I am in Hawaii, so trying my first time ordering online at Dan's Fish. I hope this will be a happy good experience, shipping and permitting was $$$. They seem like a good group and have helped me along the way so far :) Thanks for letting me know, where are you? I can get reg. Borelli here, but...
I have been trying to locate a male Borelli "opal" I see blue, yellow head, and opal. I was told a shop could get me a "reg" but the opals have not been available for some time. I see this too when I look online, most say "out of stock" Is there such a thing as "regular" ????? And what is that...
Thanks, I get it :) AND SO TRUE :) I wish I could remember who was commenting on kind of a general rule of thumb for behaviors. It seemed the certain groups were more prone to higher levels of aggression than others. I do remember that the Borellii were in the more subdued lol, for cichlids list...
Well peace in tank now, moved all corys to my 40B for now :) May just keep him and not have corys in that tank. I am just not used to having a tank without them :O
Aloha all, I know I read it somewhere, but know that some Apistos seem to be more aggressive than others. I was thinking Borrelli were one of the more "calm" ones to keep. I am spreaking to just a lone non breeding male :) I have an Ortegai male who I removed from his female, she was a terror...
Yes a 20 LONG :)))) I do have a 40B I can swap him out to if needed, but didn't know if the Panduros had a more aggressive behavior. I know when breeding all Apistos are, territorial, some more than others. I am not breading, and just male :) He is a small 2" with tail, he will grow up in this...
Thanks for the reply :) I just went to ck out the Panduros, they are still really small so I got a male. he is already settled in and ignores all the Rummynose :) They are just less than an inch. I didn't even know til I got the the shop, he had the Blue Panduros, they look AWESOME with the blue...
I would like to add one male Borrelli but hard to find, I can get a male Panduro, but don't know how there temperment is with small fish. Not sure if that would be safe, any one had that combo. These are young Rummynose Rasboras, so small. Thanks
I TOTALLY AGREE :)))) Oh looks like I do have some rams horn snails, they were amongst the casualties, they were small, so maybe putting some larger ones in from my 40B will be a good test. My Apistos are spawning again and she has eggs, so snail project on hold lol :)
It is really hard to sex them, I had them laying eggs all over in my 75 planted tank and only had a few snails, the eggs never hatched because the water was not brackish, but the eggs were ugly :O I got them out as soon as I could find them and then had to scrape all the eggs off everything :O
GOOD point :) I would never put snails from an outside source in my tanks, BUT what about the snails from our own tanks that have been parasite free for many years?? Neritina species, I didn't like the looks of all the white eggs they laid everywhere in my tanks ;O, AND how do you know they...
oh yaaee, so they don't eat mystery snails :) ??? I am not sure I can buy them here in Hawaii, will have to ck that out. We cannot buy shrimp, or some fish, but will be happy if I can add snails they don't eat, my other tanks stay so much cleaner with snails :) I am glad it wasn't a ph thing, so...
Oh I forgot to mention, my German Blue rams and Bolivian rams did the same thing too. Our aquarium snails that eat fish food must taste extra good to them, like fish food. The male Ortegai doesn't seem to eat as many, but I do see him shake one here and there and eat it.
I was wondering if anyone else had the snail feast going on with their apistos. My female Ortegai sucks them up faster than I can drop um in. I had a good snail population to keep all algae in ck before I added the pair of Ortegai to this tank, now NO snail of any size. The female eats ALL day...
