    Hello... From Holland

    Hi Rene, or borrow them to me for a few month until they produced a nest which I raise and we share the young ones. I have more then enough tanks ready ;) It would be a shame not to use the potential of such a pair in a breeding project. Assuming that it is a real pair and the eggs where...

    Tetra ID

    They are indeed H. filamentosus and the one on the pic is a clear male ... currently they available. I got myself some too, all fish which where available. Unfortunately they turned out to be 7,1 :( ... will try to breed them soon.

    Apisto Wilhelmi

    Anyway I find this species the most difficult Apisto to sex. When I got my four I could select them out of a group myself. Never been so unsure getting fish. If the males fins are not fully pointed yet, the dark through not developed (or does not show in a holding tank) it is really hard. I...

    Apistogramma Oregon y glaser

    That not only depends on the sex of the other fish (males are competition for food, space and reproduction and will be chased by the dominant male) but also if the potential females are in the right condition (age and feeding) to have eggs developed. All females which are not ready for...

    1.60m South American biotope

    Thanks for the feedback Gert! The Hypoptopoma breeding is interesting. I believe I have the same an thought they where Hypoptopoma inexpectatus. I also have 4 Poecilocharax weitzmani - at least I hope it is still 4. They are in one of my small tanks with T. candidii and as you know hard to...

    Freezing Tubifex

    Mike, NHBS are more economical .... hmmm ... does that not highly depend on the quality of eggs you are buying ? I mean if you want to have good quality with high rates of fatty acids, excellent hatching rate etc and stick to the know brands this is absolutely not cheap. Of course if we take...

    1.60m South American biotope

    Gert, (greets from across the border) what is your point on the topic Awaous flavus needs salt addition ? Looks interesting setup. I'm setting up my next tank just now. I will also add the red backs and will move my Biotoecus as sand fish, but the gobies would be an option too. I have surface...

    Advantages if dwarf cichlid pairs?

    THAT sounds way more reasonable to me and I would second that proposal. A 140 Liter tank is small and should not be overstocked. Additionally it depends a lot on the structure as Mike already mentioned. I don't know that Pleco (I am a scientific name kind of guy) but all real Plecos get...

    sexing apistogramma iniridae

    Although the fins are not fully open and it is not that easy to tell, I would say both pictures show a male.

    Vincent, you acquired them recently ? Maybe @ Jim's place ? Then we might know each other :D My 1,2 also spawned 3x with zero results. I knocking PH down to 5 now. Awaiting the next spawn.

    A German in Belgium ...

    Hi @ all, hitting the 50 soon, I have had 40 years of fish keeping which I had never stopped ;) Did all kinds of fish of fish except Discuss. The last 10 years I spent breeding marine fish. I converted most of my tanks back to fresh water now. One rack with 12 tanks contains currently A...
