    Need some help setting up

    Thanks, I'll just stick to the borelli for now then. After New Years I'll go to pick them up, I'm so excited! Thanks, Luke

    Need some help setting up

    Question- Do you think that a pair of A. Baenshci would live/reproduce in this tank? I I can always just stick to borelli, but if these guys would do well I find them quite striking. My ph is between 6.5-7.0, btw. With either the borelli or baenschi I would be purchasing pre-bonded pairs, so...

    Need some help setting up

    This is what I've got right now (ignore the floating leaves, I just put them in so they're still a little bouyant): Is this heavy enough cover? I've got 3 pvc pipe caves, a half of a clay pot, a piece of inert porous rock full of caves, and about 5 pieces of driftwood hidden under all those...

    Need some help setting up

    Thanks for the info! Could I see a picture of your smaller breeding tanks if you have one of them? Just looking for ideas on how to make it work. I'm especially interested in the trio in the 10 gallon. Thanks, Luke

    P. Taeniatus tankmates?

    I'll try it to see how it goes, probably. Planning tanks is so hard, but its so much fun!

    P. Taeniatus tankmates?

    Would something like betta simplex work? I could move them if not.

    P. Taeniatus tankmates?

    I have a 29 gallon tank and am for sure going to stock it with 1 pair of Pelvicachromis Taeniatus. Would a single dwarf or regular gourami or Angelfish work in this tank with plenty of hiding places. This tank will be lightly planted. I know some tetras or schoolers might work, but I HATE small...

    Kitty Litter substrate?

    Looks like I will not be doing this, due to mixed reviews on this type of substrate, will go with pool or play sand.

    Kitty Litter substrate?

    I am planning a 29 gallon tank and want to use special kitty kitty litter from Wally World as substrate. Will west African sand sifters have a problem with this? Thanks, Luke

    No babies

    Okay, that makes sense, my city water is on the extreme side of hard so I doubt these type of fish would do well in it.

    Collecting rainwater

    Thanks. Would rainwater be too acidic for pelvicachromis taeniatus? That's what I'm looking at getting.

    P. Taeniatus ID

    OMG beautiful fish, convinced me to open up a spot for them. I hear where the male is coming from, that gold fin on the female even turns me on LOL.

    No babies

    Are the only problems you are seeing with them in the hard water unhatching eggs? It seems as though they are wild caught they would not tolerate the hard water well.
