    New Cacs in at the lfs

    I work for a mom and pop lfs and we have ordered and received some very nice cacs recently. We received only 6 and 2 of them were full grown males. They are white-gold with all orange-flash type fins. The first 5 rays of the dorsel are blue and the ventril are blue/yellow. They seem very...

    D. Filamentosa deaths

    I had a trio of checkerboards for quite some time (8 months or so) in my 75gal "community" dwarf tank. They have all recently perished. They spawned multiple times without ever reaching a hatch. They even spawned 2-3 months back while treating for ich and after with carbon running (PH...

    Crenicichla compressiceps

    Hey all, I am looking for a little experience from you all on this fish's aggressiveness. I've read numerouse things, but only about the aggression during breeding. I am keeping a single unsexed fish of about 2 - 2 1/2 inches (55 cm or so) in a 75gal tank with a few other dwarfs (A...

    What can eat green hair and black beard algae? UPDATE

    I purchased a single Anubius Lanceolata a couple weeks ago for my planted tank. A couple days later I noticed a tiny speck of black aglae on the tip of one leaf. I removed the whole tip of the leaf and now it is on the rocks and leaves around the infected plant. The hair algae came to me...

    Can two different Agassiziis breed?

    I currently have a nice male A. agassizii 'Alanquer' or 'Blue' and have had a really hard time finding a mate. I found a female A. agassizii 'Double-Red' yesterday so I picked her up on a whim. The male is really sweet on the female and isn't being aggressive at all. He seems like he just...

    Bloodworms and Viejita

    Hello all, I've been concerned lately about feeding bloodworms in my 75gal community tank. I have a large male A. viejita among a lot of other fish. I would like to feed bloodworms (frozen) as I have two flat packs in the freezer. The first time the viejita ate bloodworms I noticed the...

    Sex Determination - Viejita

    I picked up a beautiful male and what looked to be a female a couple of days ago. The male is obviously male but the "female" doesnt't look like a female. The "female" was the largest female looking one in the lfs and both the lfs guy and myself though it to be female. Now it seems that she...
