I'm terrible about follow-ups, but here is an update: we set up the 40B tank with a sand substrate, couple of rocks, a couple of clay pots, a branch left over from trimming our oak tree last year, and a handful of Jacaranda pods and magnolia leaves collected from the neighborhood. Started the...
Well, thank you for putting them on my radar! I thought I was getting old. I only started in the hobby in the early 1980s, about age 10, with my first pair of swordtails, named George and Martha. I was shocked when they ate all their fry!
Cardinals have always been a favorite of mine as well. I tend to prefer keeping fish (and cars and motorcycles) that are a little bit out of the ordinary, but Cardinals are just classically awesome fish, even if you do see them in almost every fish store. They are hard to resist. This...
I shall take this advice (and the prior advice from Epos)! And thank you so much for the tetra recommendation... I am now in love with the Dawn Tetra. I have never come across A. paraguayensis, and they are exactly (even more, actually) what I was trying to look for in selecting the Silver Tip...

Hi. First post here. I'm new to this forum, and been 20 years out of the aquarium hobby. I'm setting myself up to re-start my 40 gallon tank this summer, and I'm planning on keeping at least one Apistogramma, since I've been a fan of them for decades and always wanted to keep them. I've...
Am I horribly out of date with my old 1990s book "Dwarf Cichlids: American Cichlids I" by Linke & Staeck from Tetra Publishing? That's what I have on my shelf, along with "The Cichlid Aquarium" by Paul Loiselle. :)
I've been away from the hobby for 20 years, and I'm just now collecting...
