I started a 37H to celebrate my move back to Austin on December 31st, and continued my gradual move away from the more showy SA species. And I have a harem of eunotus in this tank- 3 females and 1 male.
They have been a dream to work with- and they colored up nicely once they had been in...
Hi Wolf13,
I wanted to reply since my tank has a similar footprint to yours- 65G breeder tank- and I have had a time getting things to where more than one Apisto species could live in harmony.
I offer this in the spirit that I have learned the hard way the various species are very...
Sorry about your loss.
When I got my cacatuoides a year ago, he and the very small pleco species in my tank did not get along. Seems that the cacautoides female and the Pleco liked the same cave and it got ugly. I had to remove the pleco.
Just offering that as a possible reason for the...
Hey guys,
Sorry to be so long responding. Lots going on- but life is good with a happy tank to provide relaxation.
On the puffers- they have actually been in there almost since the beginning and were not a planned new addition. No nipped fins from them and they seem to get on- though the...
Just to follow up- you are right about the honglsoi male. I took him in this AM- thought he was dead, but he was just barely breathing. Really odd diagnosis at the LFS- he was badly bloated and they attributed it to a bacterial infection in the digestive tract. Luckily not contagious, but they...
Hi Mike,
I feed thawed out bloodworms in the morning and then Tetra flake food in the evening.
At certain vantage points (top to middle and right up front along the bottom) the apistos can see across the length of the tank, but not in areas where there is woodscaping.
As of this AM...
Good evening all,
My semi-emergency thread of a few days ago is all resolved. I took the cacatuoides back to the LFS and within 24 hours felt so bad for abandoning them that I went back to the LFS and took my old tank setup off consigment, brought it home- and the next day gave the...
Hi Mike,
Sorry- I was posting when you were.
What you say makes good sense. I have about 30 pounds of wood in there, but the entire cave network did have some continuity- and that was probably my undoing.
I just deleted the rest of my post since thinking more closely on what you said I...
Thank you for your reply beleg,
In looking at what I saw this morning, I am going to go with your possible scenario that the cacatuoides are big enough that there is no peaceful solution.
This morning I tried luring them with bloodworms, but could not get them out the easy way. So I had to...
Good evening all,
I am new to this forum. Have been posting some at another great place as I did my recent tank upgrade, and found this site tonight in my search for something more Apisto specific. I look forward to being here.
I would be grateful for any guidance on a bit of an emergency...
