    Plants and Substrate

    I use stratum in the back of the tank for my giant red flame sword, val and dwarf sag, some drift wood as a barrier and sand in front. The sag is always putting runners into the sand but I pull them out. My apistos readily breed in that tank, I’ve got some clay caves discretely tucked into the...

    Looking for Apistograma in New York

    You ever find your apistos? I've got a bunch of cacatuoides that are going to be looking for a home in a few weeks. I'm on LI, out in Suffolk. J

    Fungus and eggs

    She’s chilled a little and the Male gets the hint, so less fighting. With so many hiding spots I’m not able to catch the male without trashing the tank so I’m going to leave him for now. Got the next go around I’m thinking 20L with space to put a divider in without messing up the tank. I...

He’s definitely not proven. They are both pretty young. I’m gonna contact the breeder and ask what water parameters he...

    Fungus and eggs

    My kH and GH are both 2 with pH at 7, pH probably too high? I was hoping the leaves would drive it down but I think I’ll try some peat in a bag? Or just use a pH down liquid? The substrate probably isn’t optimal, think I should grab another 10 and start over with some sand? I had some left over...

    Fungus and eggs

    Howdy partners, question on fugus in a breeding tank. I set up a breeding tank for a pair of cacatuoides using a bunch of driftwood and a couple coconut huts. Tank has been set up for a month, no ammonia or nitrites, nitrates kept low with 30% water changes every 3-4 days and some plants. The...
