Maybe you should state what you were thinking of,as far as other fish.Then the knowlegable crew here could give some insite,as to what would work,and what will not.
You know,apistos,pelivca,nannochromis,small great whites.:biggrin:
Hi,
stroh71,is making the standard argument,and makes alot of sense.However,fish rarely read the books the experts write,and will settle down to sort out their differences themselves.
Not surprised your rams and kribs are living in harmoney.Lots of food,good care,and alls right with the...
I dont like giving thumbs up on a particular post/response,BUT,Mike is right on!
Its tough enough to find out what apisto. you have from nature,never mind when we keepers start to add to the problem,by breeding indiscriminately.
Maybe,if you dont know what you have,dont breed the darn...
jb-ny,
Take a look at aquabid today,as there are some rare new apistos being listed as avalabile.I would get some,but my tanks are full.Some rare Peruvuians being offered up.
Bill.
Yes,the referance to Caracas was very tongue-in-cheek.The political sitiuation has not changed,but maybe a photo-opt,with Chavez holding a bag of apistos,could change world politics???.Nah,forget that plan.
a couple of shots
Playing with my new micro lens,so here are a few shots of my dimidiatus.
The top photo i am assuming is the male,second the female?The second photo,is the only other one that can hang out with the fish in the top photo with out being chased througout...
Bill C,
Am reading your post right? You have had a spawn from the dimdiatus you receieved from Jeff,at Aquaticlarity?
In a 5 gallon tank?:eek:
If i am reading this right,excuse me while i go outside,and beat my head against the garage wall.
I have to make a comment for everybody that questioned the beefheart.And this is simply to give a argument on this question.
as to this is not a natural food item,when was the last time anyone found brineshrimp in the Amazon,or the streams of Western Africa?
As aquarists,we feed our fish...
As a newbie,
Check aquabid every couple of days.If you see something you like,jump on it fast!.Dont forget to bookmark all the sponsors of this site.Check their avalability list at least twice a week.The rare and cool,go fast.
Have the tank up and seasoned.Prepare to buy,and enjoy...
Mike,
No,after several back and forth e-mails,it turns out that the fish were not collected from the shipper,it was a third party that offered the fish up on aquabid.
I have included several pics of the ones i lost.The four that remain are still doing well.
Thanks guys,
The beefheart is out.They were not eating much anyhow,and seemed cluless as to what it was,ya know,the taste and spit routine.
The deformity seemed odd to me,only because,going all the way to West Africa,to collect a fairly rare fish,in a dangerous area of the world,plus the...
Hello All,
I have questions,and doubts,about the fish i receieved last week.So i will ask some simple questions for you african westie pros.
I ordered 4 pair of wild caught n.dimidiatus. They came in all fine,and went into a tank that was seasoned,and stable.The acclimation process was...
As a new dwarf keeper,i have an ethical question for everyone on this board.
When you buy dwarfs,do you expect to recieve,1M and 1F,when you are told you will recieve a " pair ".I am trying to understand the culture,as it were,of the dwarf cichlid community.
I am not pointing fingers at...
shipping
Well,i went with FedEX,as i trust them,having shipped many saltwater butterflys,when i had my salt tanks.The difference between FedEx,and USPS express was about 6 US dollars.IMHO,a nobrainer.
The total for shipping,from the US east coast,to Denver,Colorado,was about $64.00.This...
JRH,
Like yourself,i am new to apisto keeping,FWIW,i used Caribsea Super Naturals substrate.They have a black sand varity.So far,so good.No issues with PH,or KH problems.I used about 1and a 1/2 inch to cover the bottom,as was suggested by the pros here on the site.I even have an Amozon Sword...
Thanks to everyone,
I am going to post a few more pics,then go with the info i have recieved.Dont know if these photos help with any ID,but i sure enjoy the communication.
Mike and jose,
thanks for the info.Mike,no they are not local Den fish.Apparently,apistos in Den are far and few.I recieved them via theamazonbasement,thru aquabid.com.
As a novice apisto fan,can you give me a brief explanation on the 106,107,108 thing?Is this refering to local...
