Ensuring a happy homecoming

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Female is really looking good finally coloring up, and even getting her red belly. I've done a lot of water changes with my tap and the ph is high and she's doing better than before. This is why I'm constantly telling people rams aren't as fragile as people make them out to be.

Checkout my profile to see the difference in her colors

This info will certainly make people rethink owning rams So as long as the parameters are good, the ph isn't much of a concern. Does this apply to other dwarfs such as appistos etc?
Also very glad about your wild girl. How about a new photo of her?

Just uploaded them lol. My apistos just laid eggs jn the same conditions to answer your question

Had a look at your dwarf cichlids and they are really stunning. Can't wait to see your cockatoo babies

Thanks I like them a lot, I hope mom doesn't eat them like last time. I have the tank setup to allow parents to raise the babies so I knows want them to. I do have everything necessary to do it artificially.

Well I ended up losing her. After looking so much better she randomly started doing barrel rolls and lost her the next day. Seller refunded everything, great guy

Thats a shame Sorry.

Well it opened up space for the apistos I got. Maybe I will try wild rams after I move

 

[Tandanus]

Oh hell! After how good she was looking? That really sucks. Sorry CC...how disappointing >_<

I know I was sure she was gonna pull through after all the complications. I had the oppritunity to get more since i was at the sellers last weekend. I decided to go with two pairs of apistos this time around and picked up a pleco. All are doing awesome! Seller even gave me a discount off the pairs for shipping and refunded my money for the ram pair.

 

[Tandanus]

Sounds like a good bloke. Which apistos did you get? Do you have any photos of them in your profile?

Yeah, gotta love rams. Where are you moving to? That's the hardest part of moving. I always stress out about my fish. I've moved my tanks to 5 different locations over the years.

Just south about 45 minutes for school

I wish you a smooth transition. You'll need an entire day dedicated for your tanks. That'll be a pizza night for sure
