My trio of black chin arrived Tuesday, beating the big storms out of the mid-west. They settled in nicely and Thursday they started sucking up BBS. They hang out together in one corner of the aquarium, so I guess the females ae too young to hate each other.
I found out pretty quickly that...
I plan on visiting a stream near my house this weekend where I saw a few interesting pieces of wood. They are currently submerged.
If they are not rotten, is there a risk in using wood that is saturated with "natural" water? Do I need to let it dry out and then soak in chlorine+water...
While I have been getting my planted 30g ready for an apisto trio, I learned that a buddy of mine is selling his 90 (pretty sure it is 48"x18"24"). The post is shown below. He told me that he would sell to me for $275.
I have no experience on how much a tank this size would cost. Is this a...
Maybe a silly question, but when you have leaves on the bottom of the tank, how do you make sure to clean the sunstate? Or don't you have to worry about it? I have a planted tank but wanted to add some oak leaves for the tannins and looks. I have access to willow oak leaves, long and narrow...
This is what I see:

Very nice. I'm in for the trio of black chin. Let me know the details for payment and shipping. I need to get some gear to hatch bbs so I have some chow when the arrive.
Crap, i missed your comment on the black chins. I really like the pictures of them that i have seen on other sites. A quick question, I really want these critters to be as happy as possible. You made a comment:
"I keep the Apistos I have for sale in 7.6pH and 300ppm water and they do just...
I've been so hung up on your wild offerings that I discarded the notion of your tank raised trio. Do you have a picture of your a. panduro. They may be a better match for my novice experience and tap water tank.
Great pictures! The colors appear to be light blue and green, very subdued. Is that the "normal" color for the Apistogramma cf. alacrina? Do the change as they become aclimated to their new environment and have less stress?
I am drawn to blues and reds and am leaning towards a trio of...
Can you post pictures of the 3 species you mention (A. alacrina, sp. Melgar and the "cruzi" Peru). What does this comment mean: the "cruzi" Peru (which aren't true cruzi).
What would be the trio pricing for each (i don't think I have floor space for more than a trio in my 30 g)? From your...
OK. Two questions: Are any of the others that might be suitable for my tank female heavy? If I got a pair now, could I add another female later (your next shipment?)?
animalmgc,
I really don't have any knowledge about how to grow or feed BBS. I understand regular brine shrimp that you can buy at the LFS.
From the pictures you have a plastic tub with insulation board and reflective material. There is a heater. How do you control the temperature...
OK, let me know when you get your count done. I am not currently raising brine shrimp, don't have the equipment or the knowledge. I guess I can by live black worms. I am currently feeding my tank flakes and cichlid pellets. I know I can buy live/frozen brine shrimp at my LFS. Am I fooling...
$26 covers shipping (next day? 2 day?)? Cost for the trio (is that the $25 to $35 you mentioned earlier)?
How hard is it to get your wilds to eat? I have heard it can be a challenge?
