    New book on dwarf cichlids!

    There is an update to the Aqualog Southamerican Cichlids II book, (2005) "Aqualog Extra The Latest Apistogramma" . Would this be worth having in addition to Sudamerikanische Zwergcichliden/South American Dwarf Cichlids?? Sime

    Which Apisto?

    Amen brotha! Well they are out of the bouble red cacs, they have orange flash males but not sure on female, waiting to hear back from them about that. If that falls through I think ill go for a pair of tri's. I've already got hongsloi & Agi tefe so its really down to the Trifacsiata &...

    Anyone know what this is?

    Its flat against his body, nothing protruding, just like a discolouration. It doesn't look right. I did go through a light white spot outbreak a few weeks ago, dosed malachite green. Thanks Sime

    Which Apisto?

    I would have thought that they would all require pretty much the same water conditions. Its too hard to choose, I'm leaning towards the cac orange flash, or macmasteri or trifasciata. I can only really get one pair or maybe 2. I cant make up my mind!!

    Can you pull the leaves off the tree and let them dry out or should you wait for them to fall off naturally?

    ORP(Redox) or EC/TDS

    I'm thinking about geting an electronic PH tester. There is the PH/EC/TDS combo unit and there is also a PH/ORP(Redox) unit. From what i have researched EC and TDS generally relate to hardness(but not as simple as that). Redox is more of a measure of the water quality. I don't completely...
