    What are they eating?

    how to deworm wild caught discus

    Look pretty nice to me, I’d be moving them to their forever home. *should something go sideways, medicate for 175ish gallons (72x24x24 = 180 gallons)

    Apistogramma viejita

    Actual A viejita, or A macmasteri “trade viejita”? A pic is probably worth a thousand words

    Fry Not Eating

    Non eating, belly dragging, I’d say you’re probably right.

    Weird breeding behavior.

    Yeah. Been there, done that. In my experience, it usually comes down to one of two things. 1) male didn’t do his job (very infrequent ime) 2) conditions that are conducive to incubating eggs (bacterial/fungal loads or water parameters (inappropriate pH/tds). 2 is usually the culprit. After the...

    Weird breeding behavior.

    Short answer probably sounds something like mama knows best. There’s probably something wrong that she gets, that we don’t.

    pH probe keeps drying out

    My probes (Milwaukee/Bluelab)live in the mixing tubs 24/7. On avg they last about 36 months before I’ll start to encounter calibrations errors.

    Fry With Lots Of Leaf Litter

    You’re more committed than I. Similar breeding strategy, lots of leaves at times. I take the slightly lazier approach. Fry stay with the folks until they lose interest. Fry stay in the tank, parents get moved. I wouldn’t worry. She’ll keep them rounded up, or they’ll be safely hiding amongst...

    Female Apisto Aggression

    Center, right, left. If we’re going to try and keep 3 territorial cichlids, we need at least 3 distinct territories. Everybody’s gotta have a “home”

    Female Apisto Aggression

    Might be a tough row to hoe as wide open as it is.

    Female Apisto Aggression

    Cichlids are territorial, female cichlids that are motivated are downright terrorists. If your 16 is large enough (footprint), say 36x12 and structured in a way that their are places to hide, everyone probably survives (until there are babies).

    M or F Hongsloi?

    I’d be amazed if this wasn’t two males. While this isn’t a fish I’ve bred a ton, I’ve never had a female display that much color.

    help needed with ivanacara spawn.

    PH? In my experience, I could get Ivanacara eggs to hatch at 95% without RO (us/cm 70-120) if the pH was 5.5 or lower.

    Ram sexing?

    I’d imagine all Apistogramma are capable of changing sexes. I once had a female agassizii decide to become male and raise a batch of fry with one of her daughters. It was fun trying to explain that the father, and the grandmother were the same fish

    Ram sexing?

    Bawhahaha…..this is an Apistogramma site, males usually don’t, but some fish that are males have laid eggs

    Apistogramma identification guide?

    Yeah, that. ^^^ CA1, and CA2 Romer, are probably as good as it’s going to get for stateside availability, even if they are dated. Tomc.no is pretty incredible in breadth, but not really a guide per se.

    how to deworm wild caught discus

    My big concern when importing “delicate/blackwater” fish was always columnaris. For a blackwater fish with a “lazy” immune system, the bacterial loads of life in a glass box can be difficult to adjust to. I’d go pretty nuclear at the first signs of fin deterioration (PP/Salt/RO). By the time the...

    Hello from Jacksonville FL

    Welcome! 100% not borellii with that caudal spot. regani-ish, maybe eunotus/eunotus adjacent with those bars that appear to be split. Curious to see what Mike and Frank have to say.
