You're welcome Shane, they've started putting on some colours in the tail, they're eating frozen brine quite wll but it seems the pellets are too big for them, it seems I'll have to grind them a bit...
And not all is good news unfortunately, it was quite a rare sight to see cacatuoides in the...
Okay so here we go, these are the fish I've got:
Supposedly Pair of A. cf. sp. Abacaxis
Supposedly Pair of C. regani
1 L270
2 Platydoras costatus
4 Hyphessobrycon eques
1 Geophagus sp. Redhead Tapajos
Supposedly Pair of A. cacatuoides, I believe they were being called Gold
Now some pictures...
So, I'll be taking pics and possibly a video now, might take a bit to upload them to a image host and youtube, but when they do upload I'll be sure to send them here;
Thanks for the clue, I've known about our killies ever since a while, and there are reasons for them being here, droughts and...
LOL
Now, updating a little bit, I've got the fish home alredy, it got here well earlier than it was supposed to,so i went to my LFS pick it up, and got some nice surprises with fish they had there and got some of course, I am a bit disappointed with the coloration of the supposedly A. sp...
You definitely wouldn't regret it Shane, had some myself some months ago, about 8 which I got at 5cm, but when they were around 8cm I lost them all due to a mysterious poisoning, since then I've kept my hands off geophagus of any kind, might try some again for this tank though;
They are really...
For the 250 litres the plan is basically:
(Sizes are maximum size they might get here, they are all still small)
6 P. leopoldi 10cm 1.50 U$D each
2 Crenichla regani 12cm 3 U$D each
3 Aequidens diadema 12cm donated
1 Ctenolucius hujeta 16cm 15 U$D
1 L270 10cm 25 U$D
2 Platydoras costatus 15cm 3...
Unfortunately not yet... I mean, a few small catfish in local creeks but... that doesn't amount to much really, even though I live 2.4 thousand kilometers from manaus... I'll probably go in the next three years, it is not a whole lot expensive to do so, but really, I hadn't time nor interest...
Haha, we all have gone through that sometime Shane, I for one still feel bitter about not getting some hystrix rays some two years ago at about 15 U$D each, but oh well, that would've been a desaster for my small fish tanks... maybe I should get a small swimming pool or pond in the backyard...
Thanks for the answer, in the end I got one A. sp. Abacaxis (Thanks for the info Mike, little detail about this name, Abacaxi means pineapple in portuguese, likely for the yellow color), two C. regani and got some credit, will likely get a trio of Agassizi and a pleco with it;
About the water...
I'm sorry, I was very sleepy, I guess ai didn't make much sense;
Knowing my water won't be too controlled, just somewhat acidic and somewhat soft, likely not too much, which Apistogramma pairs would you reccomend ?
I ask this mainly for having had read a bit about the elizabethae needing a pH...
So I ended up writing a lot, decided to make a TLDR, I am to use tap water mildly hard and of pH around 7.4-7.6 conditioned with almond leaves to house my apistos, I can choose two pairs, my options are A. elizabethae, A. wilhelmi and A. gephyra, all young and wild caught, the original plan was...
