You might contact jdaquatics; he is in north carolina but might have contacts in that area. jd used to import wilds but these days he mostly deal with domestics.
I know i did fix the start of popeye in my male agasizii (domestic); by moving him from an over populated 29 to a nearly empty 180; that was a year ago (one of the victims during my move of being toss into a 29 while deciding what to do); i purchased him as an adult - i've had him for 18 months...
For reasons i don't fully understand it has been said that if the gut bacteria of a otocinclus (i presume all species) dies it cannot be replaced and the fish will eventually die. My question is: Are there other genus with similar issue. For example there are oto like fishes in the genus...
I found frys really need bbs to make it; i have a group in a 10 gallon that is several generation old at this point (they do stay smaller if raised in a 10 as oppose to a larger aquarium). The aquarium has to be very mature and hte first few days the mother will take the frys around to eat they...
Ok thanks. I'll keep an eye on them and sep if necessary. The aggression is very limited and as long as they stay away from her it seems fine. My krobia are very passive breeder. That is they guard their nest very aggressively but as long as you stay away from the nest all is well (I have 11...
Do you know how large they get and if they form strong pairs; weak pairs or polygamous ?
I have a group of 7 and I thought they were very juvi but one has already spawned and she is only like 1 to 1.25 inch and the male is only marginally larger. I thought adults were 2 to 3 inches. The male is...
My female nijjensi lived around 4 years and she only died because she got abused when i moved which made me really sad.
Having said that i've had more than a few suddenly die after 18 to 30 months due to 'bloat' or whatever - basically not sure. My a. pucallpaensis don't seem to live as long -...
I don't like man made caves (coconut shells and ceramic); i prefer a more natural look with drift wood and rocks. Anyway most of the time when i have a cave the fishes ignore them and use some else - i have one sweet little gal using an empty mystery snail shell.
I do have a few 'legacy'...
My current observation:
At this stage aggression has been relatively minor mostly with brief chase by the male. About a week ago based on the tank layout and fishes 'zone' i added a third female (so 1 male 3 female); the female at this point have not shown much aggression among each other with...
I don't have good pictures yet but here are my current observation after having them for a small bit (6 weeks). I have three - in theory 2 female and 1 male but i suck at confirmation of their sexes. They are around 1 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch so i believe they could be sexually mature. One stays...
