My Trio Of Cacatouides

[ApistoNut]

I have a famous trio of apistogramma cacatuoides, both females have fry and keeping themselfs at each end of the tank and the dad seems to be ok with this as he just roams around and not disturbing either groups. Im so glad I have finally bred successfully!!

Will be selling them in about 2 months if anyones interested?

Congrats! As far as selling, you would need to post that in the classifieds section and I would suggest doing that when they are ready to sell instead of 2 months in advance. Do you have pictures?

 

[ApistoNut]

no i dont, they are all in well hidden places behind my large piece of bogwood and java moss. Maybe when they start to roam about i can get a few pics

I could be interested in them to go in my other tank at some point, the fry I got from you are pretty big now and getting very faint colour to their fins

 

[ApistoNut]

they should colour up lovely, they are from a triple/double red strain. if you think that you maybe have 2 males the seperate them to see them really colour up. well maybe you might be interested in my apistogramma macmasteri for sale? if not i can def save some fry for you as you are a loyal customer

I can't quite tell what I've got yet but there's 2 who are ALWAYS together, 1 lone ranger and 1 whose way smaller than the others lol. They are all free and swimming around the tank properly now and they are growing a lot quicker.

I need to get rid of the common plec I got lumbered with in my other tank before I can get any more fish in it, but I would definitely be interested in either the macmasteri or more cacs.

 

[ApistoNut]

ive been trying to sell my plecs for ages lol just keep them they are a good vacumn cleaner

 

[NathanPrince]

Thing is he's like 9.5" in a 3 foot tank. Doesn't seem fair to keep him cramped in there so want rid, not to mention the poop and plant digging!

Have you ever heard of a Dwarf Bristlenose Pleco? They are about 4 to 5 inches long (full grown) and do a lot better job at cleaning.

 

[ApistoNut]

I have a bn and a clown pleco they do there fair share, if you can't get rid of the common plec best bet is to offer to a LFS

 

[NathanPrince]

Yeah I'll take him somewhere where he can actually fit the tank lol

 

[ApistoNut]

or what about taking him to the zoo?

 

[NathanPrince]

I was thinking about either the zoo or @bristol but do I just walk in with a plec in a bag of water and ask them if they want it?
