i know i'm really slow minded but i don't see how to get temperature. In category temp is not listed and when i click on a river it gives coordinates but no temperature.
No you didn't but you said the temperature was measured during the warm months so if the temperature is 78 (tom's page) during the warm month what is the temperature during the cool months ?
I realize it is on the equator; anyway i raise the temperature of the aquarium some months ago to 78 but...
I'm not sure there might be something wrong with the tank so I think i shouldn't say too much more. It is 100 gallons and the dithers have lasted for years but the dwarf cichild don't seem to last long.
Didn't want to make a new thread but one odd thing i noticed is one of them has a strong blue fluorescent line. In the aquarium perhaps due to darkness the line is much stronger but here are some very poor photos:
It does have a touch of red tails and i presume it is a male with the more...
Intesting. I did have a couple of fishes (not going to name the species); that did not do well at 75 yet it sounds like that should have been good. Most of the various species i have i keep at 77-78 though the ipirangia i keep at 79-81. Your comment suggest that 75 should be good for most...
I do too - i was just noting the conclusion that if you did reach 3 nitrification will stop.
There were some other comments that mrs google posted that seemed incorrect. Still it is good to know that if we do reach 3 all things have reached a blackstar and the world has been turned inside out.
On the basis of the results from stable isotope investigations and the examination of a metadata set we conclude that the lower limit for nitrification in lakes is around pH 3.
The above is the conclusion of the paper you linked (the full paper is behind a paywall); so doesn't this mean mrs...
So Mrs. Google thinks that if i recycle water and rerun it through ro with base tds of 20 i will eventually get ph crash as low as ph 3 and kill off all the bacteria causing the fishes to die. In addition despite fishes coming from native water with ec 20 that the fishes will die from osmoic...
So i did a bit searching and the temp being recommended for cf uaupesi (red wedge in case there are other populations) is 78 to 86 with 82 as a good target.
This is a bit warmer then most other species i've kept (not sure i will get these but i could grow out a group in the discus tank and when...
Old thread but fyi: aquaticclarity has them listed. Sometime he gets the species wrong so you might get a picture first given their price point ($140 for trio).
On thing i've noticed from the f1 (about 1/6 to 1/8 full size) is they are developing very rich red on the dorsal fin that parents lack:
Not sure if this is a juvi thing or if they will be radically different from their parents.
A 33 gallon is a relatively shallow tank and any dither you buy will likely be killed by a breeding pair of dwarf cichild. I've had that problem in my 15 and 20 long. In an 18 inch aquarium dithers that stay in the upper 3rd (not all nannostomus stay high - for example n. marginatus like to go...
couple of pictures:
This is just an amazon sword approx 24 to 30 months old - and it isn't that large (not sure how folks get those giant ones) but for some reason in recent weeks it has turned super duper green and i don't really understand why it has gotten so green:
Not a bad thing goes...
