    Suitable tank for P.taeniatus biotope?

    Hoo-boy. You HAD to ask. Ah, 36" long for sure. And then like 18" and 16" respectively. I think. Google "aquarium tank sizes" and look for 40g breeder. For some reason, I never knew, 40g breeders seem to be the choice of many aquariests for display tanks. I think it's because the...

    Pelvicachromis taeniatus 'Moliwe cave setup and dither fish

    Submerge the caves a little bit at the door. Like, squiggle down into the substrate so it comes up higher and makes the hole smaller. If the Pelvies don't like it, they'll move the substrate. Oh! Go with Congo tetras! They are gorgeous! I had had 8, but four died, three of which were...

    Pelvicachromis subocellatus

    Well... Don't know. But you can bet I'll find out. And if it's something he's not done, there should be someone in the club that will help him get them there. I'll see what I can do. But have you checked other places? Aquabid? They're not hard to come by.

    Pelvicachromis taeniatus 'Moliwe cave setup and dither fish

    Not like this is going to help now, but... I like putting fish with my Pelvies like they'd find in nature, like the barbs mentioned above. Congo tetras go very well with Pelvicachromis The tetras are all over the place (I've a 4og breeder) and both species totally ignore the other. They are...

    Thanks, Ekona. Too rich for my blood (don't forget shipping) right now and now I have 5 Moliwe. But I appreciate the thought and you telling me about them.

    Passive Pelvichromis Wouri

    After you get them conditioned with food... When a storm front, like thunderstorms, is moving in, do a 50% water change with water that is just a wee wee bit cooler than what's currently in the tank. NOT COLD. Just a tiny bit cooler. This often helps put some fish (cories for one) in the...

    Suitable tank for P.taeniatus biotope?

    I've got a 40g breeder going as a Congo biotope. Ittiz still a work in progress so please keep that in mind. Right now I've got 4 female Congo Tetras (will get some males to beef up the shoal; the ones I had died), some - enough to keep them happy - Up-Side-Down Catfish (S. nigrientris) and...

    Pelvicachromis subocellatus

    Hey, Jim! Nice to see you. Yes, I did. But not from Gary. A guy in my club has some and I got them $5/each. I like my fish small as I like to watch them grow from what they start out as up to what they finally look like. I got five and they're so small I can't tell if they're sardines or...

    Pelvicachromis subocellatus

    Capt. Jim, I think you outbid me on those Moliwes! But then I found a guy here in the Twin Cities that had the subocellatus and they fit the biotope I'm doing better. Gary Haas was selling them - the ones I was bidding on. Funny you should mention the Moliwes. Was looking at them last night...
