Lovely fish....
Not to hijack your thread (please have the mod's delete this if you choose) - my Panduro do not have the large black marking at the tail fin like yours.
You are in France - I am in the US - I'm guessing different breeding patterns have developed the different markings...
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 -...
I have some MacMasteri's that I'd really like to add to a 75 gallon heavily planted tank which also houses 7 Turquoise Rainbows and a group of Broochis Splendens.
The Rainbow activity can be tiring and hard on other species... anyone keeping Apisto's with Rainbow and if so how is/did it go?
Six to seven months ago I purchased a group (6) of Juvenile Panduro's.
Within a few weeks two paired up, the female turned yellow and both she and the male turned against the other Panduro's.
I moved the pair to their own 20 Gallon High.
They spawned a few times, but the eggs never developed...
Thank you for clarifying, I do have a couple of ladies and a couple more males... But I want to get another pair and then let them breed with fish that are not siblings...
Purchased a group of MacMasteri and they have now grown to sexable id.
I would like to breed the fish, but since these are siblings I want to purchase a different pair.
However, before I make a purchase I'd like to confirm the species - these are MacMasteri right (not Red Neck, Veijeta or some...
Locdog: how are you measuring the ph value with dark water?
I use the API test kits which change clear water to different colors - I don't think the liquid kits will work with tea colored water?
This is a species on my list, my very long list of fish I'd like to keep and I do have the opportunity to acquire a group locally from a club brother. I've read they can be nasty aggressive, especially conspecific. Your experiences? Beautiful fish and very beautiful tanks....
I took my water to a local chain shop and they advised my:
KH is 100 PPM
GH is 75 PPM
Purchased an API liquid test kit and performed several tests on my tap water (which is well water):
KH (5 drops to color change) 89.5 PPM
GH (5 drops to color change) 89.5 PPM
My ph is 7.6
Suggestions and...
What approach would you take to lower the ph?
RO Set up?
Is it feasible I could lower the ph by including distilled water during a water change?
I'm doing a 25% water change weekly in the 10 gallon and since I'm on a well - it's straight out of the tap....
Could I add a gallon of...
