Steve,

I think Lisa Wrisnik in you neck of the woods had Lobe, she may also have =
Wouri (aka bandewouri fry).  Also one of the fish stores in SF is great =
about ordering all the species (wouri, nigerian reds, etc.)=20

Another source I have seen is The Cichlid Exchange in Portland.

I have had good luck with fish that came from him.

Good Luck
Kathy

Subject: Feeding wild fish and A.panduro (long) -Reply

I have a pair of A.panduro which I just obtained on Sunday.
I do not know whether the fish are wild or not for sure but=20
I suspect they are as they (especially the male) are not=20
keen on my usual main food which is frozen bloodworm.=20
Now at last my question.  Will this fish ever like frozen=20
food or will it hang out for the live food that I may be=20
forced to feed all the time?
________________________________

Ken,

I have had this happen with wild caught apisto's as well.  Usually, I =
start off feeding them whatever their favorite live food is...usually =
brine, daphnia..etc.  Then I gradually wean them off of it and so far we =
have been able to get all of our apistos onto flake and a variety of =
frozen foods besides the live.

>>> George Richter <richter@erols.com> 02/04/98 08:11pm >>>
I just have to throw this in with all the cacatuoides - PH stuff.  I
tossed a bunch of plants from one tank to another and accidentally
dumped three female Cacatuoides in my 100 gallon Tropheus tank.  The
size and amount of rocks in it make retrieving fish from it almost
impossible.  PH - about 9.0 (Seachem Tankganyika buffer).  Now don't
hate me but I figured the little Apistos ( they were only about 5 weeks
old) would die off fast and I just forgot about them (I have lots of
others).  .  I'm
tempted to toss in a male and see what happens.  I probably won't but
the point is that Cacatuoides are verrrry adaptable.




George,

This is the scientist in me, but I would vote for throwing in a male and =
see what happens.=20

What species was this,  this seems  pretty violent for an=20
Apisto.  I have seen females hounding males but the female=20
is usually happy once the male has been driven into a=20
corner.

Ken.

*****************************
I am a bit late on this thread...but while I have spawned lots of apisto's =
in ten gallon tanks most of the time I remove the male.

Now with nijsseni that was essential.  Here the female would spawn =
regularly and within two days the male would be plastered to the corner of =
a twenty long.  One time I was a day late pulling him out and that was the =
end of him.  She anhilated him.  Maybe a 40 would have been better.
