Re: Apistogramma cacatoides

As Houston does not have the ideal water for these little beauties very few lfs in area carry them. Typically, Fish Ranch II carries a stock of Apistos including cacatuoides. I'm not sure if Charles has added any to their stock.

Another place that has Apistos is Fish Gallery...though they didnt have any cockatoos as of yesterday..though they do have a few other species. Don is trying to make contact with some suppliers but he hasnt been all that successful to date.

I'd try those 2 first. Hope that helps.

FYI:  mematrix  breeds Ap. cacatoides. He is a user on this site, although he lives closer to Dallas. He has some nice stock.

Re: Apistogramma cacatoides

I think Fish Ranch might have a pair or two left of their double reds but they weren't the best looking from what I remember.

The best of the rest is in Austin..AquaTek (512) 450-0182. They have the most comprehensive stock of Apistos to be found within driving distance. Dont know their stock of cacatuoides though...They specialize in wildcaught and cockatoos typically come from breeders.

I will vouch for Curtis (mematrix). I have a pair of breeding Apisto Pebas and German Rams from him.

Re: Apistogramma cacatoides

and good luck, apistos can be very very touchy, but they are cool if you can get them to do well.
