on the parents. I have a pair with fry and they're taking care of it themselves. Feed them baby fry food or if you have a very well cycled tank they will eat algae and microorganisms that manage to be in the tank. If you have big concerns with the parents eating the fry you can use a breeder box in the tank to keep the babies safe and you can feed them fry food until they get bigger or you can move them into tank that has similar or same water conditions. Depending the type of apisto you have they won't be picky on the water
@@Kobalt2772 Thanks so much mate. I've been going with that approach of leaving with their parents. I'm moving some to a 5 gallon community-fry grow out tank (thats a mouthful) as an experiment. My tank is perfect for the microorganisms as well, nearly a year old now, and filled with mulm, algae and plants. Thanks for the response tho.
@@caelanharamis5660 I've never had a problem with the fry. Just getting them to breed. My triple lines and macmasteri don't wanna breed they would rather idk..not do that
Hi Mate nice tank and really good looking pair of cacatoides Super red (not double red) . Just a couple things i disagree with and wouldnt suggest to people wanting to breed these. Firstly i wouldnt recomend feeding bloodworms at all because they dont have much nutritional value, also feeding bloodworms to Apistogramma will cause them to get bloated and will die soon after. Also i agree that cacatoides are easy to breed without ro water but this definitely does not apply to all Apistogramma. All other things you said where quite spot on and enjoyed watching the video. Keep up the good work.
Source for the bloodworms stuff? The aquarium keeping community is always split on bloodworms but I have a theory that it may be just the suppliers' fault for most of the low quality bloodworms in the market. I feed most of my fish bloodworms and I never get any big issues. I've gotten congo tetras, danios, blue rams, and two species of rainbows to spawn and/or get into spawning condition with bloodworms.
@@Constantine_Cvl8 blood worms are okay until they're not. And you visually won't be able to tell. I lost my 4 blue rams in less than 24 hours after they ate bad blood worms. All my other fish were okay. Get freeze dried worms or stay away, that's my personal opinion
Thnx so so much. Perfect. Just what I wanted. Entertain and informative. Stay safe
Thank you Steve!
I'm thinking of starting a fish channel like you after I get my fish and all of your videos have helped me get information. Keep up the good vids!
Hey mate cool video I have a question for u I've got 4 female cacatudoides to 1 male I was just wondering if they will still breed with a bristlenose placo in the same tank
Love your videos really good content never miss you videos
You’re an actual legend
Just got a couple of Apistogramma Cacatuoides for a Discus aquarium. Regards from Costa Rica!
Just got a pair apistogramma macmasteri gold variant today and within the 6 hours I’ve had them laid eggs
Great video. Would they be considered triple red or super red? I thought if they have red on every fin they are super red?

@@KeepingFishSimple I have double red that breed in 8.2ph hard water with no issues

Can you put the video on how to make the caves? You mentioned we can watch "that video" but you never put the link

Use breeder box it's easier

Thanks Neil! Yea they’ve obviously evolved a lot from the captive breeding!
How to breed apisto fire gold
now I want some and guess what I sold some guppies at a show yesterday they were teens
Hey nice video. I have a question. My Apistogramma has lay eggs. It's been about 6 days later and she still didn't come out with her baby's.

Best temp to keep them for overall health of them and fry ?
hey! does this apply to the agassizii fire gold too?
I have fire gold too, can you share some tips for breeding for them?
@@panyayorn8726 I was looking for tips too😂
@@riccardoricci9420 i just bought fire gold
what kind of filter do you recommend?
are they coming to your website mate
Yes available again soon
Where can I get my hands on some apistogrammas ????
I'll try.
ive always wondered how to do that
Also can you make a sequel video to this on raising the fry? Would really appreciate it.

how do you take out the fry?
are they like kribensis
I kind of want an apisto now
HAHA Don’t let the idea get the best of you
KeepingFishSimple yeah no kidding! Don’t think my parents would be too happy with another tank in the house...
Hello .. what is water parameters?
I'm on well water and breed them in a 4 gal tank

I got mines to breed with regular water.
"Shes hiding them form the male" ? Yea she did, from you :P
Can I breed apistos in the same tank with an angelfish
Yes you can, aquarium co op actually said that in one of his videos
First!
Hah!
this isnt 20 gal ! maybe 20 litres
