    laetacara dorsigera not eating really

    I bought three dorsigera for my 30 gallon and so far so, ok. There are two juveniles, one i hope will be female and a large definite male. The large male is a worry as he is not eating bloodworms and is very uninterested come feeding time, this is the opposite behaviour to the juveniles. I have...

    stumpy body shape on male caca, interested to hear opinion

    i think he looks like hes trying to be a bolivian ram.Id like to add there is nothing weak about his behaviour, he is inquisative and agile, more so than the other caca males i have seen. I must admit that I did have a panic early on believing that because i had no moss i needed to cultivate...

    interested in ivanacara adoteka but two males might be a problem? .

    There are some juvenile adoteka for sale online but they are expensive @ 25 pounds for two. I do not have alot of space, just 34 gallons 3ft by 1ft and cannot afford to buy several and wait for a pairing. Am I right in predicting that i am likely to get two males if i gamble? I desperately want...

    stumpy body shape on male caca, interested to hear opinion

    stumpy body shape on male caca, interested to hear opinion

    i raised this male from fry and have always wondered about his stocky, muscular body shape. his father was the usual long shape and he was triple red. the mother was sold as triple red female and did not have any similar shape from comparison. this stocky male was the dominant fish out of the...

    juvenile cacatuoides growth

    yeah thanks im a big fan of chaotic jungle tanks because the fish behave naturally. the less fish you see, the better, i mean if you look outside on your garden and you see a fox an owl, a badger, a deer and all the morning birds yould think that you were on something.

    male cacatuiodes siblings.

    i have 5 cacas from a brood and have a 3 females (? sneakers maybe) and two males. I was wondering about compatability for the 2 males in a fairly complex 30 gallon (120cm long 40cm wide). at the moment they chase away but neither is sulking. would they just turn murderous later or because they...

    thanks again, i may have been wrong about its age, it could be up to 3months old. ps I think you should write a book with all your answers. your the only source of info, i cant find anything anywhere that goes beyond the basics of cacatuoides breeding. I would donate but I need a...

    swim bladder genetic?

    local fish store so i dont know, but he does have a deformed mouth, i thought that he had been in a fight. ****, i hope the mother has enough good in her to carry some through. It must be inbreeding and I went to the trouble of mixing the couple because im aware that when you buy a couple from a...

    cacautoides v bolivian rams

    Incase anybody searches this thread I thought I should add that I have now experienced problems. The female caca began displaying to the male. He then in turn started to threaten the ram by swimming close to him all the time, the ram over powered the male caca after the strangest display of fish...

Is there any advice to stall aggression until i get them large enough to sell on? or should i just let them fight it...
