    Recommendations on breeding setup

    dc, they are currently in a 29 gallon tank. I will be moving them to a 38 gallon (36 inch long) tank in the next month or so, once I get it set back up and cycled. The largest female was in full breeding color when I received her, but has since toned down a bit. The other 2 females are still...

    Swimming in spirals???

    You do realize that if you put hydrogen peroxide in your main tank and filter system, you have most likely wiped out all of your nitrification bacteria? Perhaps I misunderstood and this was in a hospital or quarentine tank that is having daily water changes anyway..............

    Recommendations on breeding setup

    I received 4 of Ray's apisto cacatuoides last week. I have his F1's. 1 male, 1 mature female, and 2 young females. They are stunning! His shipping practices are impeccable, and my fish arrived in wonderful condition. The 2 mature ones ate the first evening after arrival and by the next day...

    Optimal feeding of a. cacatuoides and other apistos

    Good evening. I recently purchased some F1 apistogramma cacatuoides. I have one fully mature pair, and 2 younger females in a 29 gallon tank. They had been fed exclusively on frozen blood worms prior to my purchase of them last week. Should I maintain them on this diet exclusively? My other...

    where can I buy Mergus Cichlid Altas I ?

    Try doing a search under used and out of print books at www.addall.com This is a site that searches many online booksellers for the title you are looking for. Many of these dealers will ship overseas. I have found many titles there for clients worldwide. HTH Sally

    A. Borelli stocking question

    Oh, I always quarentine all new aquisitions. I have a fully cycled, but unoccupied 29 gallon awaiting them. I've just been "feeding" the bacteria with ammonia while I await their arrival. Thanks for the input. I am new to the apisto's as I said, but not new to the hobby as a whole. I don't...

    A. Borelli stocking question

    Well, the addiction continues. The a. panduro's I aquired last week are settling in well, and I am quite enjoying them. A friend knew I had been looking for a. borelli's and managed to obtain 8 1/2 inch fry for me last weekend in Atlanta at the club auction. They will arrive here on Thursday...

    A. Panduro setup question

    Thank you so much for your kind reply. The fish are young ones from a breeder not too far from here, according to the LFS. I have a lot of rock work, driftwood, live plants and some caves made from terra cotta pots in there. I will go ahead and give it a try once quarentine is up. These...

    A. Panduro setup question

    anyone have any suggestions on this?

    My 150 community of dwarfs and friends.

    There should not be any interaction of the Ich Gaurd with the Melafix. If you can see visible ich, you should initiate treatment immediately. I would stop the Melafix, as it will not help with the ich, and get the ich treament going now. Removing the cardinal to treat or euthanize will not...

    A. Panduro setup question

    Hi, I am new to posting here, but not new to the world of fishkeeping or aquatic forums. I've had tanks with many types of fish over the past 15 years, but have never tried cichlids of any sort. I have become obsessed with the dwarf cichlids! I've been reading here for several months now and...
