Hi!
I have a pair of bolivian rams who have had fry once in my 260 litre community tank. Unfortunately (but not surprisingly...) all the fry got eaten after a few days.
Now I have moved the pair into a 94-litre tank together with two small ancistrus, but they don't seem to like it there. Most of the time they are hiding behind a root, ore a plant. Quite dark in colour. :|
There are mangrove roots, rounded stones and some plants in the tank. The temp is about 26 degrees celsius, and the PH is 5. The softness of the wather is about 1-3 dKH. The No3 is under 0,3.
Should I cover up the aquarium? Or should I move some other fish in there as well, would the bolivians feel safer then? I have some apistogramma uapesi who would like the water conditions in this tank a lot! But the general idea of moving the fish was to ensure that the fry would not get eaten this time as well... :?
Any ideas what I should do?
