    Need an ID please, arrived with Ortegai

    I think it may have mixed along the way - either transhipper, supplier in Australia or at the LFS itself, I bought them from a shop that supposedly sold them to me as Ortegai, but when I took them home, I noticed a pair very different to the Ortegai( 3 males). They could have landed as wild who...

    Need an ID please, arrived with Ortegai

    Hi, I have a pair of contaminant that came with Ortegai, I quite like them but am unsure of their ID. Would someone be able to tell me what they are? This is the male.

    Should I get a pair or a single male?

    If you can find - Boraras Uropthalmoides is very hardy and low maintenance. Makes for great watching in a nano tank.

    The aquarium sells to me at a special price for making the trip to Orange. $50 per piece.

    Peruvian List

    Looks selective bred but since you're sure it's wild, good on you. Nice fish, I get my fish from Orange so regardless of them having inferior genetics - they're precious to me.

    Peruvian List

    Yeah sure, will get in touch if need be. From my experience, when you breed, the next generation will throw up a few winners so I'm not worried.

    Tank mates for Borelli pair

    Let me start off by suggesting a tiny fish called Rasbora Maculatas, they are easy to find and are very good with a pair of apistos. If you want Boraras brigittae because they are prettier, go ahead, but they cost more as a dither fish. The Maculatas will give the Borellii more confidence in...

    Hello from Winnipeg

    Welcome back to the fold! Must have been hard staying away - the game has changed in 20 years for me, I've learnt how to use an RO filter to increase my breeding success with certain rarer fish. Its been incredibly fun!

    Pair of Apistogramma in 20 g high?

    MacZ, we use the metric system in Aust. No need to be so confrontational when replying, we are here to learn from each other. I can have my opinion and you can have yours. I stock my tanks - 2 footers for one pair and my Cacatuoides are pretty docile. What I meant is that when...

    Pair of Apistogramma in 20 g high?

    Tank looks good with your choice of plants, if you were to get Cacatuoides the new tank would be perfect, I did a quick calculation and its ideal for a pair of apistogramma. Only other fish I would add are some dither fish - to give the pair of apisto bit more confidence so they won't hide all...
