Hi all
I am looking for a trio or 1M 3F harem (or more... I have a 65 gallon just for them!) :) of A. trifasciata Guapore.
Are there any sellers / hobbyists that carry/collect this strain? I am in the US (in New York)
Thanks!
Sandy
So far I have not seen a whole lot of aggression with the araguaia but the fish are sort of young.. about 2 inches.

Hi folks
I have a 60 gallon (4ft long) moderate to heavily planted tank with 5 L. araguaiae (1 -1.5 inch, I can't really sex these buggers yet). Is it OK to add 5 A. borellii (2M 3F, also just about same size right now)? Or will it spell disaster eventually?
Thank you in advance for your...
Another option may be african shell-dwellers (or shellies), but they require hard alkaline water. I have kept Neolamprologus ornatapinnis in a 7G before and they did fine, barring the odd altercation.
Apisto's dont do very well in anything under 10G, as Mike points out. Having said that, I...
So now I have the following wish list that I need to pick from.
1. Thoracochromis brauschi
2. Pseudocrenilabrus nicholsi
3. Konia eisentrauti
Are there any recommendations/suggestions/comments?
Thanks, Mike, for the suggestion and the interesting anecdote. I think I will steer clear of the jewel cichlids for now.
To answer Jeff's question, I am looking for some interesting (spawning is a plus!) behavior that will fit in OK in a "sparsely" populated planted 45g.
I kept two...
Thanks Jeff and Ted. I'm not so sure I want those crazy H.guttatus (or bimaculatus) anymore!
Do you have any suggestions of other westies (and a potential source to get them)? A.nicholsi or Pseudocrenilabrus nicholsi or something similar? I dont really like the pelvicachromis or nanochromis...
Hi Guys
I am planning on getting a pair of H. bimaculatus for my 45 g long tank. I am trying to figure out what else I can put in there as tank-mates that wont get killed.
It is going to be planted W.African and I guess I will have to put in lots of bogwood to have plenty of hiding spots...
Hey mightymax,
I ran into you at Atlantis a couple of weeks ago.
My steindachneri spawned and now I have the mother leading around about 25 fry, relatively small spawn.
I'll try to make it to the NEC.

I was at Atlantis Fish Hatchery (in Gardiner, NY) last weekend and they had a tank labeled A.Caetei.
I couldn't see much inside the dark tank and I am not sure if they were, in fact, anything in caetei-complex.
You could always email them and ask about the A. Caetei. ( www.cichlids.net )
I would ideally put the temperature at 76-78 F after you are done with your ick treatment.
Like Jeff (Aquaticclarity) said, a higher temperature over the first month will give you a skewed sex ratio with mostly males in the spawn, especially at anything above 79F.
Good luck.
Welcome to the forum.
I have apisto steindachneri breeding with my discus, temp at 86F. Shouldnt be a problem, although I think over the longer term this will reduce longetivity of the apistos.
Good luck.
