Its so fun to be breeding and raising the Apistogramma. I have spent a lot of time watching them and learning about their behaviors and am super excited to share them with you! If you liked this video, give it some LOVE and *SHARE it with friends*
That's really cool about the ventral fins, I'm waiting for my cacatuoides to spawn again now. The first set of eggs mysteriously disappeared over night and now I know the fry aren't just hiding because the female hasn't been displaying her fins.
I love watching your videos and getting to learn new things about our aquatic friends. I’ve taken a bit of an interest in Apistogrammas recently, so that was really cool!
You're making me want to breed different kinds of fish now. I've only really been interested in bettas and guppies, but now I'm wishing I was able to fill my room with tanks of breeders of all kinds.
They are definitely worth it. Much easier then most Apiso species. I only have one Male atm..so I wonder how they would do with multiple males in a 20.
Watched this video multiple times, my first attempt with these same type I got from GCCA sadly failed miserably about 2 years ago. I am thinking about giving it a second try and pick some at the swap this weekend. Thanks for re-inspiring me about this species.
Very fascinating! Thank you for the very thorough video. Love how you're always very in depth with your videos. Keep up the amazing work and thank you!
When they "drop down", they are actually fully hatched and called "wrigglers". A lot of SA Cichlid wrigglers have glands on their heads that make a sticky thread. The parents use the thread to keep them in a small space to keep an eye on them. Cool video!
I have a pair of Apistogramma Cacatuoides, but my male is almost totally yellow. Must be a different strain. I can’t wait to see what happens. Great vid! 👍🏻
Great video👍I'm an Apisto addict and dispite my many spawns I've never had them spawn where I could see the eggs! You are very lucky! I'm currently working with 6 species and am having particular issues getting Apistogramma Elizabethae and Apistogramma Mendezi to spawn! Driving me crazy! You've a new sub and just to say hi from England.
Wow so many different varieties. I would slowly like to get into more as I'm super new to Apistogramma. Do you have any advice on raising the spawns? I lost both due to cross contamination of spironucleus :(
That's how it started with me :D I now have 11 silvertip tetra's, 3 corydoras panda (2 died :(... ) and 1 male and 1 female cockatoo cichled in my 32 gallon
Awesome video but slightly more specific like the day # after spawn would have made this the perfect video I was looking for. Still curious how long these guys are gonna wiggle around my cave for before I can count them and love them up to adults. Lol
wow he's stunning. I've recently started to look for a pair but I'm having difficulty distinguishing the color variations. I've seen a picture of an Apisto male that has blue and yellow pelvic/ventral fins a yellow belly and red spotted dorsal and caudal fin. Do you maybe have an idea?
Hello, thanks for sharing such an amazing video. I have two questions: -How did you manage to get all the little ones into the breeding box? -How old should the fry be when I have to move them into a breeding box? My apistos eggs hatched yesterday and it is my first time. Thanks for you help!!! Best
Great video, thanks for this since i just got some my self and needed som information about how they act and what to use for the eggs. Any advice on what to use more than an pvc pipe? Its hard to find an small opening cave that pretty much only the female canswim into and not other fishes.
Great video. You Don't See too many about apistogramma anymore. They're all a year or two old. So thanks for keeping us updated. I just start getting into apistogramma agassizii Fire Red and had my first spawn as well. My water in Chicago is fairly hard. So nothing happened until I start putting in DI water to soften the water. To get my pH closer to 7.2. How about you. What's your water parameters pH KH and GH thanks for sharing
I just watched you on Tazawa tanks. I almost forgot you have dwarf cichlids. May i suggest on your next caption, "how to" usually gets a lot of views. *pelvic fins 😁
Is it okay to let the breeding Female and her fry stay in a 20gallon planted community tank that has 4 German Rams, 2 Amano Shrimps and 1 spotted Pleco?
hi i was just watching your betta breeding videos and it looks like you have some sort of soil at the bottom? i been really thinking about using soil but not sure.
my male is being super aggro towards my female. her fins are all messed up. is it possible they just wont like eachother? or is it a tough love type of thing. Im trying to spawn them, I also removed one other female or sleeper male from the tank and it has 10 rummynose in it
Can someone please tell me, does the males colors fill in as they mature? For example I have a Male and his tail is half colored. Also his dorsal fin is not fully colored, will this change
Sooooooooo awesome I love apistogroamas they act and look awesome this fottige looks awesome love you have a good night everyone !!! Also will you sell them and do you ship to the UK because I am interested!!!
I will be selling them locally as I'm not sure how well they would ship. Unfortunately, I dont have an export liscence to ship outside of the USA but if you look on aquabid.com you might find some
That’s a beautiful fish you have there I have a double red male but he does not have so much vivid color. Where did you get him and do you plan on selling your babies?
