    Kordon bags

    I may be the last to know but in case others didn't know either, Kordon has changed their bags to what feels like a thicker material and eliminated the side seams.

    New here and need advise on getting substrate

    I use CaribSea Peace River gravel that is also not suppose to affect hardness and pH. My water is very soft 50-70 ppm and acidic 4.5-6.5. This gravel has not affected those parameters.

    Apisto sp. Winkelfleck Dithers?

    I have used neon tetras and harlequin rasboras as dithers. Never have had a problem. Just don't put too many in the tank.

    What is with Mike Wise......?

    When we collect Apistos, Rivulus are also on the menu so to speak. Mike is right, they love to jump out of the net or holding container. When we bring them home each rivulus gets a separate bag. Learned from experience.

    Collecting net

    I've not been able to successfully use a seine in small streams. As you know, often there is very little water where we get apistos.
