These were sold as wc bitaeniata - one of 5 - this one might be a miss or if stuffy Ms.
My understanding is the rio Nanay population is a little less flashy then some of the other populations but of course this is what the seller told the importer so who knows - maybe it is really a bunny from...
This is one of 8 junior tetra i've had for 3 1/2 months and only this one had something weird on its fins - I can't tell when it started but it isn't on the body or body mass just the petral fins which is weird:
My first instinct was it was that contagious stuff and i should catch him and...
I'm trying to figure these guys out (should post a few pictures). I purchased two groups - one from aquaimport that had red tails and one from wetspot which have black tail. Visually they look very fragile with the bodies waving in and out (other species have a more rigid body - i mean the...
So i'm making some assumption that the issue that tank raise fishes have with very acidic water (below 5.5) is the difference in bacteria but my observation seem to be that buying tank raise fishes frequently lead to infant death (first 2 weeks) but wc fishes do fine but conversely putting wc...
Is 78 too cool for very young Dicrossus filamentosus; they are around 3/4 of an inch. I know some fishes breed during warmer times but i can't find a stable # for Dicrossus filamentosus. Some seem to suggest they are blue rams oriented wanting 82 others are even higher with discus around 84 and...
I will have the following available (unless diaster strike) in late sept or early oct:
2 or 3 groups of n. teugelsi (6 to 8 ~ 1/2 inch unsexed)
1 group of e. lucanusi
1 group of kribs (picture of parents attached)
1 pair of a. nijjensi.
When i ship is strictly based on temperatures. I recommend...
Just showing this colour variation. Also noting that unlike the domestic kribs i had these require some bbs for successful fry raising. The domestic ones (simply sold as kribs without a species name) did not require any special feeding:
These are a couple of my nijjensi f1 frys with a few comments (none of hte pictures are very good):
my one sided spot female:
As you can see one side is missing the spot.
This odd duck i swore was a male - it is as large as the largest male (around 2 inches) and originally i moved it to the...
So it was mentioned that at very low ph a different type of bacteria forms to break down ammonia et all but is this something that happens after a few weeks or can it take years ?
My e. Lucanusi spawned last week at some point - i never saw the female disappear for a while as you normally do with dwarf cichild - just one day i started seeing a few frys.
Here is the part that is driving me crazy - i rarely see the fry - usually both parents are up front begging for food...
They sent me this picture of a young male (approx 2 inches); which seems to be a different ?form? ?species? then the ones i have.
This one look really close to the ones on Tom's website:

And this is not a great picture of my male...
One thing i never understood is why everyone reports PH associated with fishes. My crude understanding is PH is a by product of water chemistry and fishes are more concern with water chemistry then the actual PH. Reporting PH constantly leads to confusion with people trying to lower the ph...
Both of these tetra are for sale on Jeff's site but i've never heard of them and can't really find any information on them. I think h. sp macheriche is mispelled but the one site that reference it had an unreliable picture and information:

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 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...
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...
When i click the picture thingy to insert an image like i do on a forum post but in a message to someone i can't actually upload an image i have to post a link.
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...