I bought them in a rare fish auction at my local fish club. Atm I think I'll be selling the babies back to the club so other people can breed them locally. I'm not sure how well they would ship.
That’s great! May I ask another question? What temperature do you keep youer micro worms at? I am going to start some cultures of microw worms (just ordered them).
Hi this has nothing to do with this video but when I bred my betta and now there about 3 months old but they are still small but you can see they have tail and pectoral fin but the only thing that is missing is the Ventral fin which they don't have it what should I do
Its so fun to be breeding and raising the Apistogramma. I have spent a lot of time watching them and learning about their behaviors and am super excited to share them with you!
If you liked this video, give it some LOVE and *SHARE it with friends*

Can they eat vinegar eels
I would love to have one
Hi what is the best ph for them to spawn in ? My ph is 7.2 any advice on how to lower it. Tia
I’m 63 years old and I worked at jersey pet supplies in New Jersey when I was 19. Cichlids are my absolute favorites.
Thinking about starting over.
How cool is that! They are so fun to watch protecting fry. Congrats!
Great video -- getting my first trifasciata today -- so excited!!!
That's really cool about the ventral fins, I'm waiting for my cacatuoides to spawn again now. The first set of eggs mysteriously disappeared over night and now I know the fry aren't just hiding because the female hasn't been displaying her fins.
What a great mommy! I have learned so much from you.
I love watching your videos and getting to learn new things about our aquatic friends. I’ve taken a bit of an interest in Apistogrammas recently, so that was really cool!
I really appreciate all your efforts and vids, each one of them is authentic. You're one of kind in the petube family.
Thank you! That means a lot to me!
You're making me want to breed different kinds of fish now. I've only really been interested in bettas and guppies, but now I'm wishing I was able to fill my room with tanks of breeders of all kinds.
Beautiful fish! I’ve wanted them for my empty 20g and this made me want to get them even more now.
They are definitely worth it. Much easier then most Apiso species. I only have one Male atm..so I wonder how they would do with multiple males in a 20.
Awesome vid, my apisto cacatuoides super red just laid eggs in their little cave/tunnel. Can't wait :D
Watched this video multiple times, my first attempt with these same type I got from GCCA sadly failed miserably about 2 years ago. I am thinking about giving it a second try and pick some at the swap this weekend. Thanks for re-inspiring me about this species.
Looking good, Thank you for sharing Kasia. Good luck raising them 👍😃.
Thank you 😊
Very fascinating! Thank you for the very thorough video. Love how you're always very in depth with your videos. Keep up the amazing work and thank you!
I love ur videos im about to buy my first pair !!! and i cant wait !
When they "drop down", they are actually fully hatched and called "wrigglers". A lot of SA Cichlid wrigglers have glands on their heads that make a sticky thread. The parents use the thread to keep them in a small space to keep an eye on them. Cool video!
Thank you, very helpful. My borellii have just spawned for the first time.
I have a pair of Apistogramma Cacatuoides, but my male is almost totally yellow. Must be a different strain. I can’t wait to see what happens. Great vid! 👍🏻

I have them and they have right now babys 💜
Cutest apistogramma mamma!
Awesome video but slightly more specific like the day # after spawn would have made this the perfect video I was looking for. Still curious how long these guys are gonna wiggle around my cave for before I can count them and love them up to adults. Lol
Well done!
Nice video. (1) what is the make model of the breeder box (2) do you have an air source going to it or does it just float inside the tank?
wow he's stunning. I've recently started to look for a pair but I'm having difficulty distinguishing the color variations. I've seen a picture of an Apisto male that has blue and yellow pelvic/ventral fins a yellow belly and red spotted dorsal and caudal fin. Do you maybe have an idea?
What is name of the food you are feeding the babies? I couldn't understand what you said in the video. Great info btw!
Cool. VIDEO just got a pair!🙏🙌💪😎#SQUADUP
Hello, thanks for sharing such an amazing video.
I have two questions:
-How did you manage to get all the little ones into the breeding box?
-How old should the fry be when I have to move them into a breeding box?
My apistos eggs hatched yesterday and it is my first time.
Thanks for you help!!!
Best
Wish you would have provided details on the timeline... how many days to free swimming etc..ty
Great video, thanks for this since i just got some my self and needed som information about how they act and what to use for the eggs. Any advice on what to use more than an pvc pipe? Its hard to find an small opening cave that pretty much only the female canswim into and not other fishes.

So nothing happened until I start putting in DI water to soften the water. To get my pH closer to 7.2.
