    'lipstick' pencilfish ??

    Here is an updated picture of the lipsticks - them males have a lot of flare - i've been told they are closely related to n. trifasciatus if not the same species:

    Nanochromis Transvestitus current experience

    Hum. Only been a few days but the frys might be doing ok. I took these two pictures but they aren't very good. There are a lot of 1 to 1 1/2 inch cubbyholes where driftwood join that are partly obsecure by plants - In addition it appears the parents have dug a network of tunnels as they can move...

    how do you post an image in a 1:1 message ?

    test with So i tested it and here we can see control-v works fine but in the 1:1 message nothing happens so i will presume perhaps incorrectly that administrators have super powers that us mere mortals lack.

    A. atahualpa biotope

    Well if you read more of the text he uses it with other things anyway i'd focus more on the design high and low points then what some crappy fish might have been used with it.

    A. atahualpa biotope

    In truth it is just a sad play on fish GBR and i have no clue if his German friends live in Germany or USA. But i do like at least on paper the idea of them floating (never used them); the biggest complaint i have with the ziss box is i have to slide it down during water changes and then back...

    A. atahualpa biotope

    Read the description: German Breeding Rings or GBR (“Aufzuchtringe”) are a genius invention by several of my German pleco friends.

    A. atahualpa biotope

    The big difference i see between your box and some store boxes is that most of the store boxes either use screening and fit inside the tank using tank water or use air to push water into the box and have a method for the water to overflow back into the tank without the frys escaping. The key...

    WC Apistogramma sp. Ladislao

    Not yet. The ones in the 29 i see the female about once a month and the male about 3 times a year - and we are talking about glances not out and about views. I suppose they could have spawned and i would never know it because they would never show the frys. In the 40b i ahve a male with about...

    Nanochromis Transvestitus current experience

    Well - mine haven't divorced yet but it has only been a few months and this is the first brood. I have had fishes break up before (most frequently angels) and the results have not been pretty.

    Nanochromis Transvestitus current experience

    While they are always in general area of the frys you can't locate the frys by finding the parents. They are usually not right on top of the frys. this is a picture of some common kribs i had back in 2019 or 2020. I only kept them a year because they are prolific breeders. Here we can see the...

    Nanochromis Transvestitus current experience

    On Feb 13 I ordered a pair of Nanochromis Transvestitus which arrived on Feb 14 2026. I had wanted Nanochromis teugelsi but they had sold out between making my order and shipping. I had a 29 with some tucano, morse code tetra and humming bird tetra setup with 3 female wc elizabeth. Since I...

    Does anyone recognize tihs - is it pyhsical damage or disease

    I think the feedback i hope for is should i just leave her alone now or should i put something like kanaplex in their food. I can't tell if it is an active issue or just damage that will take a while to heal. I can tell you that she behaved 'normally' when i returned her to the tank; did not...

    blackwater tank cycling?

    I should give a narrower answer: The species i have: p. kribensis lokuenji - male was hyper aggressive but has calmed down he is about 1/2 grown and the female 1/3 grown with 7 jelly beans in a 10. Long term the 10 will be too small but not sure what i will do there. p. kribensis polongwe -...

    blackwater tank cycling?

    Not enough experience yet but most of them are pair forming - i hear different things as to if they pair for life or can break up. Pair forming are easier once the pair forms as you don't have this m/f cycle of aggression. Also i find the africans more willing to make a cave if they can't find...

    blackwater tank cycling?

    Just another picture showing a fish in a leaf - had a better one yesterday but didn't have my phone (differen tank with different fish in a folded leaf (pig in a blanket). Leaves are important for cooking fish not for tannis. She normally hides in the back but she doesnt' run from me and ate...
