    Pronouncing fish names

    "viejita = vee-a-hee-ta" I'm certain this is how you pronounce viejita in spanish. I know because when I bought my viejitas I thought it was pronounced like ve-gee-ta (like Vegeta the bada$$ from the cartoon Dragon Ball Z), and then I found out from spanish speaking friends you have to...

    Apistogramma Inca50 (pictures)

    Hello, Check out these Apisto Inca50's I got yesterday. My buddy and I went fishing for the weekend, we didn't catch any fish on the trip, so on the way back home we stopped by Matt's (aka Farm41) house and picked up some plants and fish. These Apistos are awesome, supreme quality...

    Need help fixing broken aquarium

    I've decided to turn the 15gallon into a terrarium, because today I picked up a 20gallon tall for free (woohoo!). Well that solves my problem, thanks for all of the input though guys, it was very useful.

    Need help fixing broken aquarium

    Hi, I recently aquired this nice 15gallon aquarium, it is perfect for shell-dwellers, and I found a good fish store that carries Neolamprologus caudopunctatus. I spent yesterday cleaning the aquarium out, and scraping the painted background off (why would someone wan't to paint a tank?)...

    Labidochromis caeruleus Babies

    Here are some pictures this is the 10gallon they are currently in. Here is the clearest close-up picture of the fry so far. I count 14 of them in this shot, (I remember while taking this picture they were all at the bottom except for one, so that makes 15). Here is a shot of...

    Labidochromis caeruleus Babies

    Hello, I know that Yellow labs aren't exactly "dwarf" cichlids, but I had to post this somewhere. Last night before I went to bed, I checked on my holding female Lab in her floating breeder trap. I noticed that the bulge in her throat was gone, I thought "thats odd," then I checked out the...

    Apistos + Sand

    My LFS has some nice black sand that I would like to get for a 20gallon tank which will be the future home of a pair of Apistos. My friend got some of this sand for his 20gallon which he'll be putting shell-dwellers in, and it looks real nice, and is affordable. The problem is that I don't...

    Starting an Apisto tank, looking for advice

    heh too true. The worst part is that I actually typed out about that much a few days ago on here, but my computer crashed when I hit the submit button. I didn't feel like re-typing it all right after the crash, so I waited a few days and typed this.

    silver hatchetfish

    I'm thinking of getting 7 marbled hatchets for my 29gallon, from what I understand they don't get nearly as big as the silver hatchets. I've seen some big silvers (about 2 1/2") but no 3 1/2" ones.

    Starting an Apisto tank, looking for advice

    *update* Hi, it's been awhile since my last update. Where to begin... I've had my Apistogramma cacatuoides for a little over 2 months now in my 29gallon tank. for the first few weeks, they were the only inhabitants of the tank, then I finally bought a bristlenose pleco. The bristlenose...

    I give up!!

    Don't feel bad, I am on my 3rd batch of cacatuoides eggs. I tried keeping the eggs in the main (29gallon) tank but it was always unsuccesful, so I have moved the eggs to a seperate tank in hopes of being able to actually raise the fry. So keep on trying, I know how exciting and frustrating...

    Starting an Apisto tank, looking for advice

    Well Hot Damn, Earlier I was cleaning my Apisto tank and poking around, when I noticed that 1 of my females was pretty yellow, and her lateral line was very diminshed (it wasn't as black as it usually is). I also make note that she is hanging around one specific shell constantly, so I...
