    Hydra in fry tank

    Hi all, I have a fry tank with about 30 fry in various sizes that has hydra all through it. I've actually been away for a fortnight and just come back to this disturbing sight... The smallest fry are about 1cm. I don't know if they're big enough to not be effected by the Hydra. I want to...

    Community tank some help needed

    Well the tank is stocked with small (2cm and under) rasboras and tetra species and 10 pygmy corys. I was wondering so far I have a single pair of A. Trifasciatas in there, would it be presumptious to add another female? The tank is 1.7m long and 55cm wide. I have a "spare" female that has...

    Community tank some help needed

    I had intended to make the A. Trifasciata my "main theme". The rams were just because I thought it might be nice to have another "big fish" in there. I had thought so far to stock the tank with the small tetras... 2 cm and under and with some microrasboras... so the Trifasciata will be twice as...

    A. Trifasciata fry

    A. Trifasciata fry

    Thanks for the info, yes I didn't realise the pleco could be destructive with the fry till last night! Here I was thinking he was ok, and he went and munched on some of the poor buggers! But There's still 2 dozen or more alive. Now I'm using a syringe attached to a piece of tubing to get...

    A. Trifasciata fry

    So without even realising I woke up to 30 odd trifasciata fry swimming round a heavily planted communal tank, it has a pleco, guppies and the apistos. I also noticed the male apisto looking seriously beaten up, he had what looks like a bite on his flank and is generally hiding, as are the...

    Apistogramma Pebas (Blue Head)

    I have seen a listing for these on a online fish store. Though they've not got any pics up. Does anyone know is this different from normal Pebas or is it just marketing ploy? I have to say I was a little intrigued as I only know the Blue Head in reference to A. sp "Steel Blue". cheers S.T.

    interesting M. Altispinosa habits

I've yet to establish if...
