Me? On fishlore?- :lol: I did some more reading on them and Im good. They will be coming tomorrow :)

Just bought the pair of black rams you had listed today on Aquabid. Very excited to get a chance to breed these. Gonna go through this thread to see what tips you have for care. I have a lot of wild S.A fish ( wild discus, Altum Angels, geophagus, biotodoma cupidos, etc... so imagine that they...

Thanks! Yeah, Ive kinda ran out of room for now to put up any larger tanks. Until I can convince my husband that we dont need the couch anyways-- lol! Shrimp are a totally different take on the hobby for me-- make you draw in close to the aquarium, watch carefully, slow down. Its very relaxing.

Just recently caught the shrimp-keeping bug after converting a 30 gallon freshwater community to a shrimp tank with wild neocaradina and caradina baubalti "zebra". Quickly set up 2 other tanks as well: a Fluvel Flex 9 gallon and a Fluvel Spec V. Here are some pictures: 30 gallon Fluvel...

Its been a long while since updated on the geophagus. Here are some recent pictures of tank and fish.

Thank you, that is the male. He is a beauty. Here are a couple pictures of the pair: Also have a Stendker Tefe pair that are in a breeder tank right now. No luck so far.

Thank you!

60 Discus tank- F1 Alenquer discus pair

Here is my 180 gallon- geoghagus sveni and neambi, biotodoma cupido and wavirinii

They are full of personality. I am loving them! :)

Love these Angels--- future tank. :)

About 3 inches I think... around about.

It is a 180 gallon. Here is a video of the whole tank. https://vimeo.com/251103574

Just got group of biotodoma cupidos. Their faces--- cutest fishy face ever. :)

Are you doing medication, high heat, and salt with your neon tetras? That is a sure fire way to kill neon tetras. I would do a large water change and get the salt out of your tank asap--- in high concentrations will do more harm than good as neon come from extremely soft waters, with low pH and...

My favorite fish are constantly changing. It is usually my newest fish that I am still learning the behavior of... I spend a lot of time observing and reading up on a species before and after I receive them. Im sure, like many others, I would of got bored with fish-keeping 28 years ago when I...

They are Phenacogrammus aurantiacus "(Lamp-eye Congo tetra). A beautiful Congo tetra.

Here is a video of my geophagus sveni. They are still growing-- in leaps and bounds, just got them a few months ago. Amazing fish--- interesting behaviors and a huge appetite :) https://vimeo.com/251103574?activityReferer=1

Since you are here seeking advise from those who have raised discus, ill give my two-cents. Sadly, 2 inch discus will not fare well in a planted tank- for numerous reasons. But, the biggest reason will be due to food and waste getting trapped in areas that you are unable to see. With the many...

Very nice set-ups. Love the geo's. Have a group of g.sveni's myself.

very nice discus you have there! congrats-- welcome to the discus club :)

Highly unlikely the tank would be cycled in 2 days with seeded media. The last tank I cycled, a 180 gallon, took 17 days to cycle despite adding biological media from 2 other tanks.

I am fascinated by rare, wild South American characins (although I do have an African species as well, Phenacogrammus aurantiacus) and have been slowly adding varieties to my tanks. My next project is this amazingly colored, nano species called : Tucanoichthys tucano. For those interested...

Doing well, obviously not doing anything too taxing:fish2::fish1: other than looking at fish forums! :)
