They´re pretty big now! Eating white worms and adult brine s with no problem ... but main course is bbs
I´ve set up a 50 liter plastic container with an internal filter and heater for the last 10 days. Put a 6-8 months cacatuoides female there .... just to make sure a fish can live there...
20 days later and they´re pretty big!
I just counted 7 at the same time.
I was counting only 6 for the last 10 days.
THey´re eating newborn artemia every morning and microworm at night.
Ate enquitrea (i think u call whiteworn) once. The whiteworm are quite big for them.
The female...
I was able to count at least 8 right now.
the best 2 photos I was able to took this morning.
The male is already in another tank. He is rather young - around 6 months. She is around 1 yr and is with me since july. Both are 1st generation born in a tank. But they came from different...
I almost ruined a bitaeniata sucessful spawn. At least 7 fry must be in the 4th day swinmming right now.
They begun to swin while I was traveling. Before leaving, I tought I just lost another spawn, as the female stopped guarding the wood so tightly.
But as I was away, my wife gave me the...
I was looking for the books above when I found the book "South American Dwarf Cichlids: New A-numbers, Habitat, Care and Reproduction", by Rainer Stawikowski and Ingo Koslowski.
I assume this is a different book from ""Die Buntbarsche Amerikas Band 2: Apistogramma & Co", but the author is...
ooppss .... I tought it mean it. The eggs my cacatuoides females laid before were all salmon or dark pink.
It was the 1st batch from her generation. She ate it right away. I still has 11 females in this 70l tank and a single male. I was able to sell 21 males already, but the 2 only females I...
This cacatuoides female is 7 months old. She is the 1st of her 10 sisters to lay eggs. Unfortunely, white eggs :frown:
She is still in her birth tank (60l)
4 females and the 2 most beatiful males are in a 200l tank. Parents are both dead :frown:
In the big tank, 2 of the females are...
Hi, guys
I was too late to react and let a cockatoo female die. For a week I begun to wonder if she was "fat" .... and them I just found this scene.
What´s the name of this worm?
Recommended action?
I used the azoo anti-endoparasite but it was so late, as she died in the...
one of these days, they ate some sera mikropan.
but I am not in shortage of bs eggs now :)
neverthless I am feeling more confident that they will adapt to dry food. Yesterday (monday) I gave adult bs for them. To the little ones, it´s not a meal, it´s a fight against the bigger shrimps :)...
I have 40+ cacatuoides 45 days old fry. Two of them begun to show red lines in their dorsal fin.
They´re eating recently hatched bbs ... and begun to not show interest in microworm anymore.
The real problem is that they refuse to eat dry food. I left them without food for a day (my bs´s...
wife got so heartbroke sunday night, after I removed a clay pot with wigglers (into a netbreeder). The female was in the other side of the tank and went into warp speed looking for the pot.
she was able to find 2 or 3 wigglers that fell off the pot and ate them ... another ones fell into a...
Thx, Ted.
Awesome timing of yours :)
I was leaving them without an airstone during the night - I was afraid of them falling off the pot - when I decided to check the forum one more time (last night).
thx for your attention
