    A. sp. 'Pebas'?

    Mike, Thanks for the info. It looks like the mystery is solved. The female in brood color has only one lateral spot and a wedge shaped caudal spot matching that of Papagei. Although the male is alot less yellow and displays a light gray to white flanks and has a more rusty red coloration on the...

    Apistogramma trifasciata

    Shrimp wouldn't be the best choice. If they are too small they become a pretty expensive snack if they are too big they could and probably will grab and eat fry.

    Apistogramma trifasciata

    I believe apple snails will eat the eggs if they can get to them. Have you thought about one of pygmy cory species? The clean up pretty well and are too small to be a threat to eggs and fry.

    Sex ratio of Dicrossus filamentosus

    I'm sure they would be fine. Just because they will harem spawn doesn't necessarily mean they have too. By the way you will most likely have to hatch them artificially, Filamentosus are known to be terrible parents. Also I may be wrong but think the eggs are light sensitive requiring as...

    A. sp. 'Pebas'?

    I have a couple questions, I bought the same fish from the same store at about the same time as dread did and they were being sold as Galaxis and I know that Galaxis can be several different species. So I was wondering what features can help tell what species they are? I don't know if it helps...

    Help ID A.sp.Abacaxis: A227 or A228?

    Crossing the two forms will only generate offspring of both forms and possibly a new color form, but since they are the same species there is no hybridization. I doubt the crossings happen in nature, as most differences are regional variations.

    Sex ratio of Dicrossus filamentosus

    Like I said that was just my experience with them, it may have been just those fish. If you have a female and there is no aggression so far they may be fine, but I personally would trade the female for a male. I think that the females are just a little too plain for a display tank. It really...

    Sex ratio of Dicrossus filamentosus

    If you aren't looking to breed themyou could just keep a group of males, in my expeirience they tend to be quite aggressive when there were females in the mix. I had placed a small groug in a 55 gal so the could pair off themselves and I would find one or two dead every day. So finally I got...

    Teleocichla Monogramma

    The only info I can find says they live in warm fast flowing water, so I was thinking that I would use a custom 45 gal(48x18x12) and use some large rocks, driftwood, and a sand/gravel mix for substrate. I was also thinking in order to keep the river effect I would place two sponge filters...

    Teleocichla Monogramma

    A store near me has quite a few Teleocichla monogramma and this is the first time I have seen them and would like to pick up a pair, but I cannot find much info on where they come from or spawning information. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

    heres what i`ve got in my tank.

    Yellow Labs being herbivores and diggers would eliminate the possibility of providing dense plant cover for the other fish leaving only any caves created by rocks or wood which the Labs will not give up without a fight.

    The other halfs, wives,partners and girlfriends...

    When my wife and I got together ten years ago she had asked me to stop doing things that could injur me. So jumping dirt bikes, skateboards etc. had to stop along with the mma. I had always had one or two tanks running, but with the loss of the other hobbies my aquarium hobby exploded. Now...

    Need help with Biotoecus

    I got the from Fishfarm in Feb. and at that time they were about an inch long now the male is about two inches and the females are about and inch and a half long. I have about three quarters of an inch of play sand for substrate with pieces of flower pot partially buried in the sand. They don't...

    Need help with Biotoecus

    I have been trying for some time now to get my trio of Biotoecus Opercularis to spawn and so far nothing. The water is R.O. filtered through peat with a ph between 5-5.5, they are being fed live mosquito larva, cyclops, daphnia and frozen bloodworm alternated every couple of days. The temp is 78...

    Orange Flash Cacatuoides

    I wouldn't worry too much about your ph. I have kept and spawned tank strains of Cacatuoides in a wide range of ph levels and have gotten quite large and healthy spawns up to 8.2. There are quite a few breeders that do absolutely nothing to soften their tap water when breeding aquarium strains...

    Could it be true???

    I think I am going to try to find the Tapajos too. Also is there any info on Dicentrarchus in books or on the net.

    Could it be true???

    Interesting they look similar to opercularis with the exception of some coloring and look a bit slimmer. Needless to say I just have to find a source.
