I have a 33g long (48x12x12) that is currently in it last few days as a reef tank that I want to convert to a low/med light planted tank. I would love to have some checker board cichlids and a pair or trio of apistos. Is this possible with a tank of these dimensions or should I limit myself to...
I have the opportunity to pick up a 33 gallon long setup with a glass divider in the middle and was thinking of making this 2 separate tanks and housing 2 types of apistos. The tank used to be in a LFS, so it is drilled with 2 bulkheads which I would cap off and the divider separates the tank...
I have a reverse trio of A cf Agassizii Alenquer and was blessed with a brood of free swimming fry on Sunday I'm guessing there are about 50 of these little guys swimming around! I was able to snap a few pics with my cell phone of mom and her kids. There are quite a few laying on the substrate...
I just came back from a 6 week work trip and noticed my big male had a tumor of sorts growing around the base of his pectoral fin and under his dorsal fin.
Anyone have an idea what it could be? It doesn't seem to be affecting him at all as he is still flaring at the female.

Currently I have 2 pairs of A. cf. Agassizii Alenquer that reside in a 10 gallon. By the end of the weekend, they will be receiving an upgrade...an 80 gallon tank! The tank will be a NPT (top soil capped with a mix of PFS/black sand blasting sand) and run with stock lighting initially, 25W...
I am looking for any of the three below, but I might be interested in others as well.
A. trifasciata
A. macmasteri
A. hongsloi II
If you have any for sale in Georgia or would be wiling to ship, please PM or e-mail me at [email protected].

I'm doing my research on adding CO2 to my 10 gallon tank. If I set up a DIY with the tubing put in the filter intake or add a Hagen CO2 setup, how do I adjust the CO2 that is being injected to avoid having a ph crash? My ph is at 6.4 with a kh of 4. Do I just set it up and let it go or do I...
I have a 10 gallon tank that I want to put CF lighting on. I am tossing up between the 2 X 13 watt kit (2.6 w/g) and the 1 x 36 watt kit (3.6 w/g) and dont know which one to get. I have florite covered with pool filter sand for a total of a 3 inch depth, straite RO water, driftwood, and some...
I have 2 batches of fry about 3 weeks apart in age. The youngest ones being about 3 weeks old (they are in a 7 gallon tank with mom) and the older ones, 6 weeks old, are in a 10 gallon bare bottom with a dwarf bristlenose pleco, some plants and driftwood. When could I put the young fry in with...
I’m in the market for a bigger tank and am looking for suggestions. I'm trying to give "cupid" some ideas for Valentines Day! I have the room for a tank that is no longer than 36" (it's going on my wife's dresser in our bedroom so I can’t take up all the room!). It is a solid...
I noticed last night that one of my female's layed some eggs for the first time! I can only see 3 eggs, but I'm sure there are more that I cant see. I'm telling everyone like it was my first born child! I bought some Liquifry and frozen bbs from a LFS and am all ready to go. I do have a few...
When I set my aquarium, I didn't have a strip surge protector, but I did have one of the alternate power center's (the type that hooks up to a computer and has a 2 hour battery built in). So I figured what the heck. It was just sitting around anyway.
Well, I found out how helpful this was...
Can pelvicachromis taeniatus be a good tankmate with cacatuoides? I know the Moliwe comes from west africa, but the water parameters seam to be simular. The tank I am thinking about putting a pair into is planted and houses three cacatuoides (1m/2f), a dwarf bristlenose pleco and some rummy...
I have a 7 gallon bowfront tank with 3 cacatuoides (1m/2f) and would like to add 3 dwarf corydoras and 3 rummy nose tetras. Would that be too many fish for the tank? I have a penguin 125 to handle the bio load. What do you think? Thanks.
Has anybody noticed that when they turn the lights on in the tank that the cacatuoides are almost colorless on thier entire body? Is this comon or is it time to update the perscription for my glasses 8O
I got these cacatuoides, double reds, from my LFS as juvies. I cant tell for sure, but I think this one is a female.
This one I'm almost positive is a male.
Sorry for the fuzzy pics. I'm just getting into taking/posting pictures. For that matter I just got into Cichlids and are...
