sure hope so, do you think the smaller one is a female?

i just made a more detailed thread. Follow this link http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f100/laetacara-dorsigera-knowledge-and-input-132421.html

Here is a youtube video of them. YouTube - Laetacara Dorsigera 016

Here is another pic of the big dors. Notice maybe the egg tube? here is another pic of both of them together.

Hello, so I have recently purchased 2 Laetacara Dorsigera 2 days ago, it was listed as L. Curviceps though but after doing some research they were L. Dorsigera. Anyhow, these are straight from the wild from Brazil as the fish owner said so I let him picked a pair for me to take home. They were...

I want to start a tank for a pair of these guys and I have trouble sexing them. I know males are larger with longer extended dorsal like bolivian rams but I also heard that the female will have two black dots on the dorsal fin? What is this about. How do I not mistake this type of curviceps with...

oh and more pics please! A video would be nice also :P

wow this is exciting haha. In my opinion when the fries are freeswimmers you should leave at least 10 in there so the parents can practice parenting and save the rest in the 10 gallons tank, same with the angels.

grats! wow exciting! Hope it works out for you

thanks!

Oh and the tank is 16 gallons very nicely decorated with plants and driftwoods with multiple spawning sites. All of them do defend their own territories so I don't think that is an issue, I will remove the extras once a pair has formed.

personally I don't think female rams are as aggressive but it depends on how you introduce them. The aggression normally ends fairly quick so I wouldn't worry about it.

I am trying to get a pair going and currently have 2 males and 2 females in the same tank. I recently purchased the females, they looks healthy and are swimming pretty well. However, it's been a week and I haven't really seen any of the females eating the flakes. I think they might be part wild...

okay thanks a lot guys, do you think lowes or walmart maybe target sells them?

Hello, so I recently purchased this peat moss planning on adding it to my filter to soften and lower the pH of my 16g tank. I am currently breeding bolivian rams and glowlight tetras and I found it to be more successful with softer water and lower pH. Anyways, my concern is that on the back of...

Oh thanks, and yah I know the whole lip locking thing I've bred them before but the thing is, there was 2 pairs of angels in the main tank and i think i might of switched the pairs when I took those 2 out. I will switch them back morro to see if I was right. That also explains why my male is...

She is now laying her eggs and the male is not fertilising it, should I consider getting a new male?

I think my male is doing that hunger strike, he is refusing to eat flakes but he will eat live worms though. What do I do to change this behavior?

Hm, interesting, today the female's eggtube is completely out and she is really cleaning a sword leaf, he is not showing any interest however. There's only that pair in the tank, what should I do? Leave them and see what happens?

Hey, my angels are about 6months now and the female is already cleaning a leaf and her stomach is getting quite large. However, I think I might have took the wrong male from the community tank of when she started pairing. Is it possible that over time she will repair? She is showing interests in...

I recently just changed 80% of water in my tank and disturbed some particles up on the substrate. Now my tank is foggy and I was wondering when that will clear up etc. Are there anything I can put in my filter to speed up the process? ;)

It looks like thin cotton growing off the wood, is this normal? Will it harm fish and when will it go away. I know on grape wood it rots but this is Malaysian i believe.

Hmm i always thought the long skinny bulbs works better in terms of lighting? Is it the same as cfl bulbs? I think what I'll do is save up some money and order the fixture off a fish magazine that I just saw with like 2 light slots in there total of 40 watts or so. Can someone explain to me...

Oh thanks, I'll see if I can upgrade my lighting. Btw, do I need a new light hood altogether? It just says 180 volts 19 watts on the label, is that the limit on my lighting?

Oh thank you so much! That's really helpful I will definitely look into those plants. I think I have the Echinodorus bleheri and Melon sword. So far 8 leaves on each. The crypts looks really cool I think I'll get that. The Java ferns looks cool too. My root tabs are from API, although I'll look...
