I apologize if this question has been asked before, I wasn't able to find anything that exactly fit what I was trying to do. I'm attempting to change my citations in order to display the page number following the year and a colon. For example, I am using:

\parencite[27-45]{key}

And expecting to get the citation (Dasgupta & Nino, 2009:27-45), but instead get (Dasgupta & Nino, 2009, pp. 27-45).

I have tried using the \cite{} and \citep{} commands with various settings that I found while searching this site but to no avail.

A minimal working example that should demonstrate the problem appears below. I am using babel, csquotes, and biblatex with style=apa, and biber as a backend with the natbib compatibility option.

My .tex with all packages that I am using:

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[english, american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[%
    style=apa,backend=biber,natbib
    ]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{english}{american-apa}
\setlength{\parskip}{1em}
\addbibresource{./ref.bib}

\begin{document}

    \parencite[27-45]{immunological-computation}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

And an example from my .bib file:

@Book{immunological-computation,
    Title                    = {Immunological computation},
    Author                   = {D. Dasgupta and L. F. Nino},
    Publisher                = {CRC Press},
    Year                     = {2009},
    Place                    = {Boca Raton}
}

Any help with this would be appreciated, so thank you in advance.

    Nice first question! Welcome! Note that you can use a filecontents environment before \documentclass to encapsulate a file needed for compilation. See the code in my answer for an example of how to do this. It makes it easy to provide a self-contained example which can be easily copied and pasted into a document. – cfr Aug 23 '15 at 22:38
  • Hi. Thank you very much for your help. I see that it's a duplicate question. Sorry about that. Ok, perfect. I will definitely use that in future. Thanks again all. – K. Downs Aug 24 '15 at 06:19
  • No problem. It is sometimes hard to find duplicates and a duplicate question serves as a pointer which may be useful to others. Sometimes I can't find questions even if I asked or answered them. The search function sucks. – cfr Aug 24 '15 at 12:03
