    Chlorine problem

    I think they use a little chlorine. But my test may be wrong. I use the JBL Pro Scan. The intetion was to measure kh og Gh. My fish seem fine, they are not acting any different than usual. So yeah, my test may be wrong.

    Chlorine problem

    Hi guys. When I tested the water in my tank today I got positive results for chlorine, about 1,5 mg/l. I always let the water rest before waterchanges, and there was no chlorine in the water I use for the changes. I don't have any dechlorinators atm, what to do? I also tested my tapwater which...

    Amano shrimp

    Thanks everyone! I can try to raise the kh a little. I have some Potassium Bicarbonate, does anyone know if I can just add a small amount directly to the tank? Or should I dissolve it first?

    Amano shrimp

    Hi guys. I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I could use some help from someone who knows a little about amano shrimp. I bought 5 of them some time ago, and they don't seem to eat any algea, they only nibble at one of the roots. Also, I only see 1, max 2 of them daily. Are they...

    Itching A.Borellii

    It's not white spot. He is just itching. But I think he is fine.

    Itching A.Borellii

    I moved the old pump/filter and the plants over to the new one. The filter has been on the whole time, so I can't imagine that the bacteria have died. The substrate was really smelly due to a little crisis during the holiday with an automatic feeder which overfed the fish.. So that I replaced.

    Itching A.Borellii

    I just got a new tank as the one I had was leaking, so it's hard to believe that poor water quality - correct me if I'm wrong. I will watch him and see if anything else happens.

    Itching A.Borellii

    Hi guys. Today I noticed my male Borellii seemed to have an itch. He was rubbing against some plants and his dorsal fin was kind of vibrating. Might this be a disease? I can't see anything that's stuck to him.

    Male or female A. Borellii

    Hi guys! I wondered if someone can tell if this is a male or a female? The male I already have has started chasing this little one around the tank. At first I thought it was a female, but now I'm starting to wonder if it might be a male. I hope these pictures are good enough.

    Dark spots on A. Borellii

    Hi guys. Today I noticed my male A.Borellii has gotten some dark spots on his body and fins. Is it normal or is it a disease? He doesn't seem to be sick though, he eats and acts like he always does.

    Missing ember tetra

    Okay, yeah that's probably what happened. I saw one who kept hiding away when I think about it. Thanks.

    Missing ember tetra

    Hi guys! I seem to have lost one of my ember tetras. I have looked everywhere. In the filter, in the caves, between the plants.. I just have ember tetras and one a. borellii in the tank atm. Anyone who knows what might have happened to it? None of the two species seem to be agressive in any...

    Apistogramma Agassizii

    I have added 10 ember tetras to the tank. I will probably just add one female as the Borellii is a polygamous species and doesn't form couples. I guess it will be just fine. Also, it's not very important for me that they spawn, as long as they are doing fine.

    I live in Norway, so I guess it's s bit far to ship.

    Apistogramma Agassizii

    Thank you. My LFS get all apistos when they are 3-4 cm, so I guess it is common. So I guess I just have to wait a little after they get them in the store before I buy them. But I agree with you. I have no chance to take more than two, so the next one has to be female. I saw another store has...

    Apistogramma Agassizii

    It's going well. They haven't got my order in the store yet, so he is still alone. He seems to thrive, though I think he would like some company. I took some pictures of him today. Still a little shy for the camera, I see his black stripe appear when I get close.

    Apistogramma Agassizii

    It went well. As expected. Yesterday I went to my LFS to get some inhabitants to my tank. I ended up with one male A.Borellii. They had just males left, so I asked if they could order some more for me. They were also out of the ember tetras, so my guy is alone at the moment. But (hopefully)...

    Apistogramma Agassizii

    Well, I went ahead and changed 30 litres of water. No additives in the new water. Then I will see what happens over the next couple of days.

    Apistogramma Agassizii

    Good to hear that I'm atleast doing something right. pH is now down to 7,0 and the water is turning more and more dark yellow/brown. I guess it is a combination of the roots, oak extract and catappa-leaves which I just added. I'm just wondering. Would it be better if I just made a huge...
