Not been any signs of breeding since the time i posted, but i got some better pictures of the female.
She was displaying to the male just before i got the camera on her, but as soon as i started to focus the camera, she stopped displaying.
The male was camera shy
Pity she wasn't still...
Thanks Mark
The female still has eggs, looks like she has moved them to under a bit of wood.
Her new spot under the wood is letting her eat again when the food drifts by her, instead of the male eating it all, as she didn't eat for three or four days when she was in the tunnel.
It looks like the female has finally matured, as she is now sitting on eggs :)
The pair have grown well and filled out over the last year, they ignore dry food of any form, but love any frozen food.
When feeding tonight the male looked a bit rough and the female was nowhere to be seen, even...
Got a pair of crenicichla notophthalmus around a year ago.
The pair got their weekly waterchange today, and tonight the female is now sporting a bright pink belly, which i never noticed before, she always looked quite dull to me.
Is her belly turning pink a sign that she has just matured, or...
I got sent this link by another hobbyist in Greece of Heiko Bleher's seminar there.
There are lots of good pictures on the link of various wild caught fish, biotypes and some underwater pictures.
The words are in English for the pictures and i thought you might enjoy seeing them.

Thanks Ted

The temperature is around 30/32 degrees, and will check the TDS of the tank tomorrow before i do a water change, and then add more salt to get it back to what it was before the water change, and keep using Protozin, as it is all i...
Thanks Jeff
I am going to keep dosing the tank with Protozin just as it states on the bottle for my tank and also use salt, will dissolve 75 teaspoons of salt into a beaker and add a third of it every couple of hours, until i have added it all today.
There is pros for and cons against salt...
Thanks Ted
I've read often enough about using aquarium salt (not marine salt) dosing at one level teaspoon per gallon, but never tried it.
I do have some aquarium salt and the tank they are in holds; 340L / 75G, how much salt would you add to this tank each day ?
How much Methylene Blue do...
Two weeks ago i got six comprssiceps from a shop which was keeping them in water with a ph of 7.5, kh & gh around 8.
When they were delivered to me, i drip acclimatised them in a bucket for an hour with my water, which reads; ph 7, kh & gh 1.
Lost one compressicep on the first night, but the...
Thanks Jose
Would the tail grow back if the fish had been bitten into the body a bit ?
I would then have had to treat an actual wound instead of the fungus that was on the small bit of tail that was left, and then hope that the tail grew back.
Looks like my fish has been lucky then, i'll...
