Well, my main tank is really starting to develop a lot of snails. They're the trumpets, so they hide out during the day but man, they're all over the place as soon as the lights go out. They seem to be harming the plants a bit. So I think of some loach or another to eat 'em up, but my apistos...
I'm breeding Apisto Trifasciata. I don't breed them intensively, and I generally only get 5-10 adults from a spawn. And it seems I'm getting mostly females. Sometimes I spot fish that look like they're going to go male, but nobody ever seems to color up to male form.

Man, power compact bulbs are expensive. Doing the one 36in bulb for my 30ga is not such a big deal, but trying to get all 4 (or even 2) of the 55watt jobbies for the fixture above my 55ga is painful. The coralife 6700k bulbs are like $40 a shot. Even online it's not much less than at my LFS...

Unfortunately, that statement about sums up what I've heard about it.
Can I get some details from people who have done this? Things like -...
Hey, folks, nice forum you got here, I thought I'd give it a try. <g>
I've read on the krib about someone who set up a super dense community of apistos. (The Krib -> apistogramma and dwarves -> "What tank size (and fish density) is appropriate?" -> at the end) The guy talks about having 15...
