    Fry Predator For P. taeniatus 'Moliwe' Tank

    I find leaving the fry in a the breeding tank a bit too long, water changing and triggering the parents to spawn again and ' hay presto ' all the previous fry just disappear. But personally I would just give a friend a bunch of the fry to raise.

    P. rolofi

    I had an interesting discovery with my P.rolofi. They are very shy and rarely stay out of shelter and never come out and swim around when I'm in the room. The tank is small and has little cover so it's not of any great surprise about their habits. What was a surprise was their choice of...

    looking for info on nannacara adoketa

    I have to agree with you, the Ivanocara adokita are just stunning. They are one of the best patterned fish I have ever set eyes on. If you can get them do so. Mine are not too demanding with food and water conditions and are not shy at all. Here is a couple of pics of them.

    N.anonola

    Thanks Mike, I will be keeping the two colour strains separate. It will be nice to get them both breeding. Hey Rod, The blue girl should be letting fry out any day now. T

    N.anonola

    What do you feed your Apistogramma's?

    I feed two times a day. Earthworm flake in the mornings. The night feeds are a random affair. Each night may be different. Daphnia, brine shrimp, spirulina brine shrimp, rotifers. Fry get two feeds, randomly, Newly hatched brine shrimp, micro worms, daphnia.

    Some fishy pics

    These are the my Pelvicachromis roloffi. Sorry for the soft light pics but these guys still have not settled down and hide when ever you look into the tank.

    Simple fish savers

    Not a problem Ruki, I do the water changes manually with a good old hose. No magic pipes. Filling is from a 1000L tub of rain water with another hose attached to a sump pump. Cheers T

    Simple fish savers

    Mike, I forgot about the ease of sterilizing them. I usually just drop them into boiling water before moving them into a new tank. I also use PVC in all my tanks as well for the same reason. My room isn’t anything exiting. It measures 6m long x 1.7m wide a 1.6m high. The walls and roof are...

    Simple fish savers

    I thought I’d share this idea with everyone. I’ve been using these for years and I know many people who do for the more aggressive cichlid species, but recently a friend saw these in my room and said they’d never seen anyone using them before so they must not be as commonly used as I...

    New to forum

    Welcome to the forum, This is a simplistic account from what I’ve observed but it may help you read the signs. With apistogramma the female will became more aggressive towards the male, most females will also display their breeding colours, mostly differing shades of yellow. She will also...

    Some fishy pics

    Thanks all, the more I watch my Apistos the more I am taken with them. Mike, Thanks for clearing up the rotpunkt. I was looking at rotpunkt and alacrina on the net but a lot of the pics are the same for the two species. I think he's still is a stunner under any name and very happy to have him...
