I think someone said my aquariums never have enough floaters; sadly when i have aquariums with floaters they float away :(

Btw this is my most over stocked aquarium with over 40 fishes in a 20 long. How many can you find ?

My intention is to remove the d39s (in theory there are 6 in there though in the past month i could only find 4) to a 65 on Nov 21 or Nov 24. I also want to reduce the number of green neon tetra; any one know if they are aggressive fry predators ? I'd like to trim down the number of green neon tetra to a more reasonable number but not quite sure where to move them. They have been in blackwater the past 12 to 18 months so kind of want to keep them in the same environment.


(the 65 will be redone just before i move them and the current cichilds removed).

Green Neons (P. simulans) is a blackwater species. Like other blackwater schooling tetras they are opportunistic predators on anything small enough to fit in their mouth. As such schooling tetras can overwelm a female apisto's ability to protect her fry.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
