- In This video I speak about breeding apistogramma macmasteri and apistogramma cacatuiods What you need to do is lower the water level over the course of 2-3 days till your left with 30-40% leave it at
I just added a pair of apistogramma macmasteri to my 50 gallon community tank. Very tempted to set up a breeding tank for them as they seem to be rather fond of each other. Thanks for the info!
u should, check out my 30ga filled with apistogramma macmasteri. it is amazing how well they get along with each other. plus they will be full color which is really pretty. Cheers, thanks for watching, commenting and enjoy.
fyi thanks my apistogrammas have fry now and doing well. I did exactly as you did and bam it worked.
Nice, how you do after.
Wish I had found this video earlier great info thank you
Amazing video you covered all of the avenues of keeping, raising and breeding apistogramma, I have learned a great deal from watching your videos 1deaver. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Eric!
An operating nurse breeding and raising Apistogramma's (in the basement) and putting it on UA-cam just sounds funny, i don't know why. But you're doing 2 great jobs !
Now i checked your channel i found out you got more of these cool video's i really need to subscribe.
Thank u
Good video. Though to avoid pair or trio failure, you can just add some dithers (aka target fish) like poecilia spp., pencilfish, black neons, etc. Small fish that will not threaten the fry
Excellant advice! Thanks for watching.
I tried dithers made no difference in fact the male hated them and always chased them away.so removed them.
@@tinadoyle3803 they're supposed to hate them. Dithers (for breeding) are supposed to avert aggression from the mating partners towards the dither. Though if dithers are distracting too much that can certainly be a problem; I've only seen that issue with smaller aquaria but each fish is different.
Did you find the dithers were adding too much stress to the male and distracting from courtship behaviors?
@Aquatic Mastery yes they took over the tank and now I'm having trouble catching them to remove them to another tank, tetras are so fast 🥴
I just got a few of these fish for my 40 gallon breeder. This has me thinking of breeding sometime in the future... looks fun! Nice job with the video, very informative.
Thank you Rick. I'm down to a single pair (juvenile) and their mother. Hopefully they breed for me in the future.
@@1deaver Sounds good. They are a cool fish. Mine are dark blue!
Well done
Thanks for the informative video! Lots of breeding topics covered. I've got a female who is always black/yellow colored, so it's a little hard to tell if she's got a clutch of eggs. My other females color up just like your female shown. Can't wait to see your 6' tank. I'm thinking of doing some homemade 10 gallon long tanks for a rack I've got in the garage.
That would be sweet!
Thanks for sharing all those breeding informations!
You would not believe how many of your videos i have enjoyed watching, thanks for watching mine too, cheers!
I really like breeding videos! Looks like you have a great program going! I look forward to your progress on growing them out and continuing to breed them!
Thanks for watching ricky
It was very enjoyable!
Thanks for your video !
New sub here...Thanks for sharing. I found it both informative and entertaining. Learned more from watching this video than I have from anything else. Really appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice!
Good that you got a system that works for you. I sorry but your pronunciation has defeated me on the species of apisto. What was it? All I could hear was 'eenverday'. Eenobirdeye??
If I can give advice, try vinager eels instead of micro worms. Almost impossible to crash, easy to gather (you can use a dropper with aquarium water and put a bit under the tip into the vinager). After like 30min or so, it will be filled with the eels. Then just release it inside the tank.
One of the biggest advantages is the fact that they can be alive for days and weeks inside the tank before they die. They will be eaten long before that happen. They also swim all over the place, instead of just sink to the bottom.
And u can adapt it into the oat thing, just like regular micro worms
Fry look great!
Thank you sir.
I just picked up 2 females and 1 male of the Apisto Macmasteri.. They are in a 20 long.. Would you still recommend putting them in a 10??.. Thanks.for the informative video!!..
When do you raise your water level back up?
Thank you for sharing this video!! I ready enjoyed it!! 👍💕
Once the eggs are laid, your good to continue with 20 to 50 percent water changes weekly
To simulate a dry season just let the tds build up a bit then for rainy season hit em with a bucket of rain water or 3 or 5 lol
Nice!😮
I know this is a old video; however perfect for my breeding pair of apistogrammas double reds. I just removed the male who was being pushed to the far corner of the 15 gal.
Ron Griese good hear it, interesting little fish isn't it? cheers
Real cool video.
Thank-you sir!
I just set my breeding tank up for double reds. We shall see how this goes!
did it worked? if it did, was it easy to set up?
These are great man! my new favorite channel
thanks aquaporn, but I must say I love your channel too, awesome variety of apistos for anyone reading these comments and looking for another great apistogramma channel. I highly recommend.
Thanks for the info!
thanks for,watching.
Nice channel!! Subscribed!
thanks
great info thanks for sharing.
Your welcome
Female Apistos are great moms
Great content !!! could I have 2 females and a male in a 24 gallon ?
