My last wife hated fish and me in the fishroom with the fish always complaining. SO she told me either the fish go or she will. I told her the fish were here before her and will be long after. Well she found a boy (18 years younger) at work who understands her and I left with the fish. One...
A few days ago I noticed my male Bolivian Ram with half of his face jet black! It is only on the left side from the mouth to the first lateral line. Looks like he put on a 1/2 of a mask. It seems to not be affecting him in any way because he is chasing the non-breeding female around away from...
What type of sand can you use as substrate in apisto tanks? Can it be play sand from Home Depot or will that clump up? I just won a Pair of Red Cacatuoides, Breeding pair of cruzi's, and a male Viejita II at NJAS auction yesterday, to add to my pair of nijsseni's. I will probably add the...
Well I guess all this talk about Bolivian Rams got to my trio. They spawned on Monday evening! When I got home from work I got to watch them do the final 2 passes of eggs. However, the male must have been shooting blanks. After 2 days all had turned white! I thought I was going to get a few...
I am rearranging my fish room and will be breeding Apisto's. I will
have 20 tanks just for apisto's and I need to soften my water and
bring the ph down. I have never used a R/O unit nor know too much

What is the...

If you check out this link http://www.petsforum.com/cichlidroom/articles/a031.html to the CichlidRoom Companion there is an article by Lee Newman on them. He doesn't mention how to sex them, however he has some great pics of them! My male looks exactly like the one in the first picture with...
My male is darker in coloring sort of blueish tint to him. His fins are pointier & longer than the other 2 & the females tubes are fatter and rounder than his. That is the easiest way to tell! Catch them in a net and turn them over.
I have almost the same problem with mine! I saw them in a fish store with eggs on the bottom of the glass when they were just under 2 inches. I have had them for 6 months since then, with no spawns! I even picked up another female hoping to spark something but nothing happened. They are all...
