    How long do Nannacara anomala live ?

    tds and everything sounds well in range. Try increasing temp by 2 or 3° C slowly and give him maybe some discus high protein food for 2 times a week. maybe he recovers but bent spine doesnt sound so much promising tbh. generally indicates internal parasite or calcium deficiency or old age. share...

    How long do Nannacara anomala live ?

    around 6 to 8 years.. really depends on many factors like temperature, water hardness, ph etc.. I checked literature for you, at 4 years it is better if you keep water a bit softer side so his body doesnt need to process much of harder water and food as much live food. other than that I cannt...

    Abacaxis sp.

    He will grow well, he has nice fins, maybe give him some blackworms dipped in bugbites wafers, he will pop amazing colors. by the markings on his side looks like he was dominant male in his group (note: it doesn't mean he was aggressive, aggressive males have different marks) you can just say he...

    Apistogramma Agassizii Gold .. Male or female need help

    Wow, the gold strain you had, looks so beautiful and elegant, mine one is just pretty but if I had choice to reconsider, I would have gone for Wild caught one. I don't understand why we need to make more color morphos ones when we already have such nice natural sp. these "fire reds" are real...

    Apistogramma Agassizii Gold .. Male or female need help

    I think helping and being involved in various fishrooms give you more expertise and knowledge than only one fishroom of own :D and it is true, own fishroom takes a lot of effort to run and helping hand is always welcomed. I used have a fishroom with my friend, and ran around 48 aquariums...

    Sexing my Electric blue rams

    These are easiest to breed, I do think you have one female based on her head shape and fin curves, so just to confirm it. keep them one week high protein diet and constant 28°C to 29°C. after that week, for water change, keep your RO water outside cold weather chill it as much you can, then for...

    Apistogramma Agassizii Gold .. Male or female need help

    Thanks for your input. Really appreciate. Yeah true about this color bred version, I was like "Have I forgotten all about Apistogramma?" completely different behavior, I had big male A.baenschi and he was aggressive but not like these little guys. But like you said, I think I need to grow a bit...

    Hello all, I know this has been discussed and I too have a bit experience in breeding Apistogramma like Ap. Eunotus "RIO TAPICHE" WC in past. But I did take break for some time due to professional and business' trips but I am back at it. I just made a new tank and the region I am in didn't...
