Pics?!

nice where and how much did ya get them for? im thinking of getting a couple pairs of some wild rams just cant pull the trigger yet

Beautiful! Looking to add a pair of these down the road. Gorgeous fish.

I love my Orange Flash Cacas. I currently have two batches from the same parents. First batch are about 2 months and the second batch are about a month old. I plan on trying to raise and breed more species of Apistos in the future. Congrats on the awesome fishes.

Hi dBlauj,

The first time I saw good looking specimens of A. cacatuoides 'Orange Flash' the color was so brilliant I almost couldn't believe my eyes!

I got them from Aqua Imports in Boulder. They had about eight pairs of cacs, 2 pairs of agassizi and a pair of viejiea(sp?). They had the orange and the red cacs for $44.99 per pair.

I'm working on pics, it always says the file is too larger or shows up as a question mark in a box when i submit. All i have is my phone, no comp or camera lol.

My male doesn't have the spikey dorsal like that, his is tall and even all the way across and a solid bright orange. They're in a 50gallon with 8 lemon tetras and 3 zebra loaches. Need some algae control for this tank now...

beautiful!

Wow, they're so yellow. At what age do they start to turn more red? I was told these were the double red ones he had but there is no mistaking the bright orange.

How many can you keep in a 29g? What's the price on them?

A trio will do well in a 29g

More than one trio can exist, but only if you are experienced with dwarf cichlids.

Is that a Cory in one of the shots? Do you have Corys with mating pairs of A. Cacatuoides? I'd love at least a pair in my 40 breeder but have been hesitant due to the potential aggression of mating Cichlids toward other bottom-dwelling fish.
