This is great that you are actually trying to breed apistos. They are a great fish. It would be great if there were lots of people keeping apistos. It's a great hobby and very rewarding and calming, especially if people try an aquascape and grow the plants. Thank you.

I have been breeding tropical Fish myself for 45 Years (I'm 51) & I think it's just great how "easy" you breed some Fish Species & you succeed in breeding even Species that are difficult to breed.
My main Focus are Corys, smaller Plecos, Tetras, Livebearers (Halfbeaks, Goodeids, Micropoecilia, Xipho wild Forms).
You obviously have a "blue" Thumb". (In Germany there is a saying: if you are a good Gardener, "you obviously have a green Thumb") Wish you continued maximum success.
Many greets from the Middle of Germany

Very nice specimens 💕 Try to get water from a tank where a pair has just bred. About 3 liters would do. Pour it to that orange flash tank. That water would contain pheromones that will entice the orange flash pair to spawn.

Great video Nick! I enjoyed seeing these when I visited your store, I have never had the pleasure of keeping them my self but they are cool little Cichlids, it's great to see you breeding them for the hobby, you have an awesome setup! 🙂

79°F is the golden temperature for an even sex ratio. If you want more males you wanna go higher temps. Lower temps produce more females. I raised a batch of 60 A. baenschi "Inka" at 74-76°F and ended up with 4 males and 54 females 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome to hear that you also yank the males out when their ladies are on eggs. I always thought I was just being paranoid but this method worked on several different species I've worked with in the past

I like the tip about the endlers keeping their focus on protecting the eggs/fry versus just eating them. I’ve not heard it recommended that way.

I waited for your video for days. I know you would be so busy with the new fish store. Your fish are all gorgeous. Thanks for the useful breeding method.

Temps definitely influence gender in reptile eggs incubation. I have wondered about fish egg incubation, but never heard anyone touch on it, until today. Good luck!

You're doing great Tom from New Jersey USA I wish more people would get involved with fish shrimp clams Guppies goldfish keep your water clean for the fish and more importantly people don't understand how important water is for drinking lots of pollution air pollution soil pollution you're doing a good thing keep every fish happy keep yourself happy stay positive

Thanks for this very informative video. Your fish are beautiful and I am so amazed how easily you get so many of them to breed.

Great video, I'm late to the party but ive got a question? Ive bred an orange flash male with a super red female and dont know what to expect from the fry??

[KingsAquariumsAndAntWorld]

I like watching you vid's during lunch break and it is great to see that you are into Apisto's too. I am basiclly breading 95% Apisto's only - mainly really rare and tricky ones (currently diplotania, kullanderi, D37, sp. Cuira, D51, sp. Ladislao, psammophila). One thing I always recommend: you need to have escape space for females before spawning and males after spawning. I usually use a PVC tube hanging 4-5 cm below the surface - especially if the breading tank is rather empty. Helps to reduce stress and fatalities ... Cheers from Germany.

I’m on the same project I’ve a pair of orange and blues.mostly tanks with just pairs in..and I also use the odd endlers to keep the female observant towards her fry…Im breeding different kinds of kribs also..fascinating to watch there behaviour 👌🏻
