    Java moss works well, but alternativly you could use dwarf riccia, which I use often. Both work well :)

    crazy blue rams

    My tank is pretty happy with my rams in it, and every month i get a batch of eggs. They used to be eaten as most could fungass due to my hard water, with a high pH to match. So I gradually mkae the water perfect for them. Now none of the eggs fungass- but that don;t stop them being eaten by the...

    should males be removed after eggs r layed

    They should do, but seing as it is thier first spawn, they will learn whilst looking after the fry. You can generally keep them with the parents until they are about 5/6mm and begin exploring on thier own, that way the parents will learn to be better ones aswell. Good luck whatever you decide :)

    Kidnapping

    lol thats strange, especially for different species, I would have thought that the females would see other species fry as future competition? My male Cacatuoides occasionally used to steal a few fry from the female and swim away into a corner and look after them for a bit. If the female came...

    My cacs have stopped breeding :(

    well my big guy is currently around 2" ish (and is a pretty big fella), whilst the female is probably at her maximum size. I think in the next month or so I will feed exclusivly live foods, and possibly split them for a bit... perhaps add a new female to see if the female is not the infertile...

    My cacs have stopped breeding :(

    Hey there I have had Apistogramma Cacatuoides for a few years now, every few months producing a few fry, which my LFS gladly takes. Now I have one pair (one male from my first ever spawn and one female I bought a few months back), but for half a year I have had no luck at all. There have been...

    What happened to my fry?

    Probably were eaten by the female. I had this too a while back. I had a batch of about 20 fry, few weeks after they first emerged, she kept trying to force them all into one small shell, whilst she raised more fry, eventually, she ate most of the first batch (I saved only 4 of them) and let her...

    Hi all My big male apistogramma cacatuoides sunburst recently died of old age, leaving his one female partner, now alone in an 80L tank. Six months ago, his original partner died, so I replaced her with his current female, which has produced a couple of spawns over the last few months (now...
