Oh I had a feeling seems most of us are kindred spirits with many tanks.
I have had that issue with livebearers fry. Any o that survived to adulthood I always had room in my tanks or friends who wanted. I also had a cousin with a pet alligator that always needed feeder fish.
The main reason...
Love that mental image from the shining!!
I noticed a cave or well a hiding spot under the driftwood and one baby coming out. I figure for now I’m going to see what happens. If there is another batch I might try and setup another tank for them. The issue is the wife is not happy with me...
Great sounds good.
If you think they’re about a month old that explains a lot. The mom seems completely disappeared somewhere in the tank for a couple weeks. My daughter and I gave up hope that she was still alive and then magically reappeared. There are a lot of hiding places in the tank...
It’s the orange little fish at the bottom of each pic I’m going to try and get a better pic later. It resembles a fully developed apisto not like a fry at all
Thanks I’ll run out in the morning and grab some. I finally caught one for a pic don’t think there are more than a couple in the tank. Hard to see exactly dad was photo bombing
Hi
I am not new to the hobby but have never actually bred apistos. At the end of March I setup a 36 gallon bowfront for my daughter. We used seeded material and plants from my tank. We slowly added some neon/cardinal tetras. After a while and much water testing I let her choose what the next...
Well I thought this morning it was looking better but I was wrong it just died. Had what looked like bloodshot eyes before he went fins up
Not sure if I need to worry about the rest of the stock. I did a large pwc
Hi
I added 2 angel fish a few days ago after a 14 day quarantine. All seemed perfect during those 2 weeks and for the first couple days in the main tank. Now one is perfectly fine the other is not doing well. It is vertical and is just resting on a leaf, at times it makes it closer to the...
I “accidentally” got a 5 and 10 gallon last week from someone leaving the hobby.
I felt terrible for the fish when I saw their living conditions. (4 cardinal tetras, 3 black neon tetras, 2 glow light(I think), 2 that look like glow lights but green) The water was filthy and smelled like...
Actually I believe it was when I was adding some water after a PWC. I had the tubers under a a centimetre or so and knocked it out. It seems the anchor roots are what is holding it, the plant seems to be growing well so figure going to leave it and not disturb it. I’ll weight it down if it...
