This behaviour has really is something I (like...
Hi Randall.
Thank you for your quick reply. I'm gald to hear I'm doing things right.

I have had a pair of Taeniatus Dehane for approx. 2 months now. I have been gradually lowering the water softness over this time. It now stands at kh 40 and GH 120.

I do not like using chemicals to alter the water...
Hi Randall,
Thank you for your reply.
I have ordered a pair of Taeniatus Dehane today. They should be with me this time next week. :)
I am in the process of altering the tank for their arrival. The temp. is lowered to 78F, I will add more plants this week.
I was thinking of getting...
Hi,
I live in the UK and have kept many fish over the last 15 years.
I currently have a pair of kribs breeding like rabbits and have got a bit bored of them (no offense) so I was looking into the more difficult to keep/breed Taeniatus.
Can someone provide a link or some info. on the...
