    Breeding Pair, what’s next

    Like stated above, get a grow out tank or three for the fry…borellii fry are stupid slow to grow so it’ll be minimum 6-8 months before they’re large enough to send down the road. Corydoras act a bit aloof, and won’t take the “stay away” cues from momma borellii…they are armored for the most...

    Is a. sp d51 available for import ?

    If memory serves, the location was pretty remote, and required a tractor ride of a couple hours to reach. Think the only way your going to get those is taking a trip with Daniel.

    Proper temperature for d. fiorni ?

    What temps have you been keeping filamentosis in? If memory serves, they required about the same temperature as foirni to get reasonable sex ratios

    Proper temperature for d. fiorni ?

    For reasonably equal ratios of sexes in fry, 79/80* f. A majority of the fry produced during fish room winter (72-75*f) were female, summertime spawns (78-81*f) produced fish that were near equal in sexes. Nearly all of the WC fish I’ve seen imported have been male, which would suggest mid-high...

    Ultrasoft Clearwater Livestock Options for Male Panduro

    Love the tucano tetra from Brazil (Tucanoicthys tucano), fantastic dither, and small enough to not bother fry. I’m not sure I’d describe them as dimorphic, I can’t tell the boys from the girls, but there are alway fry. The blueberry tetra (Hyphessobrycon wadai) is absolutely spectacular when the...

    [Species Identification] Question about wild Apistogrammas from Tefé

    Sp tefe males will display thin reddish zig-zag lines below the lateral band, agassizii “tefe” males will not. Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the girls

    Atahualpa hiding

    atahualpa in my opinion, are probably the most violent Apistogramma species I’ve ever kept….she probably adopted the philosophy that it better to hide than to take the beatings. With that said, 64L is probably only appropriately sized for one atahualpa

    D39 male or female ?

    I had a group of these once…ended up with what I thought was 5m/1f. Moved the 4 extra males to a community tank…only to find one in the community tank with a group of fry a month later

    Apistogramma lineata info?

    If the scales are good, that’s good. Just thought the circled portion of the picture of your fish looked odd.
