Dixon1990 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Cockatoos are a apisto :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 lol what dixon said Appistogramma is the family name and cockatoo's are one type of appisto.. They can be kept with all sorts best you list the tank size you have and what your planning to keep them with.. Are they delicate? Yes they can be more so the recent imports, some of us on here were lucky enough to get some really good ones off a local breeder that were crossed back to wild and they have prooved very hardy I had some fry survive for 2 weeks in an unheated tank with no food because I thought they had all been eaten..

mumzy50 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Did not put full title sorry is that more helpful Apistogramma eunotus . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumzy50 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Im only thinking about getting them,depending on if i can provide them with the right requirements.Tank is L70cm W30 H38 That is why im asking about them rather than just getting them and then asking.

ryanjury Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Personally I would say unless your divide your tank its not big enough for a pair of each... Maybe fully planted it might work, I am unfamilair with eunotus's temperment but if you got one agro fish or a pair bred it is likely the other pair would be injured or at least bullied into submission all day..

mumzy50 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 If i got them it would have to be just one pair as i would like them to have space.Are they aggressive to other fish.I have been admiring these fish for a while they are cute.

rollergirl Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 They shouldn't be agressive to other fish altough might get stroppy at breeding time. Another thing to watch for is that they can be quite slow at getting food in a community tank so sinking food of some kind is best I agree that they are a very cute fish!

new zealand discus man Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi I imported both 2 years ago and im breeding both..Mine are strickly from wild parents and extremely tough..Rearly loose any at any size... Young unsexed are on trade me at present..Cockatoo's Also still a few pairs..My most successful is several types in same tank and when see fry i move all out and leave fry behind.. You can tell whos who by parents guarding them..Found regardless of tank size the male will hunt them down if he's in the mood again...Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
