I have a 20L which I want to use for breeding apisto Borelli yellow, I have just removed a 5" plec as it was destroying my plants but still have one Siamese algae eater and one cory catfish in there which I want to keep as they are cute and have become best buddies following each other around...
OK thanks....I don't have any interest in breeding them so I'll go for two males and 3 females to make 6 total....two different species for more color....
Thanks.
I had a male and female apisto in my 20g long, a while ago my male died leaving me with just a female so I am wanting to restock, the tank is heavily planted so am I able to have two males and 4 females comprising of two different species in a tank of this size please?
I have an apistogramma with hole in the head disease for which he is being treated, he seems to be doing ok now and is eating very well, my question is since I suspect he will always have a scar on his head, how will I know when to stop treatment?.....how will I know when he is actually cured...
I am adding nutrients to my tank for the plants but in doing so I get algae growth, I am told to do water changes to keep nutrients and in turn algae down but then my plants aren't getting nutrients?

I was rummaging through my tool box and came across a 5/8 masonary bit which got me thinking maybe I could use it to bore a hole in a flower pot that an apistogramma may use as a cave to spawn in?.....how large a hole does she need to get through and do her business?

I have set the sponge up with the small air pump in the corner of my 55g functioning as a filter, I am currently building a stand for the new 20g so the sponge can 'cycle' while I am putting that together which will probably be about 3 weeks due to time constraints.
Thanks for the tip Gerald.

Thanks Darrel
As its going to be a breeder tank I am going bare bottom, although I will put as much java moss in as I can grow lol.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know it could get so involved, a very interesting hobby.

I am setting up a 20g long for breeding purposes and have just placed a sponge filter in my 55G to mature while I build a stand for the new tank, how long do you think it will take for the sponge to cycle so I can place it in my tank and add the new parent fish immediately?
Neil.
I found all the answeres, thanks Mike....
but what size tank will I need to put a male and two females in for breeding purposes?
can I get away with a standard 10g or do I need a 20g or larger?
Neil.
I set up a community tank in January and as things are going really well for me with my plants thriving and healthy fish, I would like to set up a tank to breed Apistogramma, now my question is can I leave the parents in the tank after the eggs are layed, will the parents eat the fry, do I need...
