    perhaps 100w of light is a bit much for a un-planted tank. You fries will love java moss and hiding spaces.

    do you soak the food first? if you do then try to get a different brand of dry food. My adult agassizi always refused to eat flakes or anything that didn't look natural. Their fries accepted dry food from the start. Maybe a mix of different food would excite their hunger. My mix is crushed...

    Apistogramma trifasciata in 15 gallons ?

    Hello fellow apisto keepers. Not to hijack the thread but could a trio of agassizii share a planted 15 gallon? Because i currently have a pair of red/gold that spawned 9 days after I bought them. There was a conflict between the couple and they ate the eggs. Before the fight, the male was...
