Thank you! We found the driftwood in a lake in Wyoming

Nice setup..how're you liking the rams...

 

[Rivercats]

Is that a Apistogramma agassizii Double red? Do you have a pair or trio or just a single male? I've been thinking about getting a trio, how do you like them? I like the DW too, be sure to post pic's once your plants start growing out!

Nice looking tank!

Do you know what species of plants you have there? At least one of them looks as if it could be non-aquatic.

 

[Ilovecichlids]

I can't really remember... I got most of them from petsmart. I know the one in front of the driftwood is call a el niño fern and the ones in the corner are Amazon swords...

I love my Rams! I can't wait to get a pair of German blue rams as well.

Rivercats- they are Apistogramma borelliis (umbrella cichlids) I LOVE them! I bought them when they were babies (smaller then a finger nail!) and they are by far my favorite! They always swim up to the glass to say hi everytime I am by the tank and when I stick my finger in the tank they all will suck or nibble on it! They are so funny and have so much personality!

Oh and I have 3... Not quite sure on the sex... I think I ended up with 2 males and 1 female. I am keeping my eye out for more females so I can have them pair up

Man, that is one of the best pieces of driftwood I've ever seen. Great looking tank!

I just like to know what I put in my tank.

 

[Ilovecichlids]

Me too! Let me know if you find out!

 

[FreshwaterTropical]

Ok will do.

I found out what it is!! Ludwigia repens x arcuata
