    N. beckfordi and a. cacatuoides

    Hello, IIRC, N. marginatus are not known as fry eaters, though I doubt that they would pass up a free meal if it ever came their way. I would think that it would N. beckfordi would have a similar behavior, but more knowledgeable people would likely be able to give you more info.

    Hello everyone, Good news, my Hypancistrus is still kicking, er flipping, flapping ? LOL Anyway, she looks like she is on the road to recovery ! She is looking much better than a few days ago, her skin appears to be healing nicely. I used mycopur "in case" for three days, waited two days, did...

    A local store said it carried it online, but turns ou it was an error. I ended up buying Sera mycopur. I'm in the process of getting the QT ready right now, but I did put my fish in a bucket for the time being. I was able to take some photos, but my phone's camera isn't the best. Hope you'll bé...

    So, according to ChatGPT, this could be fin rot, and/or a wound that has become infected. In any case, I am going to take my fish out of this tank and place him in the tank that served as QT for my tetras. I will do a 50% WC first, and then I will start the treatment. Furanol Plus 250 seems like...

    Yes, he (or she, rather, I believe) seems to have two open wounds on these two spots. I've tried taking some better photos. Hopefully these will be better. Well, that doesn't sound ominous at all... Thanks for the info, I'm going to look into it. I wonder, if it is a bacteria, could it have...

    Hi everyone, Just wanted your opinion on something. Today, while trying to catch a glimpse of my L262 from the side of my tank, as I do everyday, it appeared to me that the skin on his backside looked "weird". But he vanished a couple of seconds later and that was that... So I decided to take...

    Dicrossus filamentosus

    Nice looking fish ! How are you going to bring the pH down ? Just botanicals ? Though from what I understand, you would need a lot to get below 6.5/6.0 pH. Or are using peat ?

    Hello! And stocking advice, please :)

    Hello, Seeing as N. anomala are bigger than my A. borellii, and seeing what happened with my personal pair, I would say, no. On one hand, you would think that with just two individuals (if the tank is well scaped), it could work because they would have the tank to themselves. But on the other...

    Which dwarf cichlid pair for a 13 gallon?

    Hhaha, thanks for the link ! But I did find it, right after posting my previous reply ^^ I see the final stocking decision has been made, and it's a good one imho :)

    Which dwarf cichlid pair for a 13 gallon?

    I've never owned them, but I've had a soft spot for them for a while. They are a beautiful fish imo, and are very peaceful apparently. Yes, agreed. Though the T. espei would have been ok in this tank I would think. With a tank this size, you have to focus on microfish, as more popular ones like...

    Mine definitely like to be in the flow, I often see them around the outlet of my filter (need to get a bigger filter for more flow ^^). But they also hang out all over the tank, from top to bottom.

    Which dwarf cichlid pair for a 13 gallon?

    Hello, If you like Rasbora espei, then there really is nothing preventing you from getting them (apart from personnal preference) as water parameters should be similar to the Nanacara. I've never owned Nanacara, so don't know about the predation part. South American alternatives to T. espei...

    Honestly, from having only kept them for a week, I find this fish very interesting. They are always on the move, either doing their own thing, or darting about as a group. I've seen some jousting going on, but nothing too serious, it's actually quite fun to see them do this. Apparently they...

    Which dwarf cichlid pair for a 13 gallon?

    Hi, I have a male A. borellii in a 15 gallon currently, which has a 16x15 inch footprint (41x39 cm), and he's doing very well. Granted, he is a little on the small side even for a borellii, but I would not put him in anything smaller. His parents were in a tank with a 24x12 inch footprint...

    South American river aquarium

    Hello, So I have finally gotten a hold of the second and final species for this fish. I came upon them by chance, as I was looking for a schooling fish that liked faster flowing waters, which wasn't a Corydoras, and that could fit in my tank. Not many such fish out there, I found out ! The...
