    Help me (cloudy eyes)

    Looking at the list of ingredients on Soilent Green vs say Frozen glasworms - I thought you meant it's much better. I do apologize if I misunderstood as English is not my first language and some expressions I would understand completely opposite of what they actually mean. At the moment I will...

    Help me (cloudy eyes)

    A week later and his eyes got better, one is still cloudy but the other has cleared. I have not done anything except changed their diet on full Repashy with Igapo Explorer & Community plus additional to Soilent Green. I am now guessing it could have been something in the water which escaped me...

    Help me (cloudy eyes)

    Yes I was expecting at least some changes after 3 years not so soon. Ah well, I have ordered some more types of Repashy and some canned food from Aquarium systems to help the old man stay fit as long as possible.

    Help me (cloudy eyes)

    I don't see white on the gills but not sure as he doesnt sit still for photos and comes up to the top when I go there - I can't see well from underneath him. I tried taking some more photos with a bit better lighting Water is pH 7.4 temp is 25 , no ammonia no nitrites and nitrates around 30 I...

    Help me (cloudy eyes)

    Hello all, Do you know what is happening with my Apistogramma cacatuoides eyes? It first appeared on one eye a slight cloudiness, and it seemed to bother him quite a bit because he kept trying to rub it off (he was flashing on that side) It grew and developed more in the last few months now...

    Golden Wonder Panchax potential tank mates?

    Wanted to give an update on this: the tank at the store had indeed very large fish, but there was a few dead ones and I did trust not purchase from that tank in the end. I ended up adding 3 beckfordi pencilfish, and 6 zebra otos since then, Mr.Nasty was not bothered to chase anyone longer than...

    Golden Wonder Panchax potential tank mates?

    Mr Nasty is already by himself due to his tendencies of treating his kids as food. Unfortunately while I "designed" the layout I wedged three pieces of wood together in such a way that unless I take the whole setup apart they can't be rearranged. To top that I superglued the plants on them so I...

    Golden Wonder Panchax potential tank mates?

    Thanks for the reply Mike. I tried to reintroduce him after the female died to the tank with the fry after a few weeks and he calmly went about and ate a fry like they weren't his own off springs, so thats showed me he has definitely intentions of consuming anything that fits in his mouth. I...

    Golden Wonder Panchax potential tank mates?

    Hello, I am still in search for some tank mates for my 9 months old Cacatuoides male. He's living on his own in a 70L tank which was set up around him, there are plants and leaf litter and driftwood in the tank as well. The issue is, he is largeish now (about 8cm) and very confident that the...

    Juvenile female with eggs?

    Thanks! I dont know if it helped but both parents were left with the fry and the father was more involved with looking after them than I expected. I felt like every fry the mother missed when they ventured towards the filter the father caught so really much more of them could have survived if it...

    Juvenile female with eggs?

    It's just them and 3 other much smaller fry from the same batch which I dont think they'll be able to eay the new fry if they do spawn. More likely the new parents will attack these late blooming brothers. I still hope they are just adolescents playing as they're super small still.

    Juvenile female with eggs?

    Thanks Mike, just needed reassurance that they can start courting even before they are ready. Nature will have to take its course if it happens but fingers crossed they are just acting on their instincts but they are too young.

    Juvenile female with eggs?

    Hi all, I am after a bit of help again. So my (6 that survived) fry which I first saw out swimming are on 10th July are growing slowly in the old 64L tank. Three of them (males) are still very small at around 1cm but the other three are 1.5cm two females and about 2cm one male. I am waiting...

    Signs of low oxygen levels at night?

    Amazing thank you so much for the detailed explanation, I can happily add the hornwort then.

    Signs of low oxygen levels at night?

    Thank you very much Darrel, thats relieving to hear. Can plants actually reach a stage where they deplete the oxygen enough to be worrying for livestock during the night? I am only asking as I would love to add some hornwort too but I was holding from doing so as I was concerned for the fish.

    Signs of low oxygen levels at night?

    Hi all, I have a question regarding potentially low oxygen levels at night. I am a little bit concerned about this because I am planning to add more fish and don't want them to be uncomfortable or suffer from hypoxia during night time. I have recently (about a month) set up this 70L tank with...

    Cacatuoides fry alert - please advise

    Hi all, I wanted to provide you with an update and to thank you for helping me with the fry and other numerous noobie questions. The six fry which have survived the ammonia spike caused by me overfeeding & a dieying filter have grown and are now over 2 months, starting to colour up. I...
