When searing for something else i found this post from last year:
https://www.instagram.com/kevins.flossengenossen/p/DJJ_5BKoytl/?img_index=1
They describe it as a new species sp trombetas #3 but i don't see reference to it on Tom's website so i'm curious if it was a known species under a...
I'm leaning towards this being a female from the first two pictures but then i look at the third and i blink:
It has a soft pattern on the tail and it lacks the vertical bars the obvious male has (my male has not developed red tail like some pictures i've seen).
These fishes were sold as a. sp ladislao; they were originally in another aquarium and i moved them to a 29 with some n. marlyn dithers about 6 months ago. as far as I can tell they are full grown but have shown no interest in spawning. Looking through pictures on Tom's website i'm not even sure...
This is from a video i was watching - it was not the subject so was never in focus; the fins look different than most pencil and tetra i've seen. It looks slightly similar to white cloud but again a little different.
maybe tanichthys flavianalis?
I've had the male since Nov 2022 and he was a young adult so i guess he is around 24 to 34 months old:
The female had a recent spawn - 2 or 3 weeks ago. The aquarium is 100 gallons (24x48); there are a few f1s in there of various age and size. She has a 'favorite' spot so when i upgraded the...
As i mentioned a bit back my a. sp ipiranga finally bred after a year+; for some reason at least by the time i noticed them the frys were a lot larger than other species (such as winkelfleck); is this due to mouth brooding; does the mother somehow feed the frys or just a characterisitic of this...
Are these a more aggressive or more passive species and cooler or warmer waters ? My limited research suggest they would want 80ish temp based on the river water temp; but tom's website has 78 in one location and 75 in another. Nothing on aggression; he mentioned it similar to cockatoo and...
As far as I can tell my a. sp ipiranga have formed strong pairs in that the male will not entertain other females. Is this a known behavior of all mouth brooders, of just ipiranga or my imagination.
Obviously i can't know if the pair forming behavior is temporary though i do know that the male...
I have a 29 with a pair of nijjensi (wc) and keri tetra. The general advice is to avoid cardinals since they will go after frys and cause a lot of stress. The reason for this post is that the keri do not seem to go after the frys nor does the female spend much time mucking with them.
For those...
In theory I picked up 6 young D39 and put them in a 29:
My wild inaccurate guess is these two are females
this picture is for @Mazan who will understand it:
I don't have any good pictures of the other 3 but will work on them - i think they are likely too young to sex at this point. Also...
I picked up a group of these and they are in that 1.5 inch range with one smaller one closer to 1.2 inches (group of 6):
This is the smallest one; at what point will they be sexable typically - if you have kept them; a google search suggest they aren't really sexable other than males being a...
So i picked up a pair of very young niijjensi 2 of 3 weeks ago - they are about 4/9 to 1/2 full grown and i noticed one odd thing - the male colouring is wrong:
I didn't buy them to breed and i wish my other fishes would breed but because the others won't breed these guys quickly...
A couple of my aquarium have higher ec than expected and i'm trying to figure out why.
One of them has an ec of around 55 and ph around 6.8; i did an api test this morning and gh was around 3 and kh was below 1; i had presumed that if rock or substrate leached it would be kh and not gh; but...
I'm upgrading my winkelfleck aquarium from 29 to 100 (48x24) and wanted some feedback on if it is feasible to mix these two species in an aquarium of that size. My understanding is that both species are relatively peaceful and they are in different complex so cross breeding shouldn't be an...
Here are two of my aquariums - feel free to tell me they are not done correctly:
40b
--
This aquarium has 2 male a. sp ladislo and 4 or 5 females. the dithers are kubotai rasbora and a few very young swordtails which i hope to remove soon. There are two dominant females one on the right and one...
My male a. wolli has an issue - i believe he has had this issue since purchase mid july 2024 but i didn't put all the pieces together earlier. Basically he can't swim - when he swim he goes in a spiral - the issue has gotten worse over time and he is also suffering from lack of food since he has...
My male a. sp winkelfleck has had popeye for a while (6? months) but it has gotten noticeably worse and i'm trying to decide if should treat it or just let leave it be.
The aquarium is a 29 parameters are 0 measurable all (nitrate, nitrite, ...) the fish was sold as wc; i received it around Dec...
Recently several sites have been advertising a. nijjsseni rio tigre (cz bred) for 2x 'regular' nijsseni.
I had presume it was just a marketing crap to double the price on these cz fishes (i.e, if the simple name doesn't work add a few rivers).
My question are there actually different catch...
So.... i made a perhaps what should have been obvious discovery during today's water change.
My technique has a 40 foot python (brand) hose connected to a faucet that can reach all the aquariums in the room. For the first aquarium when i did the water change i took a cup of water and measured...
My a. ladisalo don't seem to want to breed so i was wondering if anyone has been successful and if there is some trick. I presume they are a blackwater fish and temp should be around 76-77.
I have two groups - one is a male/female in a 29 - in that aquarium i ahve some m. egregius frys in a...
