I made an impulse buy at the LFS and got a white cheek moray eel. My son loves eels and really wanted it. The guy at the LFS said it would be no problem and that the Apisto would be fine. Well, she's gone. :cry: I usually do research before buying new fish but this time relied on the LFS...
I'm setting up a 28 gal bow front tank. Can these two species be housed together or should I pick just one?
I have sand coral substrate, rocks, shells and some caves. The tank will be ready for fish tomorrow.
Thanks!
I think the screws are galvanized and not stainless. Either way, that piece is coming out. What pisses me off is the guy at the LFS said "Diftwood won't do anything to the water."
I just read an article that said driftwood can cause water problems. I have a driftwood decoration in my tank that has a few large pieces attached to a slate bottom. This is in the same tank that my 4 Rams died in after doing well for about 2 weeks and my Apisto male died in after doing well...
Thanks all!
I do have 1 Apisto left, a female. She is in my small tank with a few neons and is doing great. I plan to keep that tank simple and make no changes since everything is working good.
I appreciate everyone's support! :D :D
I posted before about my Apisto C. male not doing well. He died this morning. It makes me sad that I could not save him since he was a real fighter and hung in there longer than I thought he would. Some will say "It's just a fish" but he had a great personality and was lots of fun to watch...
Sick Fish?
I haven't noticed any swelling or other physical changes. He usually is a brown color and sometimes turns yellow (which I beieve is normal).
He is not eating and is hanging out in one spot most of the time.
No stringy stuff.
I just did a water change and cleaned the...
I've always used a little salt. What I have read/heard is that it is good for electrolytes and fish health as long as it's not too much. Here's a link for the Proper pH info... http://www.aquariumpharm.com/catalog/aquarium/apaaq136.htm
Ammonia and nitrite were 0 and nitrate was barely 1...
I apparently have no luck with cichlids. :cry:
My male Apisto C. has been in my 35G hex tank for over a month. Usually he is active, eats right away, explores the tank, guards his cave and changes colors. The last few days he has been hiding more and now he isn't eating. I checked the...
For a 10g tank you should put in 1 dwarf cichlid only.
I have a bow front 7g tank that has a foot print almost the same as a 10g. I put 1 male and 1 female A. cacatuoides in the tank. I had to take the male out because he "owned" the whole tank. He is now in my 35g hex tank and is much...
Sorry to say but they are all gone.
I talked to a senior person at my LFS and she and I realized that the person who sold them to me missed and important part...pH. I told the assistant what my pH was but she didn't know that the Rams were in 6.5pH. My tank is at 7.5 and I only did a drip...
