    preparing for new arrivals?

    Should I put them all into one tank? Or separate pairs? all together will be in a 15 gallon, if separating them, I will use several 10 gallons. Other than washing, do those little clay pots need any treatment before going in a tank? Thanks!

    preparing for new arrivals?

    In a couple of weeks I will hopefully be recieving 2 wild ram pairs and an a.hongsloi 1m/2f herem. I have of plenty of 10 gallons, a couple of 15 gallons, and a 20 long available for quarantine and acclimation. They will be spending several months in these smaller tanks while I prepare the 90...

    A. Macmasteri

    Even if I go with the macmasteri, I may still want to get some hongsloi too. When the fry are ready, pm me here, and I'd love to take you up on the offer. I could actually drive to you and save shipping costs. You're about 2 hours away, and I could use the excuse to take off work! It'll be...

    Wild vs. Tank raise for beginner.

    I love the vivid colors of wild caught Mikrogeophagus ramirezi, and may be able to get some. My concern is that I'm a beginner to cichlids. Which would be better to begin with, wild or tank raised rams?

    Reputable dealer in A. Hongsloi

    Indiana Sam, I think you may have been the one to tell me about alloddball aquatics. Eric almost always has agazzis and some german rams, usually gold, sometimes blue. I'm currently waiting for the next batch of blues. The other apistos he carries varies, but he doesn't carry many. The only...

    Reputable dealer in A. Hongsloi

    I'm pretty set on A. Hongsloi, though I have not decided yet if I want type I or III. The problem is I can't find them locally, but I'm leary of spending tons of money to ship fish site unseen. Does anyone know of a reputable US breeder that could be relied on to send healthy, attractive...

    fry eaters and survival

    Is it possible and safe to remove fry after spawing when I want to save some? Or should I just set up a small breeding tank when I need to replenish? How large are typical broods? What to do with them if too many survive would be an issue, there are not many lfs around here that deal in rams...

    fry eaters and survival

    With 2 pairs of blue rams and a 1m/3f herem of A. Hongloi in a heavily planted 90 gallon, what is the likelyhood of fry survival in a tank with about 30cardinal tetra? I know tetra can be fry killers, but cardinals are so small and shy. I don't want to breed large numbers of fry, but I know...

    Hongsloi Spawning media

    I'm only generally familiar with the different ways cichlids and apistos ( by the way, are they the same group, or are apistos not cichlids, I'm still confused on that classification). I intend to prepare some caves, and the 90 gallon tank will be heavily planted. Are hongsloi cave or rock...

    can't find enough info on hongsloi

    excellent, I can't wait to set that tank up. I'm not sure about feeding them though. Right now my tropical communities get flake once daily, frozens like brine shrimp, blood worm, daphnia, and entre mixes. I also give them a few algae tabs with spirulina every few days or a week, as well as...

    can't find enough info on hongsloi

    Thank you so much your quick reply :) I'm glad to know I can safely add them. I think a 1m/3 female will be perfect. Is there a way to disinguish male and female? And at what age will I be able to do so? Also, just curious, what does the F1 designation mean? I've seen it in several posts...

    can't find enough info on hongsloi

    hello, I'm new here, and was hoping to find some infomation. I'm not terribly new to fish, but am soon to make my first attempt at cichlids. I have a few questions first though, I'd like to have all my ducks in a row before I try it out. I have a 90 gallon tank, and was planning on setting...
