Sounds like good advise, I'll add 3 cardinal tetras from my other tank, as they don't seem to be the most adept predators I've ever had. I'll try to post pics, but I doubt they'll be good, as the driftwood I use is still very fresh and leaks tannins into the water.
I'll try taking some...
Thank you very much Randall. I remember reading your comments somewhere before about mixing it and squirting it into a group with a turkey baster, which I will be sure to get for that very reason.
You're right, he does seem to look after the eggs, just not with the same intensiveness as the...
Anywho, just thought I'd let you guys know for those who have been following my posts, my wild P. sacrimontis spawned either yesterday or today, I'm not sure when as I've been at the beach.
The male earlier in the week started excavating a gravel pit underneath a knot in the wood in the tank...
I know this forum is more for dwarf cichlids than communities, but since the focus is around dwarfs, I thought it might be acceptable. I'm planning a 38G tank for my dorm room instead of the 55G I had originally considered awhile ago due to transportation contraints.
I already have two P...
Update:
My fish have settled in and finally colored up, and everyone was indeed right that my fish are P. sacrimontis. Thank you all very much. The larger is typically lighter, but will darken when food is present, or it decides that the Synodontis nigriventris sharing his tank are too...
*sigh* I wrote left but meant right. I used that technique to sex the kribs when I went to pick them out at the LFS, my mind just took a break. Alright, if thats the main difference, than I definately have P. sacrimontis, as they definately show blue irridescent coloration 24/7. I'm resigned...
Ok, assuming the one to to left in the picture you refered me to Randall is the female, I think thats the female I have. It also lacks the red on the face seen in the picture, which is only concentrated on her belly and pelvic fin. Her white and black striping on her side and face aren't...
Well, I've been snapping pictures all week, and these are the best I've got, which isn't saying much. If possible, would you mind taking a look and seeing if you can confirm if they are indeed P. pulcher "red" and that the male (larger, less red) is indeed a male. I tried linking to individual...
ok, sounds like a great idea. i got freeze dried daphia and bloodworms to feed as well as flakes. I also have several anubias barterii in there as well, plus I'm looking into getting some killies as dithers. Thanks for all your help so far. I tried taking some pictures today but I only can...
Thanks. I don't know about eating well, as right now I'm only feeding a staple flake to make sure they take to it, as I'm alittle nervous abouth them being wild caught. They do seem to be eating that when its within reaching distance of their cave however.

Hey all,
Haven't posted in abit, but have been lurking for awhile. Two days ago I bought a wild pair of P. pulcher "red". The fish are understandably alittle scared, and their colors have paled. As I have read that wild W. African dwarf captures can contain multiple species, I was interested...
Thats awesome. I've looked into Margarita Tours before out of curiosity as collecting your own fish seems like like a really awesome adventure. If you are looking for advice on what to bring or the like, a bunch of people have posted journals of their trips online. Here's a couple of I've...
