I had a question about stocking my new south American display tank. I am wondering if I would be able to mix black Morpho tetras or poecilocharax Weitzmani with some dwarf cichlids like apistos, dicrossus or biotoecus. the tank I have is short(10") and skinny(12") but very long (5'8") and...
Tank is 12 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and 5 feet 8 inches long. I work at a store and we were redoing one of our systems and the tank came in with a scratch, so I took it. Filtration is a sump and lighting will be two kessils I have from a tank I had a while ago. I plan on using some ADA power...
Hi everyone, I am in the process of setting up a cool custom tank and I really want to age it properly before adding fish. stocking is tentative but will be some dwarf cichlids, small tetras, 2 or 3 small plecos/sucker mouth catfish, and maybe some other cool biotopeish fish. does anyone have...
These guys came in with a batch of wild caught rams from Columbia. I was thinking MacMasteri, maybe hoignie?
I just got them yesterday, I’ll update with better pictures once they settle in and get colored up
How are you able to tell if the female is stressed? She has a beautiful breeding suite on and is being a good mother herding here young around the tank. She chases off the tetras if they get anywhere remotely close to the young. She will sometimes leave the young and run back to her cave and...
@Frank Hättich @Mike Wise successful spawn today! The parents seem to be very gentle with each other. The female lets the male approach the fry with no problems and the male seems to be leaving the fry alone, is this typical for resticulosa complex fish?
Once the fry are grown up I’ll send you...
I was told they came in as WC A. Agassizii. Either way it is an exciting fish to have and I look forward to trying to spawn them! Do you think the female is the same species?
Also I am planning on setting up another tank for them, what color sand would you recommend to make the blue on the male pop?
Here are some updated pictures for you! Let me know what you think
The male has this bright fluorescent blue to his body that doesn’t get captured well on camera
Hi, these came in as wild agasizzi, but I am confident that ID is wrong. I separated a pair (I think) that I hope will color up soon but any info helps!
Hi, came across these little guys at a LFS. They were listed as apostogramma guaviare. I’ve heard of but never seen the species before so I wanted to check here
Hello, I came across this apisto at a local store, they weren’t sure what species but it came in as bicatch with apistogramma cacatoides. I’m looking for an ID to maybe fine a female. Thank you!
Hello, this little guy (if it is a guy?) came in with a batch of Apistogramma cacatuoides, I’m not sure if they were wild caught or captives but im trying to find out. In the mean time any ideas would help!
Here are some updated pictures with some better coloration
I have them in with a bunch of botanicals, I hope that helps their fins recover. I’ll take any other suggestions on how to get their fins to recover. As for ID, I’m thinking eunotus is probably correct, but the very optimistic side of me...
