    Is Apistogramma Borrelli my only choice?

    Is Apistogramma Borrelli my only choice?

    Finding a pair is easy... finding a single? Could be complicated. Would a pair be ok in an 8? I am thinking more 5, but the reality is the tank will be an 8. These guys could use CPDs or Dwarf Emerald Rasboras as a dither fish I would think. Picking it up in an aquascaping contest.

    Is Apistogramma Borrelli my only choice?

    This is the kind of commentary I am looking at. I normally do a pair of just about anything, so its mostly a default. I know I have been recommended a pair of Borrelli here before for a 5. But I would love to hear other options. Would a single A.trifasciata be a good option? Any others? I...

    Help Make a 5 Gallon Stock Options List

    Hey all, So I see lots of people asking about 5 gallon aquariums on many forums (myself included), and have personally been asked may times. So I decided to start compiling a list from people who do nano aquariums. Please note this is not a thread about the ethics of a 5 vs a 10. This is...

    Get a cichlid or no??? Stocking questions and the infamous shrimp questions

    So what would you define as a smaller apisto? Locally available (no shipping): Rams (nearly every variety) A. hongsloi A. cacatuoides All others are shipping. Thoughts?

    Get a cichlid or no??? Stocking questions and the infamous shrimp questions

    Yeah. There have been no additives save Excel and Prime. Nothing else. And two different tanks with similar water, with different substrates. Freaking weird I gather, but maybe the water treatment plant is adding something?
