    Apistogramma flabellicauda breathing heavily

    Yes it is a bummer really. Would you have a clue what I did wrong? Or is it just a case of bad luck. I am getting new ones but they are much smaller and these were really nice specimens.

    Apistogramma flabellicauda breathing heavily

    That probably wasn’t the problem here. The hobbyist I got them from says that the same species of fish from his tank so the brothers and sister and parents aren’t doing so well either. I will probably be getting new ones from him. Also I think that a cardinal or pencilfish might be even more...

    Apistogramma flabellicauda breathing heavily

    Male died cardinals are doing fine. I looked at the male I couldn’t see anything on the oudside of the male.

    Apistogramma flabellicauda breathing heavily

    Now the male is going to die too I think. Hadn’t seen him in days then just now I saw him. Breathing really heavily and I think I can see some fungi not sure. But I am really worried the other fish might get the fungi for now they seem to do just fine. I’ll try and make a picture. But I am...

    Apistogramma flabellicauda breathing heavily

    Now that I am looking at the male I don't think that he is breathing too heavily I will sent a video to make sure but I guess these kind of things can happen when adding new fish and dwarf chiclids might be even more vulnerable for this. I will keep a close eye on them.

    Apistogramma flabellicauda breathing heavily

    Well I do not know the loss of appetite with the female since she was only in the tank for a week so she wasn’t eating big time from the start. But otherwise the other fish eat good.

    Apistogramma flabellicauda breathing heavily

    I add about 15 leaves a month throughout the weeks in a 200 L tank so not to much. I wouldn’t know what it is I could try to take a video and see if y’all would think that the fish are breathing heavily.

    Apistogramma flabellicauda breathing heavily

    They aren’t grasping for air certainly not. I would say that the male is breathing heavily but nothing more than that. But they might be breathing faster dan usual. But especially with the cardinals it’s hard to see if they breathe heavily because of their smaller size. But you are right it...

    It might just be some bad luck.

    Apistogramma flabellicauda breathing heavily

    My apistogramma came from Ernst van Genne a hobbyist in the Netherlands so I did not quarantine. But the other fish seem fine. I will keep to take a close look at them. No2 and NH3 and 4 are 0, temperature about 25°c so nothing wrong there. But if the O2 parameter is to low wouldn’t the...

    Good book?

    Oke. It is a annoying that it is almost impossible to get the Die Buntbarsche Amerikas 2 - Apistogramma & Co. The same for CA 1 and 2.

    Good book?

    Hello, I've been looking for some books on apistogramma's for quite some time now. Now I can get the book of koslowski Die Buntbarsche der Neuen Welt - Zwergcichliden. For 10 euro incl shipping is this book any good or should I just wait until Die Buntbarsche Amerikas Band 2: Apistogramma & Co...

    Dicrossus Gladicauda

    But talking about the fish probably the only thing I could do is buy some and grow them out. But I am not sure if I will by some. I am looking for some good apistogramma or a certain couple of C.Regani.

    Dicrossus Gladicauda

    Interesting this could cause an species to get endangered right? If they can bypass controls that easy.

    Dicrossus Gladicauda

    Utaka usually doesn’t by from Ruinemans since they are to expensive. But could be from same exporter also the ruinemans ones are also 3 cm.

    Dicrossus Gladicauda

    But then they are D.gladicauda or D.filamentosus (Rio negro) I will ask if they are from Rio Atabapo.
