    ID please

    My goodness I could be rich. I have two to three active pairs and close to 90% survival of the ones that i syphon. In israel very few people are interested in apistos. I recently sold 8 9 months old fish for 5 nis (a bit more then 1$) each. I have around 20 young, 4 months old and a 2 week...

    melgar?

    Here is a picture of a Papagai active m & fm. Their ID is sure as they are from the same paerents: I wonder if the different pattern (mine vs Noddy65) on the female is a variation or a sign of a different sp?

    Breeding Agassizii

    They look too red to be from nature You should use at least a combination of R/O water.the pH is too hi and probably your water is to hard (too much Ca/Mg prevent efficient fertilization) Peat filtered water do miracles in terms of induce spawning and egg/larvae/parent survival.

    Finally a female showed up

    Hi there Mike, here are two pictures i got from Jan (Dr. Oxmann) of females from the two species (A. sp. Nanay/Melgar and A. sp. Papagei/Parrot). Can you determine the species in each picture?

    Finally a female showed up

    yes, twice First spawn i separated 10 and now I have 6 healthy young ones 2nd time I left them with their mom but the aq. is too crowded and they survived a bit more than a week. Now I think have eggs based on the females color. I'll try to transfer them with the mother.

    Finally a female showed up

    Thanks for the correction. I have to say that the female was completely indistinguishable from the rest of my fish. based on size i have clearly two (out of six) males the "alpha" is most of the time very pale.

    An active pair of Iniridea

    finally an active pair of Iniridea. They are guarding a territory. And the fm has her own half coconut that she gets in & out of. The pH is kind of too high (5.5 70-100µS) so I guess there is a low chance for getting something out of the eggs. The fmale The male

    Question about reported natural black water parameters

    Dont get me wrong. I am not questioning the validity of the info. Rather I am trying to understand how the conductivity remain that low. Now I think that it is possible that as opposed to charged ions (salts), dissolved carbons (from the peat) actually reduce the conductivity values of the...
