    Question: one month old fry

    One thing that I was thinking - since I have two community tanks up and running (with other tropical fish) - would it work to move some of those other fish around - once my apisto fry are big enough - so that I have then spread out the apistos between three community tanks - depending on...

    Question: one month old fry

    Hello, I currently have ten apisto fry (one month old). They are in a 15 gallon planted tank by themselves - eating baby brine shrimp, Hikari First Bites, ground up Sustainable Aquatics Hatchery Diet and a couple of the bigger fry are starting to eat my smallest black worms. I have a few...

    Questions: Setting up new 10 gallon

    Yes - I have already discussed with my LFS about the possibility of fry - right now I am in the process of cycling a new 15 long and it will be quite a while before I have the apistos in the tank. I have not really decided on a pair OR one male/two females OR two males. If I get two males - do...

    Question: Open top tanks safe for apistos?

    Trying to figure out what I'll be doing for lighting and would like to do open top - is this safe for apistos and/or is there a recommendation regarding margin (in inches) from top of water to top of tank? Thanks! Wendy

    Update: Instead of 10 gallon, will be setting up 15 long

    Again - thanks so much. It really helps to not "fly by the seat of my pants" when it comes to setting up this tank properly. Wendy

    Update: Instead of 10 gallon, will be setting up 15 long

    After some thought and call to LFS, I've decided to ditch the 10 gallon and set up a 15 long instead. With this in mind - I am hoping a pair or trio of A. Borelli will work out better. Any thoughts? And again - thanks. Wendy

    Questions: Setting up new 10 gallon

    I'm starting to think that i culd squeeze in a 20 gallon high - this would only be 4 inches longer than a 10 gallon - but would offer up a lot more space.

    Questions: Setting up new 10 gallon

    I do have a choice of two other community tanks to use - if the need arises. I'm going to jam up this new ten gallon with plants and several hiding spots - I would love to try a pair. . . . . I have a pair of German Blue Rams in a 20 gallon long that are so much fun to watch - they have had...

    Questions: Setting up new 10 gallon

    Hi Darrel, Thanks for the quick reply and all the good information! Just to clarify what I think you are saying- I could attempt setting up a pair of apisto borellii if the tank is heavily planted (I would love to do a bigger tank but there is simply no more room). I don't like watching...

    Questions: Setting up new 10 gallon

    Hi all, I have a series of questions - looking forward to your answers. 1) How many apistos will work well in a 10 gallon? Do I try for a pair (who may potentially breed) or should I just have a couple of males? Or should I just go with one male and some appropriate dither fish? 2) Best...
