    Nannostomus mortenthaleri

    I have been thinking about buying 6 of these. They will live in my 60x40x60cm tank with 6 nannostomus eques and a pair of Apistogramma sp. D10. Would my tank be big enough to house these fish or would they need a bigger tank?

    Light temperature?

    Hi all, I hope somebody can help me out. I am thinking about buying a new LED light for my fish tank. I can choose different light temperatures. I am in doubt between 6500K or 5700K. What do you think would represent the best lightning colour for my Apistogramma's? Thanks in advance. Christian

    Constant temperature/ variable temperature

    HI guys, I was thinking about the following idea. As most of us have experienced that when we do a waterchange, we get increased spawning activity of our Apisto's. This could either be because they finally get some decent water, although i am quite sure we all maintain our tanks the best we...
