    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    While I do not necessarily disagree with your statement I would like to offer a counterargument, mostly for the sake of it but I do also disagree with a few of your conclusions. One can argue that we have in fact done the animal a favor even if providing a diminished lifespan and health, Fish in...

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    Well by now I think alot less of Aquarium Co-op, but I'll still watch their videos, just a reason to be more skeptical. I feel that Im often too trusting, but at least im smart enough to realise the need for skepticism when there is a deserved reason.

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    the way I see it borellii and Hillstream loaches probably could get along in a tank, but with a bit more foresight I think it would have to be very carefully put together, I think its best to think of fishes needs as a spectrum, with biotopes at the habitable end, and as you go further right it...

    Thinking of German Rams would like more knowledge

    Thats why I always take my plans to forums, Only the most well thought out ones survive scrutiny, especially in Apisto.com, My Borellii would be dead from overcompensation if this forum didn't bring my painc back down to earth.

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    I never really considered that breeding is not necessarily a sign of good conditions, now that I think about it that makes sense, When I first acquired an interest in a hobby it was mostly through reading fishkeeping books, mainly one that I still have on my bookshelf (though Its been collecting...

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    I have experience with Sewellia and as mentioned in the video that started this whole thread, Don't actually need that much flow (Lowell BRED THEM with sponge filters) They don't need that high flow you mentioned, they only really seem to need lots of Oxygen, thats why Im thinking about it right...

    Hillstream Loaches And Breeding

    Im just wondering about the viability of putting a hillstream loach in a breeding tank, mostly due to the video ''How I bred Reticulated Hillstream Loaches at home'' at the time stamp 6:43 he mentions them being Fry safe, along side video footage of them Not eating a fry Infront of them. So I...

    Breeding Apistos, Questions.

    Honestly personally I hate dry foods, really just using as a talking point, From experience when I buy dry food It almost always is either. To big for my fish to eat, (My Hikari Cichlid Pellets are literally the size of the females head (useless) Not liked by my fish (again with my borellii...

    Breeding Apistos, Questions.

    So From what I have heard fry need movement to trigger feeding, i,e Frozen BBS can't work, is this true? Apisto Fry do seem to eat fry powder and that doesn't move much. Secondly, I did a retake and as it turns out when I first used the test strip I read it incorrectly, just basic reasarch on...
