    ten gallon...

    Betta channoides... Now that's an idea...

    ten gallon...

    I'm scrapping the idea... Enough of the people who would know are questioning the idea that I'm going to accept their wisdom. Thanks for your input.

    ten gallon...

    What about aggies and rupuninis? Like I said I've never tried aggies and I've got those rupunini and they're not seeming terribly aggressive. I'd like to start with something cheaper than pertensis types...

    ten gallon...

    I know that this could look tacky... but I'm wondering what Apistos anyone out there with lots of experience would recommend for a ten gallon setup. I've got a spare ten, I have great tap water for apistos... I love apistos... I have lots of experience keeping the in bigger tanks... so I want to...

    What's the distinction between A. cac. 'CS' and A. cac. 'Blue Triple Red'?

    Update and Incoming Order

    Any images of the cacatuoides "CS"? Great looking list, very excited to see you're on your way to back up and running. If I can get some of my HRPs sold to free up space(and cash) I'll be putting in an order for some of the A. borellii "Paraguay"--gorgeous and will love living in cooler water...

    Pelvicachromis sp. aff. subocellatus

    I'm going for the one's he's got up right now. I've bought livebearers from him before, he's great.

    Pelvicachromis sp. aff. subocellatus

    I missed this thread earlier. I'm wondering what parameters you bred them in. I've heard they're easier to breed than true subocellatus, but I get conflicting reports about how pH affects they're breeding. I've got a pH that settles around 7.3-7.5, but with with very low hardness and I'm...

    That's what I thought. Thanks for the info!

    Apistogramma luelingi

    Thanks! I've always heard that about borelli and trifasciata as well, but I assumed it was irrelevant for tank strains. After multiple generations of artificial rearing in temperatures controlled by a thermostat, that must diminish to some degree. And besides that, aren't collectors unlikely to...

    Apistogramma luelingi

    I'm thinking about getting some A luelingi. I've heard they need a wintering period. Anybody have any experience with these? Has anybody else heard that about them?

    How do these fish do with plants?

    Any RO unit recommendations?

    Hi all, I'm finally taking the plunge. I have relatively soft well water, TDS around 300 and a somewhat mobile pH. But... I have occasionally performed accidental titrations during water changes and I'm interested in working with some blackwater species, so I'm going in on an RO unit. I don't...

    Combining multiple dwarf cichlids in a planted tank

    Totally. I kept A. steindachneri and A. eunotus together successfully.

    Dirt tanks and apistogramma questions.

    I wouldn't siphon it off unless it's severe. I breed all of my fish in dirt based planted tanks. I don't keep any real serious diggers--but I do keep HRPs, C. myrnae and a few other Cryptoheros in a dirted breeding tank and they don't dig enough to make an issue. You've got to be brave enough...

    Harmful types of wood?

    I've been using red, black and white oak for my whole life. I own woods that I look for good pieces in. I typically find large branches that have fallen or dead branches that are still attached. They lose their bark and begin to be weathered within a couple of years. I When they've fallen I...

    Bump...? Still looking... hoping... holding out some faint whisper of a dream that someone has these and wants to help me out... I never dreamed they'd be so hard to find!
