I haven't been around for a while; sold some of my cichlids and lost a few too, sadly.
I've had my Cupids for over 2 years and nearly lost them all in a major tank disaster while I was away 3 months ago. The 3 survivors (of 8) had a very near-death experience.
However, I've come home from work...
I visited Aqualife Leyland yesterday, and came away with a pair of Dicrossus warzeli.
I've had D.filamentosus from them previously, which have bred for me, so I thought I'd try another similar species.
Incidentally, they also had D.maculatus and had only just sold their last D.foirni, so if...
I have a breeding pair of wild-caught adult Pelvicachromis subocellatus 'Moanda'.
I bought these from Pier Aquatics 6 months ago (Feb 2015) - at that time they had been recently imported from the Congo.
Since then they have produced 3 broods of babies, of which the oldest are now over an inch...
My Dicrossus filamentosus fry are now about 15mm long and nearly as big as their parents were when I bought them.
Mum and dad are now flirting and may be planning to spawn again. So I guess it's time to move the fry on to another tank. What's the best way to catch them? There are only 8 of...
I have had 5 Cupid cichlids for about a year (bought when juvenile); I've recently moved them into a bigger tank (450L) and added another three adult fish today.
I've been trying to find out how to identify their sex. There are some online sources than refer to the blue iridescent bars on...
Today I went to pick up a second-hand empty 4-foot tank, and found that it also came with a free 2-foot tank complete with 3 Otos and this guy! I've put the fish in one of my existing tanks for now and taken a few photos. He's still newly in so may still be a bit stressed.
I've got other dwarf...
I am a member of a more 'general' fishkeeping forum. One of the other members has been observing and reporting some fascinating behaviour in his tank with one male and 3 female borelli with fry.
Basically, in daytime, each female has a group of fry. But at night the male chases all the females...
I would quite like to buy a book about South American Cichlids. I know there's a lot of information online but sometimes it's nice to have a reference book to browse through.
There seems to be a range of books focusing on Apistogrammas, of which the more comprehensive and recent can be very...
Hi,
I'm new to the forum, but I've been keeping fish for about 6 months and I have now set up a Rio Negro blackwater biotope tank. At the moment this is quite small (120 litres / 32 US gallons) but it is really a prototype to try out ideas and water chemistry for a much bigger 8' tank that I am...
Hi!
I'm new to the forum, been keeping tropical fish for about six months and have already fallen victim to multiple tank syndrome. My water here in the North-West of the UK is ideal for for South American fish, with a slightly acidic pH and virtually no hardness at all. I did a fishless cycle...
