Two of my very soft aquariums with plants for some ideas:
(approx 22 inches of a 48 inch long aquarium)
a 29
These two are from the same 29:
This is from a 100 (48inch x 24 inch)

The two are the same 20 long (30inch x 12 inch):
Some of the plants that do well with very soft acidic...
It is better than other. I forget Bob's name here on the forum but he has done a really good job. The only negative is i don't think he is keeping much these days so the newer species are excluded.
d. filamentosus is a larger more active fish and i'd recommend a larger aquarium. If you want to ask folks if they know of a source of a fish you should mention your location or region.
For example if usa aquaticclarity has some uaupesi.
I have one of two pairs of inspira and bluketa for 'sale' they are f1 - i also have a couple of extra male inspira. The fishes are free under the following conditions:
a) you live in usa (sorry not going to pay for international shipping much less paper work et all)
b) you have demonstrated...
This is a 48x100x18 (inch) aquarium i have setup; ec is below 35 and ph is below 6; those are a group of n marilyn to the upper right. You can see the difference in behavior with the tucano scattering while the n. marilyn spend most of their time in a tight group.
In theory there are 8 a...
In usa i use hth pool filter sand which i believe is around .5 mm rounded. I believe play sand is finer but of course there are different brands with different properties. @MacZ does raise an important point that all of these 'substrates' not designed for aquariums are subject to change in ways...
Two comments: I would make sure that black substrate is inert and if possible use something a little finer grain.
It is quite possible to breed apistogramma with pygmy cory. The pygmy turn out to be very timid and will not ignore attacks from another fish instead they will tend to stay away...
They will eat pretty much anything - not picky eaters - i fed mine mostly fluval bug bite finely ground up and some frozen myst shrimp mixed with brine shrimp. they really weren't picky - pretty much all my dwarf cichild will eat whatever i happen to toss in the aquarium though i try to keep the...

Hello, I am looking for Apistogramma sp. D39. I am from Slovakia and I am very interested in buying this Apistogramma.
If anyone is selling it or knows where I could buy it, I would be grateful for any information. Thank you.
In the usa they sell for as little as $20 though $25 is more typical and higher for a bonded pair. A couple of years ago they were selling for $50 to $75 for a single fish - so quite a drop.
If you want something rare and you are young and adventurous you can take a trip to sa and find something unique never before seen.
Having said that i myself have never gone to sa and at my current age it is not high on my list of adventures. Also in truth the world has become a very dangerous...
How time change; 3 or 4 years ago they were extremely rare but as people discovered how easy they were to breed they have flooded the market. They have some advantages over their cousins because of their extremely docile nature even when breeding though some would argue that this docility make...
If someone has a male a. wolli available drop a pm. If i don't hear anything in about 6 to 12 months i'll move the females into a community tank and move on from them as i don't think this is a species likely to be imported during their life-time.
I understand what Ken is saying - the general rule is specs in the blue marking are female as well as pink bellies but some of these weird colour breeds can also be pretty mis-leading so it isn't 100%.
I suppose genetic testing would be required to answer the question though i would not be shocked if it is not the same species but closely related. I couldn't find them listed on Tom's page under apisto news or similar - does anyone know how long ago they were discovered.
I am also curious how...
