    Hey mate, Just wondering if you have any apistogramma ready for sale at the moment and if so, are you willing to post to Perth? Myself and at least one other person are having difficulty sourcing anything at a reasonable price over here and are considering setting up a group buy if we can...

    Unhappy Baenschi

    Hrmm I guess I'll never really know the true cause, but that may well have been the case. The loach is significantly larger than the apisto's and does get much more active & inquisitive when the lights go out, so I could definately imagine him tormenting her at night and doubt very much that he...

    A. Baenschi & Blue Rams in ~25G

    Thanks for the reply here too Mike heh... I spoke to the LFS about those rams again this morning and apparently the supplier is out of stock of the stunners and not sure when they'll be getting that quality again, so I'll just keep on keeping on for now :) -Dave

    Cheers for the suggestion Mike, I haven't seen any real aggression and her fins don't appear damaged but I'll get a bit of tube to float in there just in case. Cheers, Dave

    Unhappy Baenschi

    Hey all, Just came home this arvo to find our female apistogramma baenschi at the top of the tank with her mouth open & looking very faded... I immediately did a ~40% water change and tested the water. Tests seem ok with pH 6.6-6.8, nitrate 10, ammonia 0, nitrite 0. her colour seems to...

    A. Baenschi & Blue Rams in ~25G

    Howdy all, Got another quick question on stocking... I currently have a pair (no breeding yet though *mutters* anyone in Aus. got a spare baenschi female?) of A. Baenschi in a ~25G tank (roughly 36x12" footprint) with 6x neon tetras, 1x ~6cm Bristlenose and 1x yoyo loach (who is coming out...

    Apistogramma baenschi "Inka"

    Hey I know this is an old post but I figured I'd tack my query onto here rather than starting a new thread on a similar topic... I've got a pair of Apistogramma Baenschi / Inka 50 that I bought when they were only around 1cm TL, and was wondering what size/age these guys tend to start...

    Tankmates for A. Baenschi Pair

    Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone could suggest another Apistogramma species to share a 30G tank with my wife's pair of A. Baenschi? I bought them for her when they were all of ~1.5cm long and they've grown into a very handsome pair of fish, but the mrs would like something else to...

    Keeping Bolivian Rams with A. Baenschi

    Yeah I'm still going to get a pair (or do they prefer harem? I cant remember heh) of cac's in the near future I think.. probably once I get the stand sorted for the baenschi's tank then I will get some cac's to go into the community tank.. definately not phased by the $50 for the pair, never...

    Keeping Bolivian Rams with A. Baenschi

    Thanks for that Darrel, pretty much what I figured but was hoping to be told otherwise haha (wishful thinking :) Oh well heh) Thinking at the moment that I will put neon tetras in there as dither fish with the baenschi and leave the rams in the community tank until another tank is approved by...

    Hello all, this is my first time posting here so please be gentle ;) I picked up a pair of A. Baenschi on the weekend, very small young fish which have yet to colour up fully but look like they have great potential and seem quite comfortable with one another so *fingers crossed*. This is my...
