I've never seen a fish like those panduro before. White panduro w/ some much orange/red in the tail.
I really like Jeff's photos. I want some Gymnogeophagus Labiatus or Gymno. Meridonalis from him so bad. I can't wait until he gets some in.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do this here, but I didn't see a place to put this.
I am looking to get rid of my 3 female apistogramma nijsseni females. All F0 from Ken Davis of Fishfarm USA in GA. They're all heathy and fine. My waters just not optimum for them and I can't find any...
Getting the apistos is the easy part. You can get 4 high quality F0 species for under $40 from most people on aquabid.com if you contact them directly. That's how I got started. Only one tank with apistos right now. Still waiting for a good quality nijsseni male to become available so I can...
Cacs and borelli are as mild mannered of apistos as you'll find. All apistogramma will defend their young. They're not quite as nasty as kribs, but they'll handle anything that comes near their fry/eggs.
I can't help you with a picture of leaf substrate. Cacs and borelli don't need to...
That has happened to one of my A. Nijsseni females. She is always more dark and she hide in the back. The other 2 females are more dominant and are eager to breed however my male died about 2 months ago and no one has male nijsseni anywhere so I'm waiting on Ken Davis, Ray, or Neil to some in...
Thanks Bobby. You just answered by question. Also, how colorful are they? They looked like a nice blue in the picture I saw of them. I'm just trying to figure out my stocking scheme right now.
I have a 35g with 3 F0 females right now that are beautiful. I had an F0 male but he died and I have been looking for the last 2 months of anyone who carries any F0 male nijsseni.
Anyways, they can be slightly aggressive, but for the most part it's just one picking on another or my cories...
Does anyone have much experience or really know anything about this Lake Malawi shell dwellers? I am setting up a 55g Malawi tank and I was just looking into them wondering about them.
The method Michael describes is what I am attempting to do right now. My starting PH is between 7-7.5 and my GH is 8. Over the course of 2 weeks I have been able to get my PH down to 6.5 and my GH down to 4. It works great.
The one thing I do differently is I just throw the peat moss in...
Yeah, I have some F0 nijsseni right now. I have 3 females and 1 male. My male is a little more timid than my females. Probably because my dom. female is a lot bigger than him.
Add some clay pots or things to hide in. And yes, lots of plants will help a lot. Dithers are always good. I...
Well, I think I figured out what my mistake was that caused my male to look sick. I think when I fed frozen blood worms, I didn't break them up enough and he got too much in him. Then the extra he couldn't process just stayed in the intestine and rotted. I've read that is common in cichlids...
I'm not sure how mine is. I think mine is something that the Metronidazol will be able to fix. I am picking some up on my way home and putting him in the Q tank and hoping it's not too late.
I have no idea what yours might be. I've ton looking lately online and your symptons just seem...
Anna, you might want to look at the post in this forum called "Ram not eating and breathing heavily". It seems to be what my apisto has and it might be what yours has.
I hope I heard about this too because my male A. Nijsseni is experiencing the exact same thing right now and I am very worried. He still swim around a little bit, but spends most of his time on the gravel or on the powerhead.
The 3 females are doing well. My male has been a bit concerned lately. He has been laying on the bottom or on the powerhead a lot lately. I just went thru a treatment of Melafix on the tank and it might have stressed him out.
I have to contact Ken and find out what water parameters he...
Thanks for the input Michael. I live in apartment with 3 cats who get into anything while I'm away at work. Also, I am VERY limited on space. There isn't really a spot where I could keep/grow live food in my apartment where my wife would let me. That is why is resorted to use frozen instead...
Thanks Mike. That's pretty much what must have happened. I stopped feeding the dry food in the first place because they didn't seem to eat it and it was just making the tank cloudy.
So yeah, I started feeding them only frozen. I have Bio-Blend cichlids pellets that are intended for rams...
