Thank you, I realized that. Iv known this site was dead for some time now but I thought it may still have a core group that may have some input and conversation. To be honest I don't really need the internet to quantity my life. However I had hoped that this site might pop back up. I filled my tank with a pure endler colony. No cross breeding. Pure natural endler live bearers. The only thing stranger than people who have the time to stalk my posts. Tell the girl chained up in your garage that I'm sorry for agrivating you. Stat calm.

It's 30 gallons

I have this tank that I was breeding Apistos in. I sold of my stock months ago and all that's been in it is 4 otocinclus cats. I'd like to stock very lightly. I thought of putting ten salt and pepper Cory's in it It also occurred to me I could scrap the plants, move the otocinclus and do a small tangynikan set up. I'd like some suggestions. Water is 7 ph. Thanks

I'm older and not super tech savvy. However I belong to a lot of forums involving cycling, Diving, paddeling. This is the hardest one to post pictures on. For a hobby that is almost purely visual.

I have around 50 fry in a 30 gallon. Been feeding tons of live baby brine. Ended up with hydra all over the place. My fry have slowly been dieing off 12 ours after dosing. Iv lost 5 in the last two ours. They are all flashing off the substrate. A few of them are not interested in food and have empty stomachs. They are just over a month old and Iv never seen on with out a full tummy before. Interesting enough my Baby mystery snails 3mm wide seem unaffected. I think if dosing no planeria it's probably important to consider that the hard scape, substrate plants ect, take up space. My only theory is I dosed for 30 gallons of water and don't actually have 30 gallons in my tank. I did a 5 gallon water change and loaded my filter with carbon. I guess it's survival of the fittest now. This is the first time I lost fry from this batch. Ammonia 0 nitrate .2 .3 ish

Hello all. Hopefully some one will give me an opinion on this. I set up a 30 gallon breeding tank for a single pair of Apistogramma cacatuoides. My first batch of fry got pulled into my filter straight away. With in the first week of the free swimming stage I had 3 left. So I put the in a Lee's net breeder box inside the tank. Currently at half a cm. I also have a new Brood of 50 or so. (Fixed the filter problem. The troop of 50 is free swimming and I believe to large for the three first generation to eat. They are out growing the net breeder. Will the parents accept them back into the fold? My female can be ruthless when she decides she doesn't like somthing. I was hoping I could sneak them into the second generation once they get closer to size buy there is some aggression going on in the breeder box?

I thought about trying to sneak one back in. I don't want it to become a target though

This set up is nice. I followed the build. Pictures look great. Iv tried to post pictures of my Apistogrammas but I can't get the file size small enough. Would you care to tell me how you do it with such great quality?

My male Apistogramma cacatuoides became a Dad. Now he's fat on account of all the live BBS he cleans up after his 50 kids... lol. You can really see it. His sides are thick. He doesn't do much though. Mom does all the work. He tries but she shoes him away. The odd time he will steel six or seven young from the main Brood and spit them out some where else and guard them. Once mom figures out she goes and gets them back. Lol

I'm looking into getting a c02 system. I don't need a lot of C02. My tank is set up low tech right now with low co2 easy plants. Tiawan moss. Spiky moss anubius and Java fern. I just have a trio of Apistos int the tank. It's 30 gallons. I just want to give my tank a minor boost of co2 to keep my plants in top shape. Iv looked at the fluvsl disposable systems. They seem to get mixed reviews. Does any one have a good suggestion. I don't have a lot of space so I need somthing smaller than the large 5lb bottles

I can't see why not. Any one done it?

I have a 30 gallon with excellent filtration. I have three bolivian rams ( one breeding pair) One bonded pair of Apistogramma cacatuoides 4 black cory cats 9 rummy nose tetras Two honey gouramis Could I add an electric blue acara to this tank?

I have set up a 30 gallon tank with 5 juvenile apistogramma cacatuoides. 3 males and two females. I hopefully I can get a breeding pair. I was thinking of adding a school of ember tetras. Any opinions on this? Are the embers to small to be kept with the Appostos. If breeding will the Apistos get too aggressive for them?

Keep in mind if purchasing a flex your also going to have to buy a heater and you may end up spending some money on an air pump and other accessories to get it dialed in.