How about you. What's your water parameters pH KH and GH thanks for sharing
u should use ADA aqua soil Amazonia V1 (yellow letters) to put the pH at 5.5-6. u check it at after 5-14 days cycle the fish tank
I just watched you on Tazawa tanks. I almost forgot you have dwarf cichlids. May i suggest on your next caption, "how to" usually gets a lot of views.
*pelvic fins 😁
I'm really Early I love animals
Very nice recording ;)
nice
Is it okay to let the breeding Female and her fry stay in a 20gallon planted community tank that has 4 German Rams, 2 Amano Shrimps and 1 spotted Pleco?
Lol I actually learned a lot from your channel , *my favourite white girl* keep it up 😎😎😎
These fish are so beautiful!! Are you still selling Bettas?
Can you talk about guppies or balloon molly please if you can. Thanks. Btw love the vid.
Great video. What temp do you spawn at? What do you feed the adults?
Cheers,
Chris
HI! I know this is 5 years late lol, but 80-82 will be your best bet for sure.
Where do you get your Apistogramma from and can you keep them in a 10g tank with live plants i only have a 10g tank and I like to keep some
Hi ! My apistogramma is making eggs but she ended up eating them, do you know why? Thanks
hi i was just watching your betta breeding videos and it looks like you have some sort of soil at the bottom? i been really thinking about using soil but not sure.
And what else can you keep them with i like to keep me a blue Ram
my male is being super aggro towards my female. her fins are all messed up. is it possible they just wont like eachother? or is it a tough love type of thing. Im trying to spawn them, I also removed one other female or sleeper male from the tank and it has 10 rummynose in it
what size are they when they can breed
I know this is an old video but I was wondering how you managed to get them into the breeder box?
I've done it before the answer is very carefully. You gotta catch them
What temperature do you keep the tank at and what were you feeding the parents? Thanks
Can someone please tell me, does the males colors fill in as they mature? For example I have a Male and his tail is half colored. Also his dorsal fin is not fully colored, will this change
Sooooooooo awesome I love apistogroamas they act and look awesome this fottige looks awesome love you have a good night everyone !!! Also will you sell them and do you ship to the UK because I am interested!!!
I will be selling them locally as I'm not sure how well they would ship. Unfortunately, I dont have an export liscence to ship outside of the USA but if you look on aquabid.com you might find some
Creative Pet Keeping ok thanks !!
Oliver Blackhall Where abouts are you in uk?
Just brought some sunset ones red
What do u feed them? Mine won’t eat.
hi.. this isn't a double red.. it's a beutiful triple red...
congret by the good especimes!!
That’s a beautiful fish you have there
I have a double red male but he does not have so much vivid color.
Where did you get him and do you plan on selling your babies?
I bought them in a rare fish auction at my local fish club. Atm I think I'll be selling the babies back to the club so other people can breed them locally. I'm not sure how well they would ship.
when they hatch do you have to take them or have to take them away from their parents
i came home to some fry and have no idea what to do
Iam going to breed mine also
Some species of apisto are way easier than other species.
You isolation are right because they will eat small fish
Is that a regular 10 gallon tank?
when is the betta fry update?
These are triple red no?
Haha, potato quality, thats how i feel trying to take pictures of my new baby plecos
Betta update!
I think the next video might be a betta video
Cool. How are you’re betta baby’s?
One of then already turned cellophane..early!! I'll make an update video soon ^_^
That’s great! May I ask another question? What temperature do you keep youer micro worms at? I am going to start some cultures of microw worms (just ordered them).
The you got fish for sale I've been interested to buy a couple pair
Hi, how long do you leave the female in with the fry for?
Until they're big ! The female raises the fry
Is it a 10 gallon
Those colours are result of artificial selection or are they like this in nature?
These ones are pretty close to the natural coloration ^^
I can't find apistos locally. Can you recommend any online sellers?
Maybe you can try aquabid.com or talk to your local fish store and ask if they can special order them for you ^_^
Those are triple red not double red
hi my betta appears to have a rectal prolapse. have you seen this before? i don't know what to do. theres not much info on it.
Oh wow.. I have never heard of this for fish. Maybe its extra big poop?
thats what i thought at first but it's pinkish in color and it's been a couple of days
Where would you srll them
I will be selling them locally to GCCA club members and maybe if I have more..at the GCCA swap meet
Hi this has nothing to do with this video but when I bred my betta and now there about 3 months old but they are still small but you can see they have tail and pectoral fin but the only thing that is missing is the Ventral fin which they don't have it what should I do
There are a few theories. One is that if you dont use aquarium salt..the bacteria on the bottom of the tank eat the ventril fins
Ok thanks
Are you polish?
Yup!
First!
Lovely... I want to breed these
