So I’ve added my dither fish today…….after much deliberation I’ve added a group of 12 neon green tetra. They look really good, the green flash they have looks great with everything. I’m thinking I’ll add another 3/4 to make the group a bit bigger. When they shoal together they look amazing...
No they are not. To be fare ive only added leaves to give them foliage on the floor. I am
Not going to actively lower the PH. I thought it looked good and more in keeping with there habitat. Bearing in mind I have seen people keep these in sponge Bob square pants houses and pink gravel.

you have helped shape this tank so far so thought you would...

Ok I hear you so it’s a no to more species and it’s a…….add more plants and hiding places for the little group I do have. What’s your advice then? Add more females to spread the aggression out like I do with the Africans and leave it as one male and say 4/5 females?
So I’ve kept African milawi cichlids for a few years now and I had a spare 100 litre tank sat around and I wanted to do something different. I decided to go to the other side of the cichlids world and try apistogrammers.
The tank is H48, W76, D37cm. I’ve put some silver sand in it with a lot of...
