    Odd Apisto Occurence

    Hey guys, I just had a question about some weird happenings with my apistos. I had 2 apistogramma agassizi. Both males (bought before sexable) and they got along for a while, but soon one became very dominant and I hardly ever saw the other. The non dominant male began to have a clamped tail...

    What plant is this - and growth issue

    The plant in the front is water sprite!... With a lot of blue green algae all over it. At least that's my best educated guess... The plant in the back I'm not sure of.

    Actually I got the hob version because I wanted to save space since I'll have this in my dorm room, hopefully it will be fine. They said I couldn't have any fish tanks over the size of a computer screen... Super specific. Haha. So I'm taking my new finnex and hopefully they don't throw a fit...

    Ok cool awesome! Looking forward to getting that thing in the mail then. My tap water sucks so I guess I'll be using RO with some mosura products added for remineralization. Joy! Thanks for the reassurance NYREPS! Glad I bought the finnex now. Hope mine will someday look as good as yours

    Hey NYREPs, I've actually checked out your video on your finnex 4g before. I just bought one and hope it take it to college with me and keep CRS, it will be big enough to accommodate them, won't it? Sure I may not get huge herds of babies, but it should be able to induce some breeding in them.

    I agree. The S and SS are what I like most... I enjoy the variation, the SSS kinda defeats the purpose of being a crystal RED shrimp. Haha. I hope that I don't have so much trouble breeding them, regardless I'm sure my blue pearls will at least breed. :) I'm going to try using RO water with the...

    No joke deckape! But for some reason those little guys have so much allure I just have to pay whatever price to get them... Except I'll pass on like the SSS grade and king kongs and stuff... That's a bit too steep, otherwise the price is not too too terrible.

    Fort. Don't tempt me... I'm trying to save money! Not blow it. Although it would be nice to have a bit bigger nano... Oh well, I'll have the aquasoil for some day when I have the extra money. Maybe around Xmas I'll get a better set up going. Hopefully by the I'll have a couple extra crs to...

    Wanted: WTB Crystal red shrimp

    I bought some of their food, so we will see how that goes... A lot of the reviews on the site say that their shrimp like it more than mosura. Maybe some day I'll try some erio but since it's not friendly on the pocket book I guess I'll pass for now. Accidentally bought some aquasoil Amazonia...

    Haha no problem fort! Glad I could help you some, because you've helped me a lot. Also check out theshrimptank.com they sell mosura products. Just bought a couple things from him. Pretty excited. Yeah, shrimp lab is awesome, is that erio sweet? I bought a Christmas moss mat from them. Pretty...

    Hey fort, I looked on AB for a while and usually the groups were too much, ended up getting a few SS and S shrimp from the shrimp lab. By the way, thanks for the input man... Can't stress how much I really appreciate your advice. Really wish I had as much knowledge as you.

    The tank looks great, you better jungle-fy that thing real quick though.

    Hi I'm looking to buy some low grade crystal reds... Preferably A-S grade. Let me know if you have any you want to get rid of! I'll pay via pay pal

    Today was my lucky day!

    Hey SM, that plant looks like Rotala Macrandra! It can get to be VERY pink in high light with lots of iron and CO2. I have some in my tank, it grows in green and once it gets close to the light turns bright pink. Pretty sweet stuff.

    My update on 10g and 29g

    2 bottles on the 29 gallon. Soon to be replaced with a paintball canister set up! The reds may be thanks to fluorite. Good amount of iron in that and quite a bit of light keeps the reds looking nice! Thanks for the compliment!
