Hi, not sure I have seen this before but my female Borellii has recently been showing dark pigmentation around her head. Picture doesn't even fully do it justice, but you can get the idea. She had been in yellow breeding coloration for quite a while (had some fry, kept them together for a few...
Hi all, these nannostomous marginatus are available on Dan’s fish without photo and I was curious if anyone has any experience? I’m looking for a small group of pencilfish to go with some female borellii in a 20 gallon long. Water is 72F, pH 6.8, hardness <75 TDS. Let me know if I’m on the wrong...
Hi, these little guys are a few months old now and I’m hoping to separate the males and females… any help on the determination? I’ve got a few photos attached which ought to be numbered on the pic. 1-4 are the kids and 5 is the mom (who is suspiciously yellow).
More than the ID - can you tell...
Title pretty much covers it. I’ve been keeping BBS hatching regularly to feed my borellii fry (now juveniles) and all the fish seem to love it (have some rummynose tetras and chili rasbora too). I also feed some frozen food (myesis shrimp, cyclops) and some crumbled bug bites from time to time)...
Hi all, I’m looking at a 35” x 11.5” x 11.5” aquarium, which a very long 21 gallon. My plan was to put 3 or 4 borellii females I have growing out in my large tank (prevent any more spawning) plus a few dithers, lots of plants etc. I’d like to have it be open top with some emersed wood and...
I’ve got 6 borellii pantanal that are 1.5 months old and about 1-2 cm in size now and doing well. They’re still with their mother which seems to be fine (and she remains quite yellow). No other fish - they have one side of a divided 60 gallon all to themselves. The juveniles started displaying...
Hi all, I expect this has been covered but couldn’t find a thread. I wanted to know if it’s possible to keep multiple Borellii females together (no male). I’ve got 6 surviving fry growing up (about 1 cm now, can’t tell sex yet) and don’t want more breeding, so I was thinking about setting up a...
Hi all, I had a young pair of Borellii “pantanal” in my 60 gallon (48” long) and was very sad to lose the male recently (slowly stopped eating, then declined rapidly, no obvious symptoms or issues with the other fish). However, in a twist, the female emerged from a cave a day later with fry, and...
Hi all, I’ve seen some prior threads on fish TB here and the general consensus seems to be very rare. I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on this piece by Walstad? Exec summary - mycobacterium / TB are highly common in the ornamental fish world and account for a significant fraction of...
Hi all, I have gotten my new 60 gallon long aquarium set up and heavily planted. I am running a large canister filter per Mac Z's suggestion, and have the output flow spread across a long spray bar to minimize current. Right now the only inhabitants are 7 rummynose and a mystery snail. I'm in no...
Hi all, I could use some help with a sick Cory who was living in my 20g long community tank with 5 other Cory sterbai, 7 rummynose tetra, and an orange flash apisto male. He showed up one day with some damaged fins - he has always been the “odd man out” in that shoal, and is a little bit...
Hi all - I’ve had this orange flash for about 1 year and recently he’s developed some pigmented spots on his fins that almost look like blisters. I got some reasonable shots attached and would emphasize they have a bubble-like texture. They are on every fin except pectoral and pelvic, but most...
Hi, I’ve got a 20 gallon long tank with 7 rummynose tetra, 6 sterbai cory and 1 apistogramma cacatuoides (male, orange flash). Things have been very stable for a year since I established the tank but I’m starting to wonder… what if I got a bigger tank? So that’s my question - if you had this...
Hi, I’ve moved my fish from a 10 gallon to a 20 gallon long and everyone is settled and doing fine. I wanted some advice on adding new fish.
Current stock:
4 rummynose tetra
3 Cory sterbai
1 apisto orange flame male
1 mystery snail
proposal:
Add 8 rummynose to go to 12
Add 3 Cory to go to...
Hi, I meant to get a pair of orange flash, but I’m afraid I may have two males! The original inhabitant is being aggressive to the newly added, ambiguous fish. The clearly male fish is tail whipping, doing some chasing, and at times the fish do dual displays with tilting of the male while the...
