Great video Nick! I enjoyed seeing these when I visited your store, I have never had the pleasure of keeping them my self but they are cool little Cichlids, it's great to see you breeding them for the hobby, you have an awesome setup! 🙂
I have been breeding tropical Fish myself for 45 Years (I'm 51) & I think it's just great how "easy" you breed some Fish Species & you succeed in breeding even Species that are difficult to breed.
My main Focus are Corys, smaller Plecos, Tetras, Livebearers (Halfbeaks, Goodeids, Micropoecilia, Xipho wild Forms).
You obviously have a "blue" Thumb". (In Germany there is a saying: if you are a good Gardener, "you obviously have a green Thumb") Wish you continued maximum success.
Many greets from the Middle of Germany
yeah he's a legend
@@TheShortsKingdom97 Absolutely 👍👍
Very nice specimens 💕 Try to get water from a tank where a pair has just bred. About 3 liters would do. Pour it to that orange flash tank. That water would contain pheromones that will entice the orange flash pair to spawn.
This is great that you are actually trying to breed apistos. They are a great fish. It would be great if there were lots of people keeping apistos. It's a great hobby and very rewarding and calming, especially if people try an aquascape and grow the plants. Thank you.
I waited for your video for days. I know you would be so busy with the new fish store. Your fish are all gorgeous. Thanks for the useful breeding method.
I’m on the same project I’ve a pair of orange and blues.mostly tanks with just pairs in..and I also use the odd endlers to keep the female observant towards her fry…Im breeding different kinds of kribs also..fascinating to watch there behaviour 👌🏻
Thanks for this very informative video. Your fish are beautiful and I am so amazed how easily you get so many of them to breed.
79°F is the golden temperature for an even sex ratio. If you want more males you wanna go higher temps. Lower temps produce more females. I raised a batch of 60 A. baenschi "Inka" at 74-76°F and ended up with 4 males and 54 females 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome to hear that you also yank the males out when their ladies are on eggs. I always thought I was just being paranoid but this method worked on several different species I've worked with in the past
I bred a batch of Orange flash at 77F and got 50 females 🤣 The breeder male died so I picked up two more males, raised the temp to 80F and fingers crossed. Of course they shut down and now I'm breaking out the alder cones and doing occult stuff to try and get them in the mood. Apparently, playing Bolero 8 hours a day doesn't even get them in the mood when they're not having it.
You're doing great Tom from New Jersey USA I wish more people would get involved with fish shrimp clams Guppies goldfish keep your water clean for the fish and more importantly people don't understand how important water is for drinking lots of pollution air pollution soil pollution you're doing a good thing keep every fish happy keep yourself happy stay positive
Great video mate! I absolutely love apistogrammas especially the cacatoids 😊! Thankyou for a very informative video , thanks nick 😊
The cokkotodies (sp) are my favorite. Years ago I had 2 pair that were wild caught. They had so many spots on the dorsal and tail fin. I used pots for breading and yes I had to take the male out because the first spawn that I keeped the male in the tank be ate them.
Really helpful, Nick. Thanks!
I bought some off you and they going so good I got little ones now
Fabulous video. I luv this.
Nice video mate, appreciate the effort!
Beautiful fish, thank you for the how to, very interesting
A very good and nice video as always! 👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
Great video explaining everything required 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Great help thx
Temps definitely influence gender in reptile eggs incubation. I have wondered about fish egg incubation, but never heard anyone touch on it, until today. Good luck!
Another great video!
I love apistogrammas. This is so cool
I just got Triple Red Apistos. Stoked!
Thank you for this
My appisto male also jumo out of the tank, its a really next level of getting some milk
They are very active so I usually put a net on the top of my tanks and lower the water level.
Super nice fish. Wish you were alot close to me. Keep up the good work. Good info on your videos.
great!!!
i have a mbuna tank
what kind of plants can i put in it?
thanks
!
great vid man
Love it
Hopefully I can make this work for my trifasciata. I've found with bettas I need to leave a dim light on until I remove the male, otherwise he either loses or eats most of the eggs, would you say that's a factor to consider for the apistos?
