    Some more pictures of Dicrossus foirni Unfortunately, you can only show 20 pictures maximum in one post. So here are a few more impressions.

    Other beautiful species of Apistogramma

    I have made a small selection of Apistogramma species that are rarely imported (Germany), or generally appear only rarely in the trade and which, in my humble opinion, are extremely beautiful specimens of their species. All information without guarantee. From Peru come two species of so-called...

    Nuchal humps?

    If so, then there should be a trigger for it.

    5 gallon tank

    The smaller the tank, the more dedicated the feeding.

    That reads just fine. A good start for the new year ;-)

    Very nice. Congratz!

    Sick cockatoo

    Osmosis water or distilled water can be used to change the water parameters accordingly. Since I am not sure to what extent you are able to manage it accordingly, I would suggest you try adding humic substances. These can be found for example in oak leaves, beech leaves or in alder cones (not...

    Sick cockatoo

    Hello, I find it difficult to understand your treatment method, as you are not only putting a heavy load on the metabolism of the Apistogramma, but also on that of its housemate. Against this background, already the treatment with eSHa NDX would be completely sufficient, as it is Levamisole...

    A. Agazzisi eating pest snails ?

    Since different parasites also have different incubation times, it obviously makes sense to keep snails in a separate aquarium for several weeks as well before moving them to the main tank. Whether Vittina spec. or Clithon spec. or Neritina spec. remains, from my point of view, the same. The...

    A. Agazzisi eating pest snails ?

    And this is exactly how endoparasites get into our fish, as they use snails as intermediate hosts. That's why I no longer have any snails in the aquarium, except for Neritina species.

    That will grow back. It also takes a while. It will not be as "beautiful" as before, but it will grow back.

    Darn females

    The stones should not release any hardness builders into the water. This can be easily checked by adding acid over them drop by drop. If it foams, then it contains lime, which releases hardness into the water.

    New to Apistos

    He definitely has a bacterial bloom. And 12 gallons is definitely too small for A. cacatoides. With that in mind, any additional fish/species would be an extra load that the small filter could never handle.

    Concerned about my new Apistogrammas

    I would definitely feed him Artemia with garlic juice. As long as he eats normally, levamisole is not yet necessary.

    Concerned about my new Apistogrammas

    If the dominant male chased him, it was permanent stress. The consequences can then also be such that the weakened fish becomes susceptible to diseases.

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    One can be quite divided about the keeping of fish that come from completely different habitats and that already differ in their soil conditions, climatic, seasonal conditions, flow ratio, and that also have completely different food habits. However, it is indisputable, if aquarists would like...

    Tank mate for apistogramma borelli

    I see it exactly like Mac. Apistogramma is definitely not a fish for aquascaping.

    Great. That's why we're all here, to help each other with problems. And if a few fish survive thanks to my help, I'm happy.

    Concerned about my new Apistogrammas

    No. Wild-caught animals always have parasites and these have an incubation period of up to six months, depending on the species. The fish in question doesn't look good and I don't think it can be saved. It is certainly worth a try, but I don't think there is much more that can be done. No, it...

    Concerned about my new Apistogrammas

    Looking at the photo, it seems to me that the Apistogramma has a sunken belly. I therefore strongly tend to think that he is suffering from flagellates. The problem with fish that no longer want to eat is how to get a medicine into them. In this case, I would advise treatment with levamisole, as...
