Panduros are pair apistos not trio or more like apistogramma cacatuoides or agassiziis are. The female will kill the other if you get one

well than... No more girlies.. The cac's killed her too. Is that common? I've read about the harem breeder thing?? Not so much ime..

My tolerated the other but her sons if her in. Just days before I sold them. Some peoples apistogramma cacatuoides don't work like others do.

"her sons did her in?"

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Yep, her male children grow up and killed her. Right before I was going to sell them. Hope they are kept in a bag jk lol

 

[Brookster123]

Holy Norman batestoides!!!! How old/big were they ?

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

1-1.5" mean little suckers though

 

[Brookster123]

Ok good.. I still got a little while, I just have to separate a couple big fry from moms tank and I'll be worry free..

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

They were good looking, probably going to turn out better than my male! Kinda wished I kept them to see

 

[Brookster123]

Ive wondered what/if there is a chance of a different looking strand off my original pair.. Back to the topic at hand though, based on the pics I've presented is there any doubt I have a male and female??

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Look like a pair to me! Sound like a pair too. The behavior you described is definitely what males and females do!

 

[Brookster123]

She's now hiding up behind the hob filter intake??

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Turn off the lights for the night and let her settle in. When I added my female I didn't see her for almost a week

 

[Brookster123]

Update.. Re- did lighting (pitbullys DIY style) had too.. I'm a planted dwarf loving nerd and that's my Friday afternoon!! Female is still cowering under intake pump.. She's eating though so I'm not worried yet:/

 

[Brookster123]

So added another male after figuring out I had confused sex's.. never said I was an exper, trustie at lfs is on my doody list.. surprisingly by adding the new male the other, smaller male has become much more social, they were.origianly from the same tank so I'm thinking they're long lost brothers.. the female is still a feisty little girl but she's not tormenting the Lil guy anymore. I know i can't keep 2 males but it's cool to.finally see a cl balanced peaceful scene.... in a 10 gal apisto panduro tank ahhhahaahahah.. check him out, he's a looker

Would adding another female kick things off again? Because you would have thought that it would be chaos putting another male in, he is a nice fish though

 

[Brookster123]

I'll be moving the small male soon, I was watching them this morning. . It's crazy.. she's still a nut job, darts at the Lil guy and he hides behind big bro, I'm going to let them hang for a Lil while anyways.. it's really cool to watch them together..
