    crazy blue rams

    To date, my rams fries are about 4/5 weeks old. The pair did an excellent job raising the fries. They have the whole tank to themselves BTW. However this morning, the male began chasing the female away. Won't let her near the fries. Does it mean that the female is ready to spawn again, and a...

    crazy blue rams

    Hmm.. I had the same experience with my pair. However I noticed that with every spawn, they seem to learn to be better parents. My pair spawned again 2 weeks ago and all the fries seems to be doing well. This is their 5th spawn. I have lost all the fries from previous spawn, to other tankmates...

    Apisto aggi's, advice please

    Yeah, your tanks' OK. 2 coconut caves will do. I also "drop" in quite a few driftwoods and plants tied to driftwoods (java fern, nana and java moss). I like moss because it will also give some protection to the fries.

    Apistogramma Agassizi - Just Purchased

    I do recommend getting your Apisto a tank of their own if you are thinking of breeding. It will REALLY save you and the fries A LOT of trouble. I am facing this problem right now with my Ram fries. They are in a tank with 7 Black neon tetras and a couple of wild bettas. Even though the Ram...

    Apisto aggi's, advice please

    What is the size of your tank? If it is too small, say 10g or less, you might have a problem. A way to help this guy out is to put in lots and lots of plants and driftwoods. Coconut shells are also good as caves. The more thickly planted the tank is, the more secure the fish will feel and also...

    breeding Agassizzi

    I am trying to breed my pair of agassizzi in a 10g tank. The tank is heavily planted with drift woods and some coconut shells to form caves. They have been there for 2 week now. I noticed that at first the male was quite aggressive towards the female. Luckily There is enough hiding place to...

    Ram with a vengence

    Oh no! Sorry to hear the bad news. What do you think was the cause of death? Any aggression ? water change? Stress by the male?

    Ram with a vengence

    SO how did it go? Did they hatch? Mine spawned as well but the eggs was eaten as soon as they were laid!

    Ram with a vengence

    Ok, I normally wouldn't even take notice of the Rams (Microgeophagus Ramirezi) when I go to the LFS. I don't read about them and don't even look at them. That is because a lot of them are just not good quality. Worse still..they have the "balloon" strain..:eek: I am no fan of selective...
