edmondsng Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hi all, Where can we get hold of Apistogramma cacatuoides? I heard that there are quite peaceful and easy to keep. Any suggestion would be very much appreciated. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderstorm Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 uummm peaceful? I have found that cacatuoides will relentlessly hunt other fish in the tank, forcing the dithers to escape by any means necessary. I lost a couple of tetras and a SAE through the cutout around the heater. The only fish able to withstand the abuse was the Dwarf Butterfly Pleco still in that tank. From this site http://www.thecichlidgallery.com/article_cacatuoides.htm I dont know much about this fish either but the first site i went to look it up says otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 In my experience with them, I've found them ok, until you have the problem of them mating and producing spawn and babies. Then they do go ballistic. Sometimes the female will kill the male, as she is the first protecter of the offspring. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
