Hi all!
I got a small question for all you plant buffs (-looking at you, darrel)…
Have any of you ever tried using one of the smaller nympheas( or any size for that matter) in a tank setup? -and not “just” use normal zenkeri or whatever the name.
Also i have noticed elocharis (hair grass) is...
Hey all!
Quick question. Are these Gammarus sp. and are they save as fish food?
I got plenty of them in my two water barrels outside along with daphnies and other small copepods.
Probably not the best pictures, so sorry in advance.

i'm doing it in this thread so i don't hijack feetPixels thread more than necessary.
tomorrow i'll pick up two more, which i very much hope is both females. i don't want five males...
they are absolutely beautiful fish. still a bit...
Hi all!
I’m slowly prepping for my new 155 liter tank, which i just got.
A couple of years ago i bought this Palm frond from a petstore. It’s been laying in store for the perfect tank opputunity.
I sadly don’t know what type of palmtree it comes from but i would love to know if you think it’s...
hi all!
lately my fish focus have been on these little ones. -And especially on the "rio Kaw" color morph, as i have seen them on a LFS list fairly closeby.
is there anybody here, who have kept them and got any pictures to share? - i have only seen one picture of it.
also any other useful info...
Hi all!

I saw thar copella nattereri is found there, but i can’t figure out if it’s Marinho or Zarske.
Any help on how ti read fishbase or any help at all, is very much appreciated.

Hi all!
I’m thinking of mixing some mulm/leaflitter for my tanks. I plan to use whatever type of leafs i got on storage, beech bark, coconut fibers, alder cones, maybe some small twigs and ash tree bark..
All but the ash tree bark, is what i normally have in my toolbelt, so i just wanted to...
Hi all!
I got a few questions about dither fish for I. Adoketa.
I have read some threads here, stating that they would eat all “bite sized” tank mates if they can catch them.
Do you think n. Marginatus would fall into that category?
I guess n. Eques is too big?
Also, would any of the two be...
Hi all!
Today i noticed an pale-ish band between the eyes on my A. Atahualpa female. It doesn’t look like damaged scales and i’m fairly certain it’s come within the last few days.
She eat and swims just fine.
I tried to grab a few pictures of it with my phone, so it’s probally not the best...
hi all!
small question for you savy copella folks..
can any of you identify whether or not Ruinemans "Copella Nattereri", is Marinho or Zarske?
I'm only interrested if it's the one listed as "Copella Nattereri", on TomC's site.
i have tried writing them, but i guess they don't answer mails...
Hi all!
I recently saw that Ruinemans, have a. D29, listed, so out of curiosity, i wanted to hear if any of you have any experience with them?
Are they to be kept as Mac’s, aggression, any pictures to share as it’s quite sparse on the web, etc..
Thanks in advance

Hi all!
Have any of you kept loreto tetras before? -i’d love to hear your thoughts of them. Fry safe?
Also, do they occour in Rio itaya (-in the same waters as a. Atahualpa)?
As far as i could read it sounds like it has a pretty big distribution range.
Just curious, for now.

hi all!
i'm dreaming of getting a new larger tank to replace one of my 75 liters. the idea so far is a clearwater tank to house either some clearwater apistos or some dicrossus maculatus.
so far it's just on the drawing board/dream scenario.. heheh
a week ago or so i found this substrate, so...
Hi all!
I got a few questions regarding a. Atahualpa and maybe sneaker males in general.
A few month ago my dominant male died. After that the dominant female continued the hierachy. I was sure i had 1 male and 2 females. Subdominant female i didn’t see much exept when eating.
Now i’m not so...
Hi all!
I’m thinking of getting some of these (p. Spilota) for my main tank (l:120 cm, d:36 cm, h:36), with a. Atahualpa.
I’m just not sure if they get to “big” for a dither.
Whats your thought on this?
I’m thinking of a group of 10.
I was aiming for copella nattereri, but sadly i was too...
Hi!
I recently bought some Heteranthera Reniformis (-i hope to see them blossom). They where listed as floaters, but they do have some rather large roots.
So my question is does any of you have any experience with rooting them or should i just keep them as they are listed?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all!
i got a free tank and is debating heavily with myself, about what to put in it.
One of the fish i have been thinking of is this.
Therefore i’d like to hear about your experiences with it.
disclaimer:,i have never kept West african fish, so here is a few questions i couldn’t find answers...
Hi all!
today i spotted one of my copellas with dropsy or bloat like symptoms. It is now moved to a hospital tank.
so now i am reading up how to treat it, as i have had a few other cases of this or something similare within the last couple of months.
I have one question though. Could this be...
