I will say this photo was taken not long after introducing so they were still adjusting
They do spend all their time in the very top 1/3 of the tank
and there is Salvinia, a large raft of riccia and also leucocephala that is currently growing
The pikes have developed into incredibly nice fish, the male has shown courtship signs but the female has had 0 interest in him
I do believe that I could have missed my window of opportunity with them
That’s interesting and incredibly strange so have that spinal bend
And they are more than likely wild caught, I know the species has been spawned sparingly but I can’t imagine it’s easy to do on a commercial scale
Thank you!
There is one or two with a strange curve to the spine but as of now shows no issue
All have been feeding on a mix of nauplii, microworm and vinegar eels
Will likely remove the defected fish if there ends up being any spawning signs
My female apisto has also spent a week blocking...
After doing a lot looking into each species, I do think N.eques is the fish I’ll go with
N.sp amaya will eventually have its own tank and project, but for now eques will be a better suitability for these pair
N.espei were another top of my list but I don’t know if I can justify spending the money on them
May just go with N.eques, I did have a group of N.tri before and they terrorised the entire tank, I always thought it was a rogue group of fish but it appears they’re all that way
So I’m considering dithers, currently there’s a group of 8 Hyphessobrycon procyon, but I would like eventually to add a Nannostomus species
ideally I want a group of N. sp amaya, however I can source N.eques and some of the more common species a lot easier, is there much behaviour difference in...
