    Female Borellii - dark pigmentation on face/head

    Thanks Mike. And as of this am, after 72 hours, the coloration is gone - back to uniform light color. Apistos keep it interesting…

    Female Borellii - dark pigmentation on face/head

    Well that is a bummer to hear. On the other hand, all of my fish have eventually died! I do know that darkened head pigmentation can be associated with mycobacterial infection, which I have had concerns about in the past. What was the correlation in timing between appearance of the coloration...

    Female Borellii - dark pigmentation on face/head

    Hi, not sure I have seen this before but my female Borellii has recently been showing dark pigmentation around her head. Picture doesn't even fully do it justice, but you can get the idea. She had been in yellow breeding coloration for quite a while (had some fry, kept them together for a few...

    Thanks Mac, let me take a look and see if I can find them.

    Ladies only - no breeding in this tank. I’ll take a look.

    Dwarf pencilfish “alto nanay”

    Thanks, Mac. Any thoughts on a more suitable dither? I could bring the temp up a bit I guess, but prefer to cater to the borellii.

    Dwarf pencilfish “alto nanay”

    Thanks, Mac. Are there any pencilfish species that would do well on a cooler tank? I’m trying to keep the temp on the lower side for the borellii.

    Dwarf pencilfish “alto nanay”

    Hi all, these nannostomous marginatus are available on Dan’s fish without photo and I was curious if anyone has any experience? I’m looking for a small group of pencilfish to go with some female borellii in a 20 gallon long. Water is 72F, pH 6.8, hardness <75 TDS. Let me know if I’m on the wrong...

    Juvenile Borellii “pantanal” sexing

    Will do. 2-3 cm range approx so maybe still too small…

    Juvenile Borellii “pantanal” sexing

    Hi, these little guys are a few months old now and I’m hoping to separate the males and females… any help on the determination? I’ve got a few photos attached which ought to be numbered on the pic. 1-4 are the kids and 5 is the mom (who is suspiciously yellow). More than the ID - can you tell...

    Is there such a thing as too much baby brine shrimp?

    I’ve got frozen cyclops in the mix too!

    Is there such a thing as too much baby brine shrimp?

    Nice, thanks Ben. I may be burning a bridge too far with my wife if I establish live worm cultures but I will investigate! In the meantime I’ll keep the mysis going. Hikari has their standard version and then these monster “Lake Okenegan” variants that are supposedly both invasive and more...

    Is there such a thing as too much baby brine shrimp?

    Good to hear! It’s easy enough so I’ll keep hatching.

    Is there such a thing as too much baby brine shrimp?

    Title pretty much covers it. I’ve been keeping BBS hatching regularly to feed my borellii fry (now juveniles) and all the fish seem to love it (have some rummynose tetras and chili rasbora too). I also feed some frozen food (myesis shrimp, cyclops) and some crumbled bug bites from time to time)...

    Thinking about dimensions for a new tank

    Agree - my plants don’t do well if the sand is too shallow.
