Hi!
So far I have not had any luck getting microfauna in any of my tanks except for detritus worms Recently dabbled in the botanical method of fish keeping and I think I might have to introduce these inverts on purpose. Has anyone ever tried bag of bugs from Phillips Fish Works? I wonder if...
Ivanacara bimaculata unexpectedly spawned today. Curious why the female was sticking belly up towards the roof of the cave.
TDS is around 120 PPM, GH and KH are both at around 30 PPM each. I initially had A. macmasteri here but decided to transfer those to a nice 20g since the fish size-to-tank...
Hi!
Looking for some smaller (not more than 4"), cool-looking surface dwelling fishes that resembles a gar/pike. Preferably something elongated and that can happily live in acidic / low hardness water / blackwater.
Was looking into Acestrorhynchus nasutus but it appears they are quite rare...
I am wondering how to go about with this one. I know my tap water is harder than my head (Hello SoCal!). How would you go about with the transition from high ph, high tds tank without causing a killer cycle crash? The acidic beneficial bacteria will have to take over but how to do it gradually?
Hello!
I think I finally completed my 40g Apisto tank (initially I kept a breeding discus pair here). I tried several dither fish combos:
1. silver hatchets
2. Pencil fish
3. glass bloodfin tetra
4. Corydoras sterbai
Nothing seems to have worked: the silver hatchets were bigger than the...
Hi!
Ive seen lots of videos of this species (I. adoketa) with tank mates. Some calling it a peaceful species except during spawning. I have a few questions regarding this species:
1. Do tank-raised fishes (several times removed from wild ancestors) require soft water e.g. they will die when...
Hi! Looking to get another pair! Looking for something not so small in size. Which of these 3 grow the biggest?
* sp. ladislao - like the one they have here (beautiful!) - https://www.caseystropicalfish.com/product-page/pre-order-a-sp-ladislao-pair-expected-5-1
* elizabethae
* baenschi inka...
Hello! Im sure there are countless strains out there. Just wondering which Apistogramma has the most blue body coloration? Came upon the agassizii "Blue Flame" variant and Im in love with the red fins and the patternless blue body color. Are there any other strains that are more blue yet?
Currently have a blackwater tank (30 x 18 x 18) with a resident A. macmasteri pair. There are also some Corydoras here but planning to remove them because they make the tank look too busy. The top/surface column has several hatchefishes and cardinal tetras.
Now, should I remove the Cory cats...
