    Apistogramma pairs

    Well they have been in a 10 gallon for a while and are doing okay. Plan is to move them into 29 gallon community tank. Got problems with the filter now so that will have to wait. Now I won't worry. He is a bit timid. The female is the mean one. Thanks for the info.

    Apistogrammi and companions

    Oh, so some fish are a bit nosy and stubborn.:biggrin: Sounds like the problem I had when kribensis were breeding. As long as they were left alone they were okay. Thus the 29 Gallon, 30in L x 12in W x 18H should work for the group. That is a sigh of relief! For I don't want 2 tanks of fish to...

    Apistogrammi and companions

    Well I just reset the 29 gallon planted tank Aug 27. Thus I didn't feel safe putting the apistos (male and female) in it. I put 5 Glolight Tetra in it. I had read that it is best to introduce aggressive fish last. I made 3 caves so hopefully they will be content. During the breakdown of the...

    Apistogrammi and companions

    I read at the planted tank forum that the apisto's attach other fish. They are okay with the cory's. What about glo-lights tetra in a 29 gallon planted tank? I had put 6 glo-light tetra in a 10 gallon planted with 3 apistos'(1male), and they stayed in 1 spot. Thus now the apistos are in 10...

    Very low KH and raising it with KH booster

    Sodium bicarbonate raises the kh and ph. I need the ph to be lower.

    Color diminishing?

    By silicate sand do you mean pool filter sand? I read that it has glass in it. The cory's love the river sand so I thought it would be okay for the apistos. I will research more before I start redoing the 29 gallon tank. Now I understand why to the Ro saves in the long run. At times I buy...

    Color diminishing?

    I don't why but I told you the substrate that is in the planted tank. The soil is normal potting mix. This is something read about doing on APC form. The parameters are the same in their holding tank. In the holding tank just have the river rocks and river sand. The gh and kh are both 2 with ph...

    Color diminishing?

    Substrate is Scotts top soil and Scotts potting soil. Then topped with river sand. The rocks are river rock, which I got at a landscaper's. It is a planted tank.

    Color diminishing?

    I gave a negative response, for this phrase seemed more a demand than a suggestion. One can not demand another to spend that kind of money. Also wanted him to understand why I don't feel these fish are worth spending 150 dollars on. The water parameter are strange because the city treats the...

    Color diminishing?

    The ph gone down to 7.6. in all of my tanks. From previous problems with a Ram I found it is best to maintain stable parameters. I have had them for 2 weeks and they are doing fine, thus not going to worry about lowering the ph. Dosing with Seachem Equilibrium should help keep the parameters...

    Color diminishing?

    To me yes! For I love gold colored fish. You don't mean an important factor to the health?

    Do not click on these links. There are spam and can infect your computer. He can't write in English why then are the links in English. Motives questionable.

    Color diminishing?

    I think her coloration is normal. She is very active unlike a Gold Ram I had, whoms color had diminished before he died. Thinking that it is the water that is affecting her coloration since I read this: It is possible to keep and possibly breed many species of dwarf cichlids in hard alkaline...
