There is a simple way just ask the ladies to line up on the right and the gentlemen to line up on the left; and toss the non compliant members of the group ;)
I was going to write an answer but i think i will stop since it isn't all that informative so in saving move i will note that the biggest news is no news as tomc website hasn't noted any thing new in over a year.
The problem is i'm more interested in detail behavior of the fishes then just breeding them. The more species I keep the differences i think i see in how they behave not just with themselves but also around other fishes. We talk generalities about polygamous m/f aggression but some species are...
I guess another way of phrasing this if the tds is 30 - do you really care about the split. We can assume 1 to 1.5 but i would think the lower to go the less certain it becomes - though in the end does it really matter if at tds 10 it is 100% kh or 100% gh (and of course gh itself can be a lot...
Thanks - based on pictures jeff sent i am assuming the catch location was santa isabel but not 100% sure. They were sent with some 'red' elizabeth. Kind of want some blue elizabeth but they seem less common.
Oh well i have one 29 i could put them in but not sure. As for a. sp miua never been...
We have KH and GH - while there is a well discussed correlation between KH and ph and impact on bacteria types which in terms can impact fish immunity based on the environment they been exposed to - but when we talk about impact to fish metabolism and organs is there a distinction between KH and...
I have a 2nd group in a darker aquarium but they still seem to prefer the bright areas to hang out - conversely the orange tetra prefer to the dark area - the 2nd group of morse code are in a 100 (gallon) and the 2nd group of orange tetra are in a 65 (gallon); the above morse code is in a 29...
I can't find much about these fishes other than that there are a few colour forms. Are they highly aggressive like trifs or more passive like lizzies; i presume they are polgymous but being in their own little complex i'm not sure - when i first saw pictures of them I thought they were...
Ok - i purchased a 15 - i'll setup it up with minimal scape and test it with the ladisalo first (i know a pair formed and maybe they will breed in isolation); so i guess 2 or 3 weeks till i move them and then 2 months of seeing what happens - then the d39 after that or if it turns out to be a...
i wanted to say more here because i often wonder why they didn't eat the frys if there is some secret sauce that allows them to avoid being canibals. I was esp amazed with the ipiranga and was often fearful the 2nd brood would be eaten by the first when feed the fishes since there was a wide gap...
Hum. I wonder. Oh well i'll have to think about this. Throwing a 10 or maybe a 15 on the counter somewhere might be possible short term if that is large enough - problem is they don't even sell 15s any longer.
I can say that both my Bluketa and Ipiranga did not bother with older f1 when brooding a 2nd time - and the older brood did not seem to bother with the frys nor did the frys show much fear around them. The bluketa female would chase the older frys if they got too close to her new brood the first...
Hum. I would have to setup another 10 but i could if nothing else comes up - i am feed them a lot of frozen brine shrimp - I have a floor 20 long that is empty since i hate floor tanks but i could put water in it i guess - just a pain to deal with. I guess if there are no other suggestions i...
I have a group of d39 (pictures shown here:
https://apistogramma.com/forum/threads/d39.29756/
--
I believe at this point they are old enough to breed but have never seen any desire for breeding - my believe is i have 2 solid large males, 2 likely females and 1 maybe female. The aquarium is a 65...
A couple of other interesting tetra I have; not great pictures:
These guys seem to spend a fair amount of time fighting and they spread out across the aquarium - i have two groups of 8ish as they are horribly expensive. I have one group in a 10 with a soft dream they will one day decide to...
