    Damn Ram!

    Well, the big female has her 'poster way out, but seems to be taking a liking to the little male (egg eater). I'm going to do a 25% water change to attempt to get them to spawn. I hope to God the little male does not mate this time around.

    Damn Ram!

    The other female, who is about twice the other rams' size, is showing her oviposter. She has yet to pair up with a male, but I suspect she'll choose the male who is her size, though very skittish. The little male (egg eater) and little female are still defending the leaf which is void of eggs...

    Damn Ram!

    pH is 6.0, hardness is very near 0 (all RO water, filtered over peat with BW extract)

    Damn Ram!

    Okay. So I just acquired 2 pairs of beautiful german blue rams. I put them in a 20g long heavily planted aquarium with 4 (male, of course) Apistogramma sp. "steelblue." The two smalelr rams, each about 1" in length decided to pair up and spawn just 4 days later. (today) So the female's...

    Simple Question on Apisto Aggression

    Alright, I am setting up a 20g long tank with my 2x 65w compact flourescent fixture. I officially hate flourite. Spent over 2 hours washing all the red out of it, and I can only imagine the storm I'll have when I fill the tank, even though it ran clear. You know how it is...

    Alright. Now sure about dithers yet. I'm used to seemingly empty tanks - I breed all sorts of fishes.

    Simple Question on Apisto Aggression

    Well, i went to my LFS and they do not have any 15g tanks in stock. I have special ordered one for Friday,and some plants for Friday, as well. For now, the pair is in the divided 5g, and looks as if they should make it until then. I plan on putting a 24", 2x65w Power Compact Aqualight over a 15g...

    Simple Question on Apisto Aggression

    So... Would they be okay in an undivided 10 for now? Same decor, same filter, same heater, same everything. Even the same light. Just a bigger tank. What do you think? Thanks for assisting me.

    Simple Question on Apisto Aggression

    I could divide the 5 gallon for a few days - how many do you suggest? I am considering purchasing 2x65w aqualight (power compact) and a 15g tank and doing a planted apisto tank. I could have it up but plantless this sunday. I could divide the 5 until then. Sound like a plan?

    Simple Question on Apisto Aggression

    Hello all, I have been waiting to try a few Apistogramma for quite some time now, but a busy schedule has prevented anything of the sort from occuring. Recently, something very out of the ordinary occured: my local fish store received one pair of A. agassizi, and was selling them for $50. The...
