Sorry to hear that they are very sensitive fish and you may have just been unlucky and got and Ill one in the first place

Gotta love small/dwarf cichlids like GBRs, Kribs and Apistos.. thou my red tail red eye puffer is becoming quite a character.

Awesome fish plenty of character esp when paired up - though very sensitive, pH around 6 suits them better and very good water quality needed from my experience (in UK)

Apistogramma Agassizii (m & f) and 4 more embers purchased today. So currently at 2 Apistogramma Agassizii 6 guppies 8 embers my 4 Pitbulls will transfer over during the week if water quality remains good, then nxt wk I will get 10 cardinals. The Agassizii are lovely little fish who soon find...

ok thanks re gouramis and rams

my latest stocking idea was.. 6 guppies 10 cardinals 4 pitbulls 4 embers (prob get 4 more) 2 honey gourami 2 blue rams and poss 1 or 2 cockatoo dwarf cichlids - though need to research this more.

cheers, gunna get 2 Rams prob and Honey Gouramis (instead of dwarfs)

New tank set up... 3 filter sponges I seeded are doing their job as ammonia 0, Nitrite 0 and Nitrate 20+. 6 Guppies brought and 4 embers transfered over from 10gallon. Cardinals getting bought tomorrow stocking slowly...

Hi All I have just ordered my new tank, a Juwel Rio 180 (I have arranged so it arrives 13th Feb - I am off that day to sort it out). I have ordered 2 filter sponges (which will fit the new tank) and have a spare one already in my current small tank to get seeded, so once I get the new tank...

So through the cycling process you have recorded Nitrites and Nitrates being above 0ppm? How many days have you been cycling?

Pitbulls are good small plecos to get, when happy they are quite active. Best to get driftwood for them and try to have 3 or more (but obv with a small tank be careful you don't overstock).

Ghost shrimp or Amano shrimp might be worth a try but I wouldn't even try Cherry Shrimp, I tried and soon failed.

Would be the safest bet imo, just make sure to give the embers a v good diet as there orange colour will fade otherwise.

I have a 35 litre tank. And my betta is shortly going to get the tank to himself as he is far to aggressive. I have mine with Embers and pitbull plecos, and he is still highly aggressively to them and stresses, he cant tolerate any movement. Guppys are a big no imo as a betta will see them as...

Hey all I haven't really been commenting since my first aquarium (10 gallon) cycled and fishes were fine, though I have been checking back and reading often. I should be within the next 8 weeks purchasing a new tank which will be about 37 (US) gallons. Yes I have genuinely annoyed my parter...

Well I have learnt the lesson of putting my Betta with other fish he seemed to have killed a couple at the beginning and hasn't killed in months however, he does make the other fishes life ****, constant chasing and flaring and he even hides the pitbull pleco's sinking pellet - into his own...

Pitbulls are very good just make sure you have 3 or more imo. As I am down to one at mo and he is a depressed little fella (so I'll get him some more friends soon).

My two new additions Judas & Priest (Pitbull Plecos) have settled in nicely, one is absolute crazy ands the other we hardly see. Lovely fish and seem to get on ok with "Lemmy" (Betta) and the "Motley Crue" (Ember Tetras). Tank now fully stocked and I am very happy.

I believe it can take a few days to see the ammonia drop after Nitrites have appeared

Ah ok, thats my one idea exhausted :lol: hopefully somebody else might have an idea esp regarding weights, as I said before I have not used them before so can't advise. Hope it gets solved!

Probably wrong but thought most barbs are fast and fin nippers?

I have Embers with mine (get no less than 5), think they are the smallest tetra you can get and fortunately mine do not appear to be fin nippers. Think Cardinals, Neons are possibilities and Harlequin Rasboras if I remember are also potentially ok. My clean up crew will be the 3 cherry shrimp I...

I haven't had weights in mine so I don't know about that, do you have any bog wood in the tank?

They're little characters for sure! :)

awesome cool! Well as I said earlier Im not to sure if you can have adfs and juliis in same tank esp if you need to have 6 juliis, as think they will all be competeting for the same area in the tank and possibly food as well. So hopefully somebody else will comment in on this one. But I would...
