    Would love to see an "attitude" list of Apistos.

    Thanks, I get it :) AND SO TRUE :) I wish I could remember who was commenting on kind of a general rule of thumb for behaviors. It seemed the certain groups were more prone to higher levels of aggression than others. I do remember that the Borellii were in the more subdued lol, for cichlids list...

    Would love to see an "attitude" list of Apistos.

    Well peace in tank now, moved all corys to my 40B for now :) May just keep him and not have corys in that tank. I am just not used to having a tank without them :O

    Would love to see an "attitude" list of Apistos.

    Aloha all, I know I read it somewhere, but know that some Apistos seem to be more aggressive than others. I was thinking Borrelli were one of the more "calm" ones to keep. I am spreaking to just a lone non breeding male :) I have an Ortegai male who I removed from his female, she was a terror...

    Male Panduro safe in young Rummynose rasbora 20L planted tank

    Yes a 20 LONG :)))) I do have a 40B I can swap him out to if needed, but didn't know if the Panduros had a more aggressive behavior. I know when breeding all Apistos are, territorial, some more than others. I am not breading, and just male :) He is a small 2" with tail, he will grow up in this...

    Male Panduro safe in young Rummynose rasbora 20L planted tank

    I would like to add one male Borrelli but hard to find, I can get a male Panduro, but don't know how there temperment is with small fish. Not sure if that would be safe, any one had that combo. These are young Rummynose Rasboras, so small. Thanks

    A. Agazzisi eating pest snails ?

    I TOTALLY AGREE :)))) Oh looks like I do have some rams horn snails, they were amongst the casualties, they were small, so maybe putting some larger ones in from my 40B will be a good test. My Apistos are spawning again and she has eggs, so snail project on hold lol :)

    A. Agazzisi eating pest snails ?

    It is really hard to sex them, I had them laying eggs all over in my 75 planted tank and only had a few snails, the eggs never hatched because the water was not brackish, but the eggs were ugly :O I got them out as soon as I could find them and then had to scrape all the eggs off everything :O

    A. Agazzisi eating pest snails ?

    GOOD point :) I would never put snails from an outside source in my tanks, BUT what about the snails from our own tanks that have been parasite free for many years?? Neritina species, I didn't like the looks of all the white eggs they laid everywhere in my tanks ;O, AND how do you know they...

    A. Agazzisi eating pest snails ?

    oh yaaee, so they don't eat mystery snails :) ??? I am not sure I can buy them here in Hawaii, will have to ck that out. We cannot buy shrimp, or some fish, but will be happy if I can add snails they don't eat, my other tanks stay so much cleaner with snails :) I am glad it wasn't a ph thing, so...

    A. Agazzisi eating pest snails ?

    Oh I forgot to mention, my German Blue rams and Bolivian rams did the same thing too. Our aquarium snails that eat fish food must taste extra good to them, like fish food. The male Ortegai doesn't seem to eat as many, but I do see him shake one here and there and eat it.

    A. Agazzisi eating pest snails ?

    I was wondering if anyone else had the snail feast going on with their apistos. My female Ortegai sucks them up faster than I can drop um in. I had a good snail population to keep all algae in ck before I added the pair of Ortegai to this tank, now NO snail of any size. The female eats ALL day...

    can a Bolivian Ram eat too many snails and die from them?

    Thanks Ade, I am glad to hear that you think it maybe natural causes, as in old age, although I have kept Bolivians in the past and seems they lived a bit longer. Maybe the fact that I added a very active baby Koi Angel to the tank just stressed him too much as well. Never had an Angel this...

    can a Bolivian Ram eat too many snails and die from them?

    Aloha all, I cannot see any other cause of death to my guy??? His color was good, eating but preferred baby snails and cory fry that are hatching constantly..........had recently added ram snails as he was keeping my bladder snails so in ck I needed more fsnails for some of my Anubis leaves. He...

    Male Bolivian Ram desperate for love

    Update for the Bolivian Ram :) Ok, I recently introduced a 2 1/2 " Koi Angel to the tank. The Ram is now guarding the Panda cories as if they were his fry lol. The first few days in the tank he and the Angel kinda tested each other, they have worked out their relationship. The Angel was smart...
