RE: Available spawning pairs?



If you really want "spawning pairs"  you should go ahead and just purchase a
half dozen youngsters of sexable size from one of the more reputable
breeders around. I have heard good things about several. 
(All feel free to correct me) Most apistos once they are of sexable age will
start breeding. some can be surpassingly young (pers obsv). as far as pair
formation, depending on species, it isn't as important as conditioning and
environment i.e. give them the right water conditions, tank decor,
tankmates, feed well and watch closely it's a wonderful sight. Unlike many
of your larger more aggressive cichlids you'll find that Pairing is much
less important and even less desirable given that most dwarf cichlids don't
have a long life span. Any "spawning pairs" that you find will probably be
near the end of their life. so in my humble opinion it would be much more
productive/interesting/faster/easier to roll your own.
