Hi all,
I keep 5 Copella Arnoldi as dither fish in my community tank. I have acquired this species since the beginning of November. Although never my intent, this species seems to love my tank and is constantly laying eggs against the lid. The eggs are fertilised as baby fish can be seen when...
Currently I am entitled to keep two amazing species of Apistogramma. I would like to share these amazing fish with you :)
My first species is the Apistogramma sp. D10. I’ve kept these species for over a year now. I’ve spotted the female with eggs a several times but they never made it to a fry...
I have been thinking about buying 6 of these. They will live in my 60x40x60cm tank with 6 nannostomus eques and a pair of Apistogramma sp. D10. Would my tank be big enough to house these fish or would they need a bigger tank?
Hi all,
Recently i've acquired a pair of Apistogramma Megaptera F1. I was wondering if anyone knows if they are found with some small dither fish in the wild? The article that describes the Apistogramma Megaptera is in spanish, and sadly i can't read any spanish at all. I've try to scan through...
Hi all,
I hope somebody can help me out. I am thinking about buying a new LED light for my fish tank. I can choose different light temperatures. I am in doubt between 6500K or 5700K. What do you think would represent the best lightning colour for my Apistogramma's?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
In January i've acquired a pair of Apistogramma sp. Schwarzkehl for Roland Kipper. I was wondering, if any one had experience with their growth? I've a feeling mine are growing quite slowly and i don't know why. The temp is set at 24-25 degrees celcius, i do weekly water changes ranging...
HI guys,
I was thinking about the following idea. As most of us have experienced that when we do a waterchange, we get increased spawning activity of our Apisto's. This could either be because they finally get some decent water, although i am quite sure we all maintain our tanks the best we...
Dear all,
I have been thinking about creating a biotope arround the Apistogramma sp. Schwarzkehl. By making use of gbif.org I found possible tank mates. From Tom C his website i know that they come from small clearwater streams with sandy to rocky bottoms. Now I was hoping that some one could...
I am kinda wondering what you guys think about this. We try to immitate the natural environment of the fish by adding dead leaves, drift wood and such type of things. But do you guys also care about the fact that your plants are only from South America? I mean i like sword plants and use them...
Recently i was able to lay my hands on a couple of Apistogramma Sp. D33 that i would like to share with you guys. Thus far they are in my tank for about 2 weeks and doing great :) See some pictures below.
Hi guys,
I would like to introduce you to my South American Peru tank. The tank is a Juwel Lido 120 (60x40x60cm) with an external eheim pro 150 filter and a 100watt heater.
The tank contains the following fish:
- 6 Nannostomus Eques
- 4 Copella Neitereri
- 1m/1fm Apistogramma Eremnopyge...
Hey guys,
I would like some advice on my thoughts.
Currently i own 2 tanks. A 120L tank (60x40x60cm) and a 60L tank (60x30x36cm). I am thinking about replacing these two tanks by 1 bigger tank of 300L (120x50x60cm). Both my current tanks are able to house 1 pair of Apisto's each, so now i can...
I would like to introduce you all to my 60L Amazone tank.
It's an ADA cube garden 60p (60x30x36cm) containing about 60L.
For the lights i have used the Dennerle scapers led 24W and a heater of 50W.
The filtration is done by an JBL e401 cannister filter.
Currently the tanks looks like this...
Hi Guys!
I currently have a young pair of Apistogramma Eremnopyge that still need to mature some more and colour up some more. Now i am quite doubting about the diet i feed them. I feed frozen artemia (brine shrimp) and frozen " bosmiden" and some granulates from dennerle. I am in doubt wheter...
Hey Guys,
Soon i will be setting up my 60x40x60cm (120L) tank. The tank will contain a group of about 15 nannostomus eques. Now i was wondering about putting some rams in with them. What amount of rams would be appropriate in this tank?
- 1 pair
- 1 male and 2 female
- 2 pairs
The tank will be...
Hey Guys!
Due to the fact i am moving soon i will probably have to leave behind my 60x40x60cm tank and i will only have my 60x30x36cm tank. The 60x30x36cm is currently empty and needs to be setup again. Now i am stuck with the following problems.
I currently own two shoals a shoal of 10...
Please help me guys.
I have a 60 liter tank (60x30x36cm) with a 24W LED light. It should be a amazone biotope but currently it's more like a blue algae farm. The light are only on for 8 hours a day. There is peat in the filter and some dead leaves in the tank so i do have tannings. There are...
Hey everyone!
I am actually curious about what you all think would be a real "Apistoheaven" and by this i mean the best tank you could imagine for our little apisto's :) Ofcourse we all know how the "perfect" tank should look like. Lot's of woods, lots of hiding places, lot's of sightline...
I am thinking about purchasing a pair of dicrossus maculatus for my black water tank.
The problem is i am not so sure about what size tank they need. On the internet i find that a 60x30x36cm tank (which i have) should be enough. I am still doubting it though. They pair i found to purchase has...
I currently own a really nice pair of the lovely Apistogramma ortegai. I am trying to find information as in how their biotope would look like. Sadly i can't find any information on their catch location or on there biotope. All the information is welcome.
