Hello dear community,
I set up an 120 with 70 cardinal tetras, 50 nematobrycon palmeri, 15 hasemania nana, and 11 apistogramma agassizii, of which 5 are "wild" type, 5 are " fire red" and 1 is "Double red". My 1st question is if the different color types can breed. I know I wont have much of a...
Hello dear community,
I have a 150x40x60 cm tank and was wondering if the aforementioned combo (cr. Regani w apisto) is viable. The apistos I can find are cacatuoides, agassizii, mb some macmasteri. Has anyone had any experience with this? What would you recommend for cr regani tankmates...
Thanks a lot sir.
I'm definitely not going to plant that heavily, let alone the fact this is not a "heavily" planted tank. I use different kinds of wood in all of my tanks, and of course some rocks. Thank you all for your input, I ll take some time planning my next tank.
Hello both and thanks for the replies
The tank in the picture looks awesome, but I m not planning on such a heavily planted tank, along with the maintenance. I love plants, I have on all of my 4 tanks but I like to watch them grow slowly.
As far as the colony is concerned, this the first time...
Hello sirs and thank you both for your time. Yes I m pretty sure the dense planting will surely be helpful for such a crowded tank I m planning. From what I understand you have a single male of cacatuoides and nannacara right?
If I begin though with 2 species (pairs trios or w/e), and they do...
Hello sir and thanks for the reply. Yes I know bottom dwellers will get ran down, my spawning kribs are chasing the corys like crazy. But what if i get only males so there's no chance of breeding? Will they still need a 60 cm territory? I think i ve read here somewhere about males only tanks...
Hello dear community,
I have a 150x40x60 cm tank (100 gallons) and I want to add 3 or 4 apisto types (agassizii, cacatuoides, macmasteri or whatever else is available, definitely though agassizii and cacatuoides), bolivian rams and nannacara along with 2 types of tetras (50 or more each...
Hello sir and thanks for the reply.
The apisto will probably be 2 to 3 inches and the ghost will be purchased at the same length, probably bigger than an agassizii but smaller than an adult cacatuoides. Yes I m getting bad vibes about the bgk and apisto coexistence, but I thought it's better...
Hello dear community,
Im setting a 60''x20"x24" tank. I m thinking of adding 1 male cacatuoides, 1 male agassizii, maybe a bolivian ram along with some melanotaenias and a black ghost knifefish, as a centerpiece. Do you think the dwarf cichlids will grow to be a pricey snack? Has anyone set up...
Hello all and thanks for the replies.
I use ro water so I don't know how much of the alleged chloramine can get through it (ro water tds=6). I do believe it's ammonium as well, partially due to my low ph (6,0 or so) Anyway I switched from prime to stress coat. So far no fry or boraras have...
Thanks for your time sir.
I ll try to run the aeration during the night as well. The link to my ammonia reading doesn't open, probably it's a temporary problem. The prime is misleading my ammonia readings? Or does it actually add ammonia? Should I stop (over)dosing it? I got another...
Regarding the floating plants, right now there's none available. My echinodorus though have sprouted runners which are on the surface of the water (a bit lower or higher). By floating plants you mean certain types of plants that have the desired attributes , or any random plant that's thriving...
Thanks for your reply sir.
Yes I guess with that much ammonia no fry would survive for such a long time, let alone thrive. As I checked today the ph reading I get is 6 or less from the API tests. The tds is around 200. The filter I have is inbuilt to the tank, and has one end for aeration...
Hello dear community,
I have a 10 gallon growout tank that currently houses 13 boraras naevus and 15-20 kribensis fry. It's been running for about 45 days, more or less, and has some java moss, wood and echinodorus. I use ro water and the ph was less than 6 (I have a catappa leaf inside). I...
