    Does anyone know the identification of my agassizii

    What does the “cf” and “sp” mean/stand for?

    Normal Male Behavior?

    I agree. I just wish I knew what was going on with them. The females are doing great!

    Normal Male Behavior?

    The other male has been gone, and died within a week of moving him to another tank. Same behavior pattern.

    Normal Male Behavior?

    Well, now he’s hanging out at the top of the water with a slight lean.

    Normal Male Behavior?

    When I had just 2 male a. Cacatuoides in my 75 gallon, they were always out and about together. When I added leaf litter and then 2 females, the males would chase the females around here and there, but business as usual. I now just have 1 male in the tank with the 2 females (and rasbora and...

    Snail Problem

    Thanks, I will try that too!

    Snail Problem

    Thanks, I will do that. Did the same in my 15 a while back and solved the problem. There weren’t as many though. I did have some snails before the leaves were added, but nothing like the population today.

    Snail Problem

    What began as 1 or 2 snails likely brought in through plants is now turning into way more than I’d like in my 75 gallon. Anyone have any tips on how to get rid of them? I don’t mind a few snails here and there but I fear before long they’ll be literally everywhere. You can see a pic of just one...

    Tank full of brooding color females

    I have a female a. Agassizii that is only accompanied by a yellow panchax and a few ottos and is almost always a pretty yellow. Is this natural, or could she be calling out? :D

    Maintaining Tannin Tint

    Thanks guys. I just added 3 more to make 6 and we’ll reevaluate after a day.

    Maintaining Tannin Tint

    Thanks Darrel. Here’s what I got, but it does not say the species. I will look at your link as well.

    Maintaining Tannin Tint

    Alder cones just came in the mail. I had no idea how small they were! Just added 3 to the filter media bag of my 75. We’ll see how it looks tomorrow.

    Maintaining Tannin Tint

    Thank Mike. I will avoid that route and am considering changing my tactic to use my 15 gallon for the breeding part, and buying a few gallons of distilled water each week to cut the tap.

    Maintaining Tannin Tint

    Disregard, seems like a bad idea. But then how would rain water be any different?

    Maintaining Tannin Tint

    What if I ran the dehumidifier outside for RO water?

    Maintaining Tannin Tint

    Darn, I thought that could be my easy way of getting RO water. As always, thank you for the advice.

    Maintaining Tannin Tint

    Thanks for the advice. Just curious...why the extra steps of soaking the cones overnight vs just putting a couple in your tank? Also, if I were to use a dehumidifier to get RO water, how long can I keep that water before it gets funky or advisable not to put in an aquarium? Any special way to...

    Maintaining Tannin Tint

    As I do my weekly water changes, the tint from the tannins release by my Mongolia leaves fades more and more. What’s the solution for maintaining the tint? I can’t see adding more leaves every water change as being sustainable...perhaps getting alder cones and changing one out every water...