Great video, I'm late to the party but ive got a question? Ive bred an orange flash male with a super red female and dont know what to expect from the fry??
Really beautiful fish tanks you have 😉
Brilliant ❤
Awesome
Keep it up.
Love ur vids.
From Sweden...
Great video as always! I think I must have fluked it - 3 weeks ago I added a pair of Super Red Cacatoides to my Discus display tank and today I discovered the female guarding a large batch of eggs in a cave....being a Discus tank I keep it at 30c and apart from 30% weekly water changes I don't do anything special with the water and it's pH sits around 7.0....I'm undecided whether to wait for the eggs to hatch or take them out of tank - I doubt the Apistos ability to protect the fry from 8 large Discus....
Nice!
Hi! Great info as usual…been having a bit of bad luck lately with my eggs and they keep getting fungus ……any tips on that?? I’m adding methylene blue (1drop/liter) and plenty of dry leaves but still loosing tons of eggs……greetings from Canary Islands and keep the great job
hey, i currently have 4 angel fish they are 2 koi 2 albino they’re about 2-3 cm and the koi angelfish don’t seem to be eating at all and i’ve given them a while to adapt
3:36 holy moley.. those bosemanis are gigantic!!
Gorgeous fish 😍😍😩
Thank you NIck! I just got a pair of apistos and after a week in QT, they JUST laid eggs 🤣🥰🫥 Need to see what to do and appreciate the info!!!
I have a cacatouide that I am having a hard time determine gender. It has a slight yellow shine to it. But it also has colored fins. Is there a way to determine the gender other than just the colors. Or should it be super apparent?
You make great videos. In the Amazon Basin most waters ph at 3 to 5. So I wouldn't call a 6 very acidy.
I want a pair of cacatoos fire reds! Beautiful, I've had cichlids before but I'm downsized to a 20 hex and looking for critters for a somewhat community type.
Great detailed information. Thank you for the time you take to do them.
I like watching you vid's during lunch break and it is great to see that you are into Apisto's too. I am basiclly breading 95% Apisto's only - mainly really rare and tricky ones (currently diplotania, kullanderi, D37, sp. Cuira, D51, sp. Ladislao, psammophila). One thing I always recommend: you need to have escape space for females before spawning and males after spawning. I usually use a PVC tube hanging 4-5 cm below the surface - especially if the breading tank is rather empty. Helps to reduce stress and fatalities ... Cheers from Germany.
INTERESTING INFORMATION :)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
Hi, what about your garage breeding center, is ist cloosed? Or do you use both breeding rooms? rg Tobias
Any update on how the fry grew up? Did you get more males to females as hoped?
your a lad mate just bough t a pair of you arrived great thanks
you are so cool!
I keep apistos myself.panduro I find the easiest to breed.fantastic little fish I find.yes definitely included a dever fish..but it depends on the situation and the type of apisto..Steve 🇬🇧
Hey I have large planted community tank with live bearers and young ram cichlids, could I add a pair of cockatoo apistos to the large peacefully community tank
What’s the tds and gh of the water in there tanks
Can u make a video on black worm culturing
Good day Dave. My name is Louis. I live in Cape town South Africa. thanks for all your video love it and learn a lot from them ...I have have a question wounder if you can help...Where i live we do not find Walter worm cultures ...i was wondering how to i start my own culture from scratch ....thanks Regards from South Africa Cape town ..
Is it possible to leave the male in the tank with the fry and the female?
LOVE THE VIDEO, I’m trying to this UA-cam thing myself! And love the helpful video which I’m gonna try!
Ever bred corydora habrosus?
Super unrelated question but... I thought I'd ask anyways, what pen do you use to write on your tanks?
dark and back rams please :)
So you keep your tanks mainly without light or very dim light ? 🤔
Does bog wood reduce ph ? Tia
When the fries start to grow to become Juveniles, they really love grindal worms and those are really good source of protiens.
currently trying to find a female double red agassizii for my male so i can breed them (he has a beautiful blue body with a bright red tail so i know the fry will be gorgeous no matter what), thanks for the info!
edit: spelling
Hope to see the result soon. That would be so cool.
So much effort and time went into making this, bravo mate!
your fish is very beautiful.
