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.
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...
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...
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...
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 -...
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...
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...
I did the 6th dip this morning and returned her to the tank - i think she is better but really hard to tell as it will take 6 months for the damage area to regrow if ever; i took a lot of pictures both top and side but these are the only two worth showing. If she comes to the font of the tank...
Others can give you a better answer - when i had a group i really couldn't tell diddly till they reached sexual maturity and the males really shined. That was around 3 inches and a bit which is near 8 cm but others might be a lot more clever than myself after all i'm only a newbie.
Did dip 2 and 3 can't really tell if she is better but i also gave her a water change. I think after dip 6 thursday morning i will return her to the aquarium since she is stress as stress can be but will post an updated picture. The area that was infected appears more white so maybe that is a...
Given their large size i would recommend a 40B in usa. I have a pair of males for a couple of years now in my discus aquarium which is 72x24 and they can cover the territory pretty quickly. That doesn't mean a 20 long isn't fine - having said that i'm not beyond putting a 3 inch fish in a 10 so...
I don't feel like starting a new thread so i'll just post it here in case it interest someone:
I did the dip #1 today and she is quite pale which i suppose is expected - for somewhere between 24 and 28 seconds. I then was looking a couple of aquariums and noticed this mess:
Now I thought...
I have a sand soil mix and i just set them on top - or a few roots gently pushed in to keep them stable - then i use a mister but one could put a jar over them and set them inside in an area with a little but not too much sun. the key thing is to keep them moist.
Ok much to my surprise she let me net her though she is really pissed off right now. she is in a 5 gallon pail with approx 3 1/2 gallon of water. Tomorrow i will mix up 1 1/4 cup of tablet salt with approx 2 1/2 to 3 gallons of water (the water quantity won't be exact as i don't have a way to...
