    60L inspired biotope tank for A.Abacaxis

    Yeah, but none of the female have taken their young out. I am afraid they don't because they are fear it is not for them du of the too small tank. That will make moving everyone safely in a news home a bit tricker. After more than a week (a week and half for the first female), it should already...

    60L inspired biotope tank for A.Abacaxis

    Yeah, it is supposed to arrived by the end of the month. In the meantime both females have eggs (or I think it is wriggles now for one one them). So I don't how I will do to move the male, both females with their offspring to the news tank... perhaps I will just separate the females from their...

    60L inspired biotope tank for A.Abacaxis

    Some updates! I miserably failed the blackworms and the tubifex. or to be more precise, I failed them once, tried again and then the birds have eaten them (put in a shallow basin.. too shallow...). I ordered a bigger custom-made tank (should arrived in a month or a month and half), so I could...

    60L inspired biotope tank for A.Abacaxis

    Fish can also swim on the back angles and behind the rocks (there is 2 to 3cm large passage between the glass and the rock on the back of the tank In the end the endlers livebearers will move out and just a pair of Abacaxis will stay (I am actively looking for a male now, but they tend to be...

    60L inspired biotope tank for A.Abacaxis

    Dimensions 60*30*37, indeed as it is not fully filled it is less than 60l net (should be around 40-50 Lwith a filtration 2*300l/h but no current). But even if the amount of water itself could be important, the surface area of the aquarium is maybe even more important. in the end this tank will...

    60L inspired biotope tank for A.Abacaxis

    Thank you! For now I don't think they will colored much more because they are all females. I need to find a male (perhaps I will order one from an online shop next month if I haven't find one till then). By good point is they aren't shy anymore! or at least the dominant female... because if the...

    A sp tefe or A agassizii [female]

    Today is the first free swimming day. The female has a lot of babies which would suggest that she is a sp. tefé as the male :D There are more young than what we see on the picture but the lens has a limited depth of focus!

    Ortegai Keeping (New Guy Here)

    Hi! Have you though about adding alder cones in addition to the leaves (for water quality) and some pods/cave (for the fish to hide and nest)?

    60L inspired biotope tank for A.Abacaxis

    They are pretty ladies indeed but they are A. sp Abacaxis and not A. sp tefé ;) They start to get more confident and show up in the tank. Unfortunalty I cannot keep them all and I need to find a good mate for the one I will keep and re-home the other. When I see how my a. sp tefé behave now...

    60L inspired biotope tank for A.Abacaxis

    Thank you for your reply! I have also a WC pair of sp. tefé (in another tank) but they settled in way faster (after 2 weeks they didn't mind me being in front of the tank and after 3 weeks they use to be even curious (see if I have so food for them I bet...). I've add some more leaves. They...

    60L inspired biotope tank for A.Abacaxis

    Hi! Here is my 60L tank (60*30), originally set up for A.sp Abacaxis Population a group of juvenile A. sp abacaxis 4 endlers livebearers It is not a biotope aquarium because I didn't pay attention to original location of the plants (so I have bucephalendras, riccardia and anubias... For my...

    A sp tefe or A agassizii [female]

    Hi! Some update! The female has lay eggs and they have hatch! No free swimming yet but I think it should be in two days :)

    A sp tefe or A agassizii [female]

    Cool, it means chances are high that the female is a sp Tefé. And if I purchased another female from the same catch she will also most likely be a sp. Tefé (they are in a 200l 90*50 so there is enough room for 2 females). Thank you!

    A sp tefe or A agassizii [female]

    Indeed there are Tefé I and Tefé II (both belonging to the agassizii specie) I think but apparently this male is a sp Tefé (the line on the below and above the lateral line). For now I try to rehome my female agassizii, and she is the boss in the tank and the male doesn't like her. So as long...

    A sp tefe or A agassizii [female]

    Thank you both of you! I'll see and cross my finger :confused: Do you know if the agassizii and the sp tefe are found on the same locations or not? If I understand correctly the agassizii Tefé come from the lower part of the river and the sp Tefé from the upper part (Lago Tefé). The male and...

    Hello from France

    Thank you! I will post picture probably later this week because I don't have any "updated" picture of both my tanks and as I made some changes to make the aquarium "cozier" for the apisto... :D

    A sp tefe or A agassizii [female]

    Hi! I bought those two as wild caught agassizii but I have been told that the male is an A. sp tefe. But I don't know about the female, I heard it is a bit tricky to distinguish agassizii females from sp tefe. I have a female agassizii (true one) in the tank and she seems really interested in...
