toverbeck95 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I bought a 'pair' of apistogramma cacatuoides from my LFS 2 weeks back. I'm curious if I have a pair or if I have a sneaker male. They coexist pretty well, but the big male can be a bit aggressive when I feed towards the 'girl'. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bachelor tanks can work for Apistos. One tip to get around this that I use is to feed with a turkey baster, make sure the dominant male is good and busy, then feed the other male in a separate part of the tank, out of sightlines from the first one. Oh before I hit submit, those are definitely 2 male cacutouides triple reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
