Steffan Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hi there, Just doing a little introduction! I'm very new to the hobby, just got cut by the aquarium big about a month ago and have so far started cycling and planning a 75 gallon and 55 gallon tank. The 75 will be a home for Barbs and Crayfish, while I plan to do the 55 with Angelfish, an Apisto pair and a pair of Blue Rams. I'm based in Calgary and am loving learning about this hobby.

biodives Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Welcome to AA. For Apistos have a look at Curtis Jerrom he has several apistos and also angels. The A. borellii 'Opal' would be a good starter apisto as they handle harder water better and stay smaller than some others. Having pairs of apisto and rams in a 55 can result in territorial problems, especially if they start mating. However, you can try and relocate a pair to the 75G if needed. PS: Curtis posts his stocklist in this group's "livestock classifieds" section under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffan Posted August 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 That's awesome! I'll check him out when I've posted enough to have access to the classifieds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodives Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I visited him two weekends ago and he had some VERY nice Apistogramma borellii 'Opal' (the one with the red/pearl markings on the cheeks). You should check if he still has them, quite likely he does. You can reach him by email at curtis.jerrom@gmail.com. He also has Badis badis and Badis sp. 'Buxar' which are small cichlid-like (but not closely related) fish from Indo-China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
