    Badis

    As @dw1305 said, it is difficult for some of the species to find females. Right now i have a tank running for over 1 year now, ready for one of the badis/dario species. Very difficult to find a healthy group with females. I think they are gorgious. And because of the small size very suitable to...

    Apistogramma Barlowi

    Ok, params look oké, however i think lowering pH direction 5 and temp little higher direction 84 fajrenheit can help. That´s the params they are found in. About size, your male is about 9cm? (I think this equals 3.5 inch, what is adult size. Barlowi is one of the larger apisto's).

    Help, dead rams

    The 23 degrees celsius is to cold fr rams but possible conversion error? Need minimal 26/27 degrees but preferable 28. You speak that water is very good. How certain are you? For 65liter you have a pretty large amount of fish. How often do you water changes? And you use remineralized RO water...

    Combining M. ramirezi and Dicrossus in a 720L tank?

    In my experience dicrossus and ramirezi can be kept together. And certainly when the tank is 720liters. No problems to expect.

    Selecting fish for breeding

    In general you can say that an outcross adds vitality to a breeding line. In cross will decrease vitality. Oké, this looks like it has nothing to do with coloration, but vitality also means power to reproduce and what is needed for reproduction. So in terms of keeping a species/strain healthy...

    NEW TANK 120GAL :O

    In the past i had a large group of A. Gossei in a 150 gallon tank together with a group of Guianacara Owroewefi and some Mesonauta. In the tank lots of wood. This went very well. The group was at least 25 species. I can assure you it's wonderful to see the group moving trough the tank. Sometimes...

    German Blue Rams laid eggs

    You really need soft and acid conditions. So pH can be lower and probably the hardness is to high. Try filtration over peat to lower pH. Do you use Rain/RO/Tap water? If the last you can be pretty sure it is to hard. Then try rainwater of reversed osmose and then filtration over peat to lower pH...

    Eggs removing can stimulate to more agression. What Mike suggests, place a tank divider such like a big foam mat of what so ever.
