    A. agassizii Spawning Behavior

    Is there any chance the “male” posted above could be a female? My confirmed female continues to show spawning behavior towards “him”, leaning to flash her yellow belly…but today I noticed “he” did the same to her once and then swam into a cave.

    A. agassizii Spawning Behavior

    Thank you for the information. If they eventually spawn and there is no success, I can move them to my 15 gallon where the ph is just under 7. Trying to further reduce it.

    A. agassizii Spawning Behavior

    I decided to get my female a male friend last weekend and was excited to see her behavior change last night. They’re in a 75 gallon aquarium. She would repeatedly swim to him and then turn a bit to her side to flash her yellow belly, and then swim back towards her cave. He appears to be too...

    Female Advice Please

    Dang...found the female dead this morning :( No signs of being beaten up either. I have some new magnolia leaves soaking. Once they sink, I’ll try and introduce my other female.

    Thanks for the time and advice. Those pots are only about 2 3/8” tall. Anything else you would suggest putting in there?

    Female Advice Please

    Thanks for the reply Mike. I’ll stick to 2 in that tank. I’m in no hurry for them to spawn, my main concern is just the well being of the female if she’s going to be hiding behind the heater all the time. Water Parameters: pH - 7.0 KH - 40 GH - 30 Ammonia - 0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 0 (I know...

    Female Advice Please

    Hello! I have a male and female A. cacatuoides in a 15 gallon aquarium (24”x12”). The male was introduced 3/27/2021. The only other tank inhabitants are a few Otocinclus cats. Temp is about 79 and ph about 7.0. I have not seen the female in quite some time so I took the tank apart during...

    Female Agassizii?

    Can anyone sex this one for me? I’ve had it for just over a year now and always thought it was a female, but never confirmed.

    Water too dark?

    I appreciate the offer. Maybe I’ll take you up on it, but leaning towards giving that pennywort a shot.

    Beautiful tank!

    Water too dark?

    Thank you. Just anubias, can’t find floaters I like anywhere. Although I did find some nice looking pennywort in the grocery store aquarium section, but I don’t feel good about buying plants from there ;)

    Water too dark?

    Is there such a thing as too much tannins, or too dark of water? It gets better after I do a water change, but it gets pretty dark each week. I’m fine with it if the fish are ok. I did boil the wood ahead of time too.

    What are these?!?

    Thanks! Sounds like a 2 for 1 special to help get rid of those pesky snails ;)