Definitely, keep an eye on them for aggression towards the extra female. It is possible the male will breed with the other female while one is tending to her eggs. Make sure u have sight barriers between caves
@@1deaver brilliant thanks I think one is a sub dominant male as he chased that one away bit the smaller one he was waving his body at her and was gentle with her but the other he can't tolerate at All thanks for your great advice 👍
@@1deaver ps it's a heavily planted tank with 3 caves in
great video - what the heck do you do with all the raised babies? Your LFS take em in?
Ben Johnson I sold some to fellow fish keepers, but most of them went in my 125ga . Still have a few in that tank, but they are considered old
Hi
My male has been hiding in the pot that I put in there for like 2-3days alrdy while the female swims around the whole tank.
My tank only consists of 1 horn snail and 1male n female pisto.
Any idea why my male is behaving this way??
Pls advise!
Appreciate much😊
what type of apisto?sometimes if a pair aren't into each other forming a true pair then they become territorial towards the other fish. hense the male may be getting picked on by the female. I've had this happen recently with my aggazzii pair they bond, I think they're gonna spawn and only few a later they start a cycle of taking turns hiding. evenly I expect them to work it out. so my suggestions for you would be to try the the following. my first suggestion is a mirror in the tank to ignite the bond .or u can adding obstacles like more hiding spaces, ie caves and decorations/plants that reduce the line of sight. or u can get a breeder box and place the least timid fish in it with a small cave and some java fern. feed the female well where ever she is placed, live foods if you can got them. slowly remove the Java moss as the fish gets more comfortable in the breeding box. even simple the time away from each other can help reignite a bond. good luck and remember to sub and thumbs up. cheers
+1deaver java fern not java moss, darn Samsung auto correct
+1deaver thks for the advise the male hides in the pot that i put in the tank.
The tank is a planted tank.
The male stays in the cave longer than the female.
The female usually swims around the tank while the male is in the pot.
The male only comes out sometimes.
The female doesn't really peak on the male.
There are the orange Colored ones pisto not really knw what kind but it is like double red but is orange.
+Monkey.D.Luffy Mugriwara definitely get a small mirror. either place it in the tank or even outside, as long as they can see it. but inside is best. I'm getting the impression they are not aggressive to each other. also that they are orange flash apistogramma cacatuoides but that's just based on your description and that they r very common. it also be possible u have 2 of the same sex.
+1deaver nope
They are guarantee a male and female
I realize this video is over 3 years old but I have a question about your water. Is it basically comparable to pure RODI water?
David Cliff i would think so, yes. 6.3ph, 0 gh, 0 kh.
My aggrassif just bred and i'm feeding baby brine shrimp. how long before i startt mixing in flakes for them ti eat.
you have a good while yet. 1st off get yourself some microworms way easier than brineshrimps. i start with fakes just as the majority of fry start to look more apisto-like. just a very little, don't allow it to float. do this 10 mins to 30mins before you give your live food. as u notice theyre starting to eat the flakes decrease the live food, till u no longer need it, then just now and as treats or fr he smaller frys.
+1deaver how you culture the microworms. and how often u do water change.
+Derek Lim ill do a video for you, in a bit. its very easy.
+1deaver video done, check it out, let me know how it works out for you and if you have any questions. if your in canada ill send u some for free.
where you at in nfld? where did you get the fish there? im in st johns for the next 2 weeks.
no store in st.john's currently has apisto's . aquarium 101, tropical marine pets, pet culture, pet city are the stores you may like to visit.
best fish :-)
👍
For some reason most of my apistos will not breed I keep soft low ph water. Lots of leaf litter with a few caves
Which apistos?
Also how old are the apistos?
@@1deaver I have macmasteri. They're old enough they laid eggs once but ditched them and never did it again. My bitenifia are also old enough there really big (bigger than the macs) and I recently got some ortegai which I'm not sure if they're ready to breed because they're W/C. I haven't had issues with my triple reds
@@1deaver my macmasteri are breeding now. Apparently 7.6ph 8°GH and 1° KH is what works for them
I wish I had this tap water parameters
how old are your baby fish in this video?
Love your page and videos! Are you still breeding apistos?
Is it OK if u let the water naturally evaporate?
I perfer water changes and filling less and less
i can hardly believe that your tapwater has a GH and KH of zero.... is this true ?
TheBSideDJ yes, its true. I have remineralize the water to keep livebearers.
i wished i had your water :) !!! where do you live ?
TheBSideDJ Newfoundland, Canada.
Hey man,
Nice another nurse into apistos! I am a NICU nurse. Maybe we can chat some time about breeding apistos. I plan on bringing in some of the rare species soon. Check me out on Facebook: Tamed Waters
technically, YOU'RE not "breeding" apistogrammas. the fish are doing the breeding.
Haha, nice one
Ma che cavolo di traduzioni fate?
No comprende
