I have a heavily planted 30-gallon tank. Water parameters:
pH: 6.4-7.0 (depending on the CO2 at any given time)
KH: 2-3
GH: 2-3
NitrAtes: 7-13
NitrItes: 0
Ammonia: 0
PO4: 1-2
I am having a terribly difficult time getting the male to be interested in the females. I have two females...
Over the past twelve hours or so, there have been quite a bit of 'showing' or posturing going on :wink: . The apistos have chased the rams around a little bit. I'll keep an eye on them. Both are such beautiful little fish. I believe if I can get them to cohabitate, my planted tank would be...
Can German Blue Rams and Apistogramma Cacatuoides coexist in the same 30 gallon tank? I have a pair of each. The blue rams are juveniles right now.
Thanks for any help anyone can give! :biggrin:

I finally got the fish in (after some serious 'deliveryman' problems). We'll see how they do.
By the way, if you are looking for some Apistogrammas I highly recommend ApistoDave - I cannot tell you how pleased I am with his help in my getting this little fish.
Thanks Dave!
Thanks guys. I don't really care about raising apistos to sell; however, it would just be cool to see the parental behavior in action that I've read so much about.
I have a question that might be somewhat naive, but here goes...
why do most people suggest a bare bottom tank for breeding?
what must I do to breed in a well-planted aquarium?
I would think that breeding should easily be facilitated in an environment that is like the natural one for...
Dimensions for the 30 gallon cube: 20.5 x 18.5 x 21.5
It is not very big at all. It is well planted. The fifty-eight is also a planted tank. I wanted to put the apistos in the 30 because I thought I could get the pH down easier in that tank. My pH in the 58 is about 7-7.2.
I will try to put the fish in a 58 gallon tank, then. I believe I can fit three females and a male in that sized tank: That is, if I have not misunderstood your post. I'll put the other female and male in the 30 cube.
Do you believe this to be a 'safer' arrangement?
Thank you for your...
I plan on buying some triple reds from an auction site on the Net. I wonder: For a 30-gallon cube, can I house three females and one male? Or would this be too many cichlids of this species in that sized tank? Would two females and one male be better? :confused:
The bid is for pairs of...
