Okay, I will check these out.
My tank, where I inted putting them in is 240 litres, so roundabout 63 us gallons. Anyways, I like the idea of "small fish in a (relatively) big aquarium", so therefore I am mostly looking for the so called nano-fish.
Well, it depends a bit on the individual...
Yes, I was considering breeding these fish, since they are pretty rare, but I would not do that in the display tank. I have another 60l tank in mind for having them breed, and then take the male out to the display. If I even get a pair.
Regarding the p. simulans: Do you know if this...
Thanks so much for such a detailed answer. I guess that, even though I really like the tucanos and have never kept them before, I will go with an alternative. I think Paracheirodon simulans would look nice in that dark water, or perhaps even Nannostomus eques and/or a small group of Nannostomus...
My A. baenschi did show the same behaviour. Well, close, not biting, but less shy females, swimming directly towards my hand while the male was hiding the moment the lid opened.
Okay, so I have to look further into possible tankmates. Thanks Mac.
I was asking because it is really hard to find infos on the average TL size of an average adult (male) fish. I found some Infos, implying 7cm max TL.
I was aware that they are macmasteri group. In fact, that is what made me...
Hello everyone,
now that my first aquarium is up and running and already stocked, and I have separated the two bitaeniata — the smaller one is currently on its own in a 60 cm tank — I have managed to get another aquarium. This one has a footprint of 120 cm x 40 cm.
In a few weeks, I may be...
Okay, thank you very much. May I ask why you see a male there? I want to learn from you :)
Yesterday the fish in the picture was showing a black dot instead of the lateral band for a short persiod of time while the definitive male was close. Do you know what this mean? Is that stress?
Ghere is...
Hello,
I just got a pair of A. bitaeniata. I am actually not sure if the female really is a female so I ask you for help. I unfortunately only have my mobiles camera.
Here are three pics of the fish in question. She is approximately 3 to 4 cm.
Hi everybody. I hope you all are doing well.
I just saw the video by Chris Lukhaup where he filmed a color variant of A. agassizi. I wonder if anyone knows which cf. it is? Just in case I want to look for it in the stores. :)
Here is the link to the video on Chris' Youtube Channel:
Great, thanks again. I gave the article a quick read yesterday, but I definately have to invest some more time into it :)
I will have a look at the UKAPS thread.
If You have not already bought and used the JBL sand you could try to get really fine quartz sand. In Germany 20 € will get you a 25kg bag and it looks and feels like the JBL (natural colored) - in my opinion at least.
Some of the companies here offer a inert black version as well, but I do...
Hello everyone! Here is a quick update:
I picked up the test strips yesterday. Contrary to my expectations, however, only the Sera strips were available. Having tested several times, it's clear that the trend is moving towards 'no nitrite'.
Out of curiosity, I then did the drop test again. This...
This is my plan. I am trying to understand the different colorings of the leaves as you descirbed in the index. For now I am still training my eyes :)
Okay, this is really interesting. I am definately have to do more reading about water chemistry. It is such a big field. Thanks for sharing...
