I went back and found your original thread and checked out those photos and I must say they did seem a little confusing... Probably for the very reasons the pic of your new fish is inconclusive - young fish, not fully coloured up in a new environment...
In my experience once a female bolivian...
Hey All,
About 6 weeks ago I purchased my first Blue Rams. I bought a young trio (1m :2f) with the hope that I would eventually get a pair (which I still may).
What I've noticed is that these guys are far more shy than my Bolivians ever were... Is this typical behaviour?:confused:
I...
It depends if you plan on breeding and raising fry... If you want to let the parents raise the fry in that tank it may be better to avoid tetras as they can/will eat whatever they can - and they can be good hunters!
If you don't care if you lose fry, or plan to siphon out the fry to a...
I am currently undecided if the bio-tope is going to contain female apistos... I figure a pair of Blue Rams may add enough drama to the tank... Ultimately I guess it will come down to how big a tank I can get - bigger tank means females may be added, smaller tank = males only...
The nice...
I'm new to Apisto's but I find with other cichlids that conspecific aggression is usually higher than aggression to different species... Mike Wise is correct - different fish with similar body shapes would like wise be subject to higher aggression - for example a Festivum would likely be more...
hey starforsaken - I'm planning an Otinoco bio-tope in the near future and D. filamentosus is one of the fish I have come across in my research...
Now depending on how picky you are you may want to try a very specifc region or type - such as Orinoco blackwater, or Orinoco clearwater etc...
I've done some more reading and it looks like A. macmasteri comes from the Gauviare - which forms part of the upper Orinoco catchment (according to my map!)...
I would do it... I have no experience with Apisto's yet, but I have kept lots of other cichlids and I would say that it should work... I don't reccommend using store bought guppies as feeders as they could introduce disease - but if you've had these guys for awhile they should be healthy and...
Hello,
I am in the planning stages of an Orinoco bio-tope type aquarium... I am looking for info on which Apisto's come from this river or it's tributaries?
So far my reading as turned up 3 possible candidates;
A. hongsloi
A. hoignei
A. viejita
Are there any others? I figured I...
I have found that siphoning fry is an easy and effective method to move them! There is a good chance that mom will stick around and attack the siphon tube so if you have second set of hands helping you out they could probably net her quite easily!
As DH247 has already said - you will have...
Hi There,
I just found this site the other day (I've been lurking) and I thought my first post should be an introduction!
My name is Daryl and I am from Victoria, BC, Canada. Next month I am moving to the big city - Vancouver! I am really excited to make the move as their are a number of...
