    Bitaeniata

    About 5 months ago at the last local fish auction I picked up a bag of 4 Bitaeniata's that were fairly small so I was assuming that I'd have at least one male but now as they are all larger I am sure that I have 4 females. I would like to be able to breed these fish but it's rather difficult...

    Apisto ID help?

    I wouldn't mind finding a pair of Wangenflecken around here. Probably a few people on here who could help you but I know Mike is Apisto master.

    What are my Apisto's doing?

    Yeah I think the mother is fine, I think it may be the father who is sneaking in and eating them one by one. She is so protective of them and he doesn't seem to care at all. Thinking about just removing him next time. On the plus side I have two Winklefleck females guarding eggs!! I really...

    What are my Apisto's doing?

    They're all gone again. I think next time they're coming out. I want to see some little fry and I don't think I will if I keep leaving them in there.

    What are my Apisto's doing?

    So I woke up this morning to find a number of little surprises one of them being a fresh batch of Tefe Pearl Orange eggs (also Cacatuoides Triple Reds and Electric Blue Ram eggs). This is now the second spawn and it looks like there are almost twice as many eggs as the first one. They ended...

    Low pH and beneficial bacteria

    Common sense was kind of telling me that there had to be some bacteria able to grow, otherwise it would seem to be kind of a "sterile" environment in a way. At the same time, I have nitrates in my tank so I know there is some beneficial bacteria in there but I had a couple people tell me that...

    Low pH and beneficial bacteria

    Thats kind of the way I was leaning gerald. I didn't think by dropping the pH below would just kill all bacteria as they've found bacteria/microbes to be growing everywhere on this planet, I figured a different type of bacteria more suited to a lower pH would move in to fill this void. It...
