Hi Ade,
Thanks for your reply.
So it looks as though a total of five or six GBRs would be OK in one tank. In other words, I could transfer, say, four juveniles back to the community tank in which the parents reside. That would be nice.
The male juveniles are just over an inch in length with...
Hi Folks,
Currently, I have 41 juvenile GBRs in their own tank. I estimate that two-thirds are male and one third female. They are just over four months old. I would like to put some of these back into my community tank (in which the parents spawned). Would it be OK to do this? The tank is 125...

Hi Norman,
I also keep a pair of GBRs in my community tank. Just over four months ago, they spawned and now I have no less than 41 beautiful juveniles (now in their own separate tank). The parents are kept in very similar water conditions as yours. My pH is a little lower - more like 7.0 but it...
Hi Fishez,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
When you've got settled in Toronto, we must exchange techy ideas and project details.
I visited Toronto many years ago. It was from there that I took the Canadian Pacific Railways to Vancouver - a breathtaking 75 hour journey crossing the prairies. The...
Apparently, the vinegar eels consume yeasts and bacteria. That sounds a bit more nutritious than vinegar and apple! But I am just a beginner in this field of science.
Yes, that is what we have seen. The Ram fry are now twice the length they were just one week ago. They have gone from approx. 4mm to approx. 8mm during that time.
I can't believe it's 10 days since I wrote the above! How things have progressed. The freshly-hatched artemia nauplii have been a great success. I will never forget watching one of the Ram fry take its first bite of fresh brine shrimp. What a sight! I was over the moon. And I/we have never...
I bought the Paramecium C. online from worm-cultures.com, who are in Sheffield, UK. The quality of what I received was superb and the price was very low. They were a godsend and, of course, I have kept the culture alive by feeding it from time to time.
Thanks for your feedback. I was advised to separate the fry from their parents by someone who has many years' experience of breeding fish. And I didn't have much choice as the parents spawned in my community tank. If I hadn't removed the fertilized eggs, then the other tank inhabitants would...
Hi Folks,
Just posted my first thread on here and now decided to introduce myself. I have been keeping freshwater tropical fish for many years - off and on. Currently have a 125 litre tank with a pair of GBRs, Panda Garras, Red Whiptail Catfish, Pygmy Corys, Clown Plec and Cardinal Tetras. The...
Hi Folks,
This is my very first thread/post on Apistogramma.Com. I hope there will be many more. Anyway, here goes...
My German Blue Rams recently spawned and I now have approximately 40 fry in their own separate 12 litre tank. I am currently feeding the fry on a combination of Paramecium and...
