    New Apisto Setup

    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...

    Need your input please!

    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...

    Tumor on Apisto

    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. Tank...

    CO2 an PH Crashes

    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...

    New Tank

    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...

    My First Cacatuoides Eggs!!

    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...

    Battery Backup

    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...

    Pelvicachromis Taeniatus - Moliwe

    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...

    Overstocked?

    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.

    Sexing Cacatuiods

    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...
