Hello from Wirral England

No worries. Quite often the first spawns aren't very successful, but they can be.

She has spawned before but she ate them, she seems to be guarding these ones pretty well so fingers crossed.

Love your tank set up!

I hope you still have the Buddha - a friend of mine had one in her 120 Gallon set up (it was a very large Buddha face) and she swore it opened it's eyes at night! That Face scared the crap out of me, when I walked around in the room I always felt it was watching me - ehhh....

Like you id too, that's funny!

How's you tank going? I'm guessing none of the eggs developed into fry? or if they did... they didn't survive?

Hey, nope buddah has now gone. I'm quite glad it's gone after hearing that they open their eyes haha.

Nope no fri as of yet sadly

Hi my names Marie-Claire, I currently have Apistogramma Agassizii in a 210 litre with 2 Otos, 6 cherry barb, 6 black neon tetra and 1 female endler all are very happy living together I would like to put another pair of dwarf cichlids in and would like your thoughts and opinions on which would be the best? I also want to add a school of dwarf neon rainbows and a school of blue eye fork tails giving the tank that South American vibe thanks xxView attachment 4769

if it were me I would eliminate the endler,the otos,and the barbs; egg thieves all.. I would replace them with more small tetras and three females and another male aggassizi. you will need to set up five breeding sites and two clusters on opposite ends of the tank for the males to declare as territory. You may wind up with five broods simultaneously.

Hi all,

the otos.....egg thieves all.

Otocinclus are fine in tanks with Apistogramma.

I.just do not use fish that stress my brooders. Microcorys provide excellent dithers, do not eat eggs and fry, and work well with most apistos.

Honestly Otocinclus are fine, the Apistogramma treat them just like Dwarf Corydoras.

I like dwarf Cories as well as dithers.

I've kept spawning Corydoras pygmaeus (with Apistogramma cacatuoides) and Corydoras hastatus (with Dicrossus maculatus) <http://www.apistogramma.com/forum/threads/whats-your-favorite-dither-fish.10845/page-2#post-91869>

You can see an Otocinclus on the left hand top leaf of the Echinodorus, in the top photo of the composite image.

cheers Darrel

Well now I have 3 corys 2 clown killifish 4 red striped killifish, pair of guentheri killifish, 2 x pair of GBR and gold ram but my gold ram has paired up with my honey gourami haha. Are black neon tetras ok with eggs?

Most all tetras will eat eggs. Ram eggs are small enough to be on the menu for anything that will take eggs. This includes snails, crayfish, frogs, some types of shrimp, and other culprits that people forget to think about. In addition most tetras will poach fry.
