    Sexing Apistogramma Hongsloi

    Hi everyone, Saw these two apistogramma labelled as a Hongsloi (Redline) pair. I wasn't too sure if they are a pair though as they were quite similar and I'm definitely no expert on sexing. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me if they are male or female (if they're too young to tell that's...

    Dwarf gourami with apistos

    ok I will stay clear of gourami for now until I can maybe set up a tank just for them. Would sparkling gourami be a possibility though?

    Dwarf gourami with apistos

    I read from somewhere that they were similar in nature to honey gourami which is apparently the more docile variety of the species (?). I have learnt to take everything I learn online these days with a pinch of salt so this is all very good to know. Also just checking, sparkling gouramis would...

    Dwarf gourami with apistos

    Yes that makes sense I was thinking that maybe the apistos wouldn't mind them as dither fish but that probably wont work- will have to stick to pencil fish and other nanoish species for the smaller tanks. Thanks for the help, Ilias

    Dwarf gourami with apistos

    Hi everyone, I have already decided on tank mates for my apisto pair but out of curiosity and for thinking ahead, would a small group (maybe 5) of dwarf gouramis be suitable with a pair of apisto, assuming the tank is big enough (20 gallon long or more). Tried to research it online and most...

    Collecting wood/leaves etc

    Would it be fine if I dried the wood before putting into the tank? it has been drying for a week or two and will be for a bit longer. ahh annoying brexit, very unfortunate i'll see if I can find something similar in the uk.

    Collecting wood/leaves etc

    Hi MacZ, Thanks for the information, very useful! Just to clarify: -So I can collect small pieces of wood and twigs/small branches from the forest, yes? (or even my garden). - I went to my local crystal clear river in the forest and collected some small branches/pieces of wood which were already...

    Collecting wood/leaves etc

    Hi everyone! I'm setting up a tank at the moment for a pair of borrellii/hongsloi (still undecided) and have got some wood and rocks to add and and create line of sight obstructions etc. However I need much more and it would cost a lot to buy from my LFS or online. I've seen some amazing tanks...

    Getting a pair of juvenile A. Hongsloi - Tips and tricks.

    so if the panduros at the shop were a pair would it be fine in the 20 gallon? also is there a 100% certainty that they will break up? or is it possible to know after how long? I think, if there was a brood, i would be able to move the male to the 10 gallon until i take the fry out of the tank...

    Getting a pair of juvenile A. Hongsloi - Tips and tricks.

    ok good to know oh wow i did not know they could grow that big everyone i have asked have said 7 or 8 cm maximum for apistos in general so this is very useful! That sounds like a good idea, i will definitely get a bigger tank over the next few months so i can get a female aswell. The shop did...

    Getting a pair of juvenile A. Hongsloi - Tips and tricks.

    I am quite confident they are a pair and the staff at the shop have also said they are, I will have a last look before I take them home. For the 20 galllon tank, I am picking it up in a few days so I will set it up instead of waiting as it sounds that they are slightly-more-agressive fish so i...
