    Always interesting watching parenting

    Every pair of Apistos I ever had breed the female has always raised the babies, while the male is banished to the other side of the tank hiding. Until now... I have a wild pair of Inkas and they have spawned. My tank is battling some algae so I couldnt see too well into the back where the...

    Easiest way to get rid of algae

    I am dealing with a planted tank for the 1st time really. I am now dealing with a cloudy green tank. I dealt with this in the past in a different tank, and I was never really able to rid myself of it until I just completely emptied it and started over... I have been keeping the lights out...

    Im a proud papa again...

    Its been awhile, but I bought a pair of wild gibbiceps on Mon. My water is alittle cloudy and female wasnt yellow, but I noticed her in serious guard mode, and male hiding in plant all day. So I did a WC and checked under a half broken piece of pot, and sure enough its littered with about...

    Alittle help

    My elizas came in yesterday, and its been 24 hours and they are pretty grey. I can see they have the potential to be nice with alot of blues and reds, however, the grey is overpowering everything. Just wondering if its stress still from shipping, or if its my water etc. Anyone have any...

    Good schoolers for elizas

    I have some elizas coming tomorrow, and I am curious what some of the options are to keep with them. The PH is down in the 5.2-5.5 range (may need to go lower for breeding). Store I am having them shipped from mentioned cardinals or rummy noses. But I was wondering what else might be...

    proper PH lowering

    I have purchased a breeding pair of wild elizas today, for delivery on Wed. My PH is 6.3, but was told to get these little critters to breed, I needed to be in the 4's. So whats the best, safest, and most consistant way to lower and maintain a PH that low Thanks Dave

    Resetting up a tank

    I am resetting up a tank, and have switched to using sand vs gravel. Never used sand before. So my question is, while I am waiting for it to settle should I be running the filter or should i wait for everything to settle and become clear again, and then start the filter again.

    Best substrate for apistos...

    I am moving, so I will be taking down my tank, and would like to switch from the regular gravel I got to something alittle better suited for apistos. Can anyone recommend a particular name and brand to use. Not a planted tank. Thanks

    Help with diagnosis

    Ok, tonight I decided to switch the gravel in my trifasciata tank to a darker gravel. I took most of the orginal gravel out, and then put new rinsed gravel in over what I couldnt get out. The water had debris that seemed to get stirred up from the gravel being disturbed. I did a water change...

    Hello Is there any food out there, that I dont have to hatch myself that is good for apisto fry. And that they will actually eat? I tried feeding my inca fry frozen BBS and they wouldnt eat it and ultimately all starved, while my krib fry ate it and are still growing. I am now on my second...
