Where in england do you live because the water over much of the country is not advantageous to the hatching of south American dwarf cichlids. If your water is too hard or the pH is too high this can stop the eggs from getting fertilised. If this is the case the fish will eat the brood of egg as...

I hope you do know that ram are a Cichlid them selfs so you will have some territory issues in your tank. Having said that your best bet for an apisto to add would be a trio of borellii. These are one of the least aggressive apistos around.

To say that all Cichlid can adapt to high Ph nonsense. There are many cichlids that prefer a pH great than 7 this is true with one Cichlid living in the most alkaline live fish in the world with a Ph of 11. But there are many west African and south Americans that would not survive long at a...

Apistogramma cacatuoides is probably one of the easyest of all apistos to keep and breed. Their Ph should be some where between 6.5 and 7.5 Water hardness is not too important but if you live in London you may find that it is a little too hard for them to breed. The best tank size to start...

It really depends the size of the sand. Anything less than 1.5 mm will just not work it may well clog the plate. But more than that it will not let enough water through.

It is just my opinion. Will they? This is unfortunately is not always true. A male apistos will keep a territory are large as he is capable of holding 3" male is more than capable of doing this and a female will do the same. The reason this is because for a male the larger his territory the...

For general care the above is true. But for breeding it gets a little more complicated. I have kept and spawn over 12 species wild Apistogramma and have found that they will take all food you offer. Apistos are generally detritus feeders and spend most of there time sifting on the bottom of the...

I'm not very good with the gallon of tanks with all cichlid it the floor area which is important not the volume. I'm guessing your tank is about 18" long by 12" wide if this is the case a pair of most dwarfs should be okay. However i would not sujest getting Rams they are not an easy fish to...

Less demanding than what? They need good water but other than good water change as good husbandry they are oretty easy to keep and breed.

I'm here and nice to see you too. It's one of the problems with apistogrammas one spiece one tank or at least for breeding. Oh to have my shed.

Has anyone in the hobby seen a female yet?????

If you want to add some a piar of cichlid your best be is either a pair of Apistogramma cacatuoides or borelli. Both are quite nice looking fish and are easy to keep and do not need any special water conditions. Though if you would like something diffrent i have some A. sp. "Inca" take a look...