👍🏻👍🏻
Great video bro. I learn a lot about breeding from you
I lost my male cacatuoides earlier this year and I haven’t been able to find a replacement for my female.
Great video! Are you still running your old fishroom or did you close it down?
2:40
*nom*
Flowerhorn care info
Angelfish care info?
Please try widow tetra breeding 😁

Where can i buy apistogramma? M from the Philippines, cebu
Is that a betta fish @3:26 ?
Is there a reason why the prices are so high for the apistogrammas?
Is that parasites in the floor of the tank ?
Looks like it’s moving 0:53
Can you use guppy’s instead
🎉😊
What fantastic video's you make, they are very educational and in my book a 'must watch' :) Do you breed and stock Apistogramma Trifasciata ?
Do you sell fish and if you do how do I buy fish of you
Do apisto breed in dark
Super red is a quality grade of apisto, not a variety. At least here in America, maybe its different elsewhere.
It's still a variety, that just means it's one form of apisto you can find not species its just like "theirs multiple variants of apisto"
I think the word you guys are looking for is morph. Saying a super red is a variety could mean species to one person and color morph to another, depending on their fishkeeping knowledge. Morph makes it clear that it's not a distinct species.
Saying a Super red cockatoides, is like a Russian blue guppy, Pigeon blood Discus or a Galaxy Plackat Betta. They're all just a variation of a single wild fish, so all guppies are all the same species but there are loads of colour and form variations. Same with all fish. We tend to breed a bunch of fish to make pretty colours and people that don't know any better, call them different species.
@@simtalkayak what I intended to say is-
Super red refers to the QUALITY of red cacatuoides. It means red coloring has to be on tail, dorsal, and ventral fins.
Saying you have super red babies either means he culled all the babies that don't have that level of color or that he mistakenly thinks that because the parents were super red quality then all the babies are super red quality.
To be fair though super red isn't anything official. I could breed them and call them apistogramma Cac. Breakfast sausage and still be just as valid I guess
darn it
i guess im second
While its good that you are having some success, you really should replace your caves with ones that have MUCH smaller entrances to them. Females only need to just fit inside the entrance, males do not even need to enter for example. Females will feel MUCH more secure and MUCH less stressed out this way because they can easily protect the fry, especially since your using dither fish.
You should also be very careful about using a completely bare tank with just the one cave in it, Apistogramma can get quite aggressive toward each other while wanting to breed and a fish that has no where to go can be result in a dead fish, or one that jumps out of the tank in an attempt to run away.
All of above holds much more true if trying to breed 'rare' apistogramma :)
On a side note - Apistogramma do NOT come from swamps...
Hope you and others find this useful :)
I agree with what you said I am breeding some a.cf Ortegai pebes and they are really aggressive.
Apistogramma come from the Amazon basin and are often collected in small tributary’s and ox bow lakes
Nothing breeds better than a coconut-hut
first comment :D?
13:00 If my memory serves me right, I think it is the opposite. Cooler temp = more females and hotter temp = more males
You are right. I got that odd for my Guppies so maybe it would be similar for Cichlids.
That would make a good video. One batch cooler and one warmer, How much of a difference does water temp give ie 5% or 50%
We bred them as well. The first batches we had the temp at 26 and we only got females, the later batches temp was 23/24 and there we got some males
@@happybubble4863 If the water were 20-21 do you think you would get all males or would it still be a mixture of M/F?
What percent of males did you get at 23/24? 2%, 10%, 30% or 50%
How do you deal with the females being so aggressive
My cacs bred like rabbits
Legit question why not just breed them like you do your rams this just seems like a long drawn out process if your breeding for profit. Spawn remove eggs methylene blue transfer to tray systems then power feed till sellable size in 4-5 months?
9:47 Please don't eat her eggs. D:
Hihger remperatures yields more males. Talking from experience.
Where in ausie are you. And are you single 😍
love apisto.s spend hours watching & interacting wth mine Ace fish and surprized your title says RARE in it Cos I,ve seen often them in fish stores (uk)They have great personilty & a water change seems to trigger them into making babies, when they are in my comunity tank or not lol
my angelfish rased her babies to eat them after 2 weeks
