      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi everyone, sorry for the absence things have been crazy around here lately. Was curious if anyone could let me know what is up with my auratus? I have 2 in with my other 2 cichlids and one is turning dark grey. I have been reading online about how the male will change colors, but was wondering if anyone here with real life experience could tell me what to expect? Does this mean I have a male and female that I should move to a seperate tank or will the be ok with the other 2 cichlids I have...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Any Apisto keepers out there? I have done alot of research but I am still pretty nervous about my first run at it. I have a pair of Ap. Cacatuoides in a 10gallon planted tank with 3 caves (2 in driftwood &amp; one pot). I believe that the female is will be ready soon by her yellow color. Anyone have any good pointers for someone trying to breed South American Cichlids for the first time?<br />

The place I bought my first one is no longer in business and to be honest I have only bought stock from my friend Rachel Oleary (MsJinkzd) for several years now.  Since she only deals in inverts and micro fish she is unable to help.  So I turn to everyone here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" />  Any suggestions for where to buy a decent quality flowerhorn that isn&#039;t at aquabid GINORMOUS prices?]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: 18px">First steps, 2 choices:</span><br />
<b>1</b> - Remove the pair that is laying eggs into a separate tank with no other fish. This is your best option but there still is a chance that the parents will eat there own eggs. That all depends on the personality of the individual fish.  They should be placed in a 39/30 gallon or larger (no bigger than a 55 gallon) by themselves with NO other fish.<br />
<b>2</b> - Remove the eggs after they have been laid. You have to keep an eye on what is going on....<br />

<br />
How much water does each fish need? Is it calculated like usual with inches/gallons or..?<br />
How big is the smallest tank to use for these fish? (I know they easily grow to be 13-14 inches big)<br />
Suitable tank mates? Can Oscars be kept in a pair or along with Pearl cichlids for instance?<br />
How about plecos/other catfish?<br />
What kind of...<br />
