I hove the four adults in my "Rio Ucayali Biotope" Tank dimensions are 36" L x 24" W x 18" H. The first time one female have them with her for 4 days after they are free swimmers, then the fry just disappears, I assume they just eat it. Now, I don't want to happens the same. I have a 3gallon...
One of my A. Borelli hatched 3 days ago, still in the fase not free swimmers. I want to know when I should remove the fries only or removed the female. I have one male and three females.
Thanks guys for your help.
Why mango? I had used before, but I don't like it because is too long.
Anyone know if Bucida buceras leaves are safe to use it? It's a common tree in Puerto Rico and produce a lot of leave litter.
I have been used this pods before and no problem at all. Right now, I have it with my German blue rams.
I do the same, I collect everything that I know is fish safe. I read that all tree that you can eat their fruits are good to use their leaves.
Hi Darrel,
Sadly, in Puerto Rico we don't have oaks.
I have used mango leaves, Guazuma ulmifolia seed pods, cacao leaves and seed pods, Indian almond leaves and seed pods Delonix regia leaves and seed pods, banana leaves and stem, bamboo leaves, coconut shells, Palm stems, and no developed...
I don't know the bamboo species but I used before.

Thanks Tom for the information and examples (photos), that's what I need to add more leaves.
I am planning to add some
Swietenia mahagoni - Mohogany leaves
Plantain leaves
Cappata leaves
Bamboo leaves
Seed pods
Coconut flowers
Maybe is the light and the blackwater make it looks different.

I understand what you're saying, make sense. So far, I like how my tank came out, that's the main reason.
Your tank looks awesome!
I like those Nymphaea. Maybe later I will add some
