Apisotgrammas

[fish_keeper2]

im becomming interested in these guys. if you guys could provide links to where i can find info on these guys or links to places where i can order them that would be great. the reason y im interested is cuzz ive seen some nice ones with these beautiful fringed fins that are blood red and imo resemble fire. so ive now decided i wanted to try to get a hold of a pair and breed them.

ok i have identified the apisto i want: http/cichlidforum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1437
Apistogramma cacatuoides "triple red". so if anyone knows a good place to get these guys online(im in the US) that would be great.

Check www.aquabid.com you can find literally dozens of species usually. Then once you check the names you can look up info on any search engine online.

Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlids look very beautiful, but they cost like $60!

im just wondering: can i keep a pair of apistos in a 10 gal?

Hi there,

Same answer as when you were asking about keeping rams in a 10g tank. Yes... a pair will be OK but you will have to be strict with your tank maintenance to make sure the water stays perfect for them.

I would highly recommend a 20 gallon.
