Hi everyone,
About two weeks ago, my E. lucanusi spawned! For a little background, I've had these fish since 2010 and they have spawned but I either never saw viable fry or the fry never made it past wriggler stage...plus, I had a nasty water change accident that knocked out about 80% of my...
Hello there,
I'm located in the DFW, TX area. I obtained my colony last year and they were doing awesome but we got hit with a pretty bad power outage where I'm at and I lost a good number of my fish...very upsetting.
Yes, I agree that I've seen the 'Moanda' variant. I personally think the...
Hello everyone!
This is a TOTAL stab in the dark, but I thought I'd try. Does anyone out there have any of these fish? I would like to obtain a colony of them. Last year, I had about five but because of a power outage, all but one female survived. :( I can't seem to find anyone who has these...
Hello everyone,
I've been trying to do a bit of research on this fish but have found extremely limited information on them. I also saw a few posts off of this board as well but I thought I'd post here in hopes of getting feedback from folks.
I obtained a group of six (three males/three...
Hi,
Thank you all for your feedback! I would never have known they were that species! I did a search for them but I could not locate much information on them. Could you point me in the right direction?
To answer your question, I got these guys from Atlantis. It really doesn't matter what...
Hi everyone,
I recently got a small group of these guys. They were labeled Laetacara curviceps. I know sometimes those can be mislabled as Laetacara dorsigera. I just wanted to confirm the correct ID on these guys. They are pretty small right now...maybe 1.5 - 2 inches and don't really show...
Hi everyone,
I got home from work earlier and looked into my tank to find a suprise....my Tahuantinsuyoa macantzatza spawned! They are from Peru and are delayed biparental mouthbrooders. So they will lay eggs and after they become wrigglers, one or both parents will incubate. I'm really excited...
it worked!
Hello Randall,
I just tried what you suggested with frozen blood worms. The male ate them! I will alternate with spirulina flakes/wafers so they don't get bloat but will continue with this regiment. Thanks so much for your advice! I just wanted to let you know that it seemed to...
hello
Hello Randall,
Thank you for responding back. The pair is still together defending their territory. Unfortunately, I still haven't seen him eat. Over the past few days, I've seen him go for food. He'll take in food but just spits it out. The female is eating pretty well. He displays...
awesome!
Wow...that's awesome! Congratulations!
I've had casuarius spawn before but wasn't able to keep the fry alive.:(
Please keep us posted on your progress
Best regards,

Hello everyone,
I obtained a small group of F0 Steatocranus casuarius. I have four in a 55 with a few other westies. There's definitely a pair bond and I see two hanging out together all the time. They've picked one half of the tank as their territory. I have noticed that the male has gotten...
I got mine from David also! Everyone's still doing well and eating. I have not noticed any pair bonding behaviour yet, although two of them are clearly getting dominant. Each one is on opposite ends of the tank. All the others just kinda hang out and when any gets too close to their territory...
Hello everyone,
I recently a group of these guys. They're pretty cute and are very active. I wanted to post on here to pick your brains on experience(s) you've had with them. This will be my first time keeping them. I currently have Steatocranus casuarius and gibbiceps and of course, these...
thank you
Hi and thank you. I was researching and fell on your forum.
I am planning on keeping a photo journal and will hopefully post more pics of the spawn soon.:)
Right now, the mom is still guarding the cave and the male just kinda hangs out nearby and chases away any fish that swims...
Hello everyone!
My Steatocranus casuarius just spawned! Just yesterday, I noticed the female has a very evident ovipositor and then this morning, I checked on them, and she's guarding a clutch of eggs! It's very exciting...I've been trying to get these fish to spawn for quite some time now...
