Nippy fish will also attack shrimp and when shrimp shed they are at quite high risk with a lot of fish.

If you increase the salinity quickly the bacteria die, so I'm going to say moving the bacteria from brackish to freshwater could kill it also.

Internal parasites could be a possibility. What are you trying to feed?

Ah very witty. There's loads of things possible in a 20g: congo puffer, tetra's, apistogrammas, rams, danios etc. etc.

Some auto feeders are a lot more reliable and better designed then others. Don't class them all as one.Some auto feeders are a lot more reliable and better designed then others. Don't class them all as one.

Depends on the type of filter, some eheims are well over 10 years old and still going well.

Depends how loud you have your music, I play music from my computer and it doesn't bother fish in tanks less than a foot away that I've notice.

Cheesy feet, there are higher temperature cories e.g. sterbai.

I wouldn't use apple snails in fry tanks, they make way to much waste. Normal pest snails are better. Algae isn't normally a problem in fry tanks as they are normally bare so it's easy to scrap off. Do you want the snail to clear algae or left over food?

Not sure on how often, but they shed fairly regularly. I feed them occasionally, I tear them up first so they aren't to big.

F8's could go with knight gobies also. As for puffers being harder than other fish to keep, they aren't hard to keep in my opinion. Though I only kept dwarfs, also there's no reason to test the water on an established tank, unless you believe something to be wrong. As long as you can do water...

I feed my prawns so they would most likely be able to eat small shrimp, especially when they are shedding.

Leave it in there on it's own. Saves wasting money of things that it will kill or will outgrow the tank. What species is it?

Look up African clawed frogs.

I wouldn't put tiger barbs with discus no matter what size group really, too attack etc. Why not go for a shoal of larger tetras?

They can get a fair size, probably 10". What tank size do you have and what else is in with it?

Can I watch you break that to the wife? Please :D When do you want to get the 110g? What will the dimensions be? Ah, going off topic now...

Why the bump? Personally I see no reason why I'd want to cross breed them, but that's just me. Neons and cardinals are in the same genus, so it might not be impossible, it would be very hard, as breeding them normally takes a lot of effort, but the hybrids will most likely be weaker, with more...

There's your answer Catfish Are Cool.

Very nice, will look great when you get more vallis in there. What's the current stocking now?

That's the same site I used to identify them, but various people are calling it jurupari. I do think they are Satanoperca leucostica. Thanks.

Cheers invaderwithkey, do you agree they are Satanoperca leucosticta?

Anaerobic conditions get rid of nitrate though, even if the gases do form, they are harmless as soon as they come into contact with the water. So the anaerobic pockets aren't that bad really, I've never seen any supported proof of the gases killing a fish either. I never have any success...

Did you buy and a group and let them pair off or just throw two together? Have any other fish that are breeding? Could try adding them to the tank with other breeding fish or using the water from a tank with breeding fish in it, to see if hormones from other breeding fish encourage them.

A round pebble or flat piece of rock will be your best bet probably. Are they guarding any territory?

Mr. Hankey should be your favourite :D

They sound fertilized. Unfertilized eggs are white normally.

Indeed, though my two relentlessly attacked each other till I split them up, so now I'm going to see if I can pick up a few more. Though I might need to get rid of some of the fish in my 90g to make room for them.

I'd leave it flat.

The water change may stress them enough to eat the eggs, try and cause as little disturbance as you can. Eggs should hatch depending on temperature after around 4 days, they will probably be free swimming 5 days after that. Are there other fish with the pair? If so what?

English tank's aren't really designed for HOB's. I'd go for the 2212 aquaball from that list, I'm using one (along with others) on my 30g. I also have the fluval 2+ on the same tank, but I prefer the eheim. For a pair of fig. 8's you will want the best filtration you can get really, a 20g...

This is some of the worst trolling I've seen really :/ Come on man, you can do better than that...

Awwww, ickle troll! Stick the tail back on with sellotape, all shall then be right in the world :D

Yes the ram's have ovipositor's and they will be visible shortly before they are about to lay eggs.

The picture he put up is my fish, if it is the same species it is not a Geophagus spp. but Satanoperca leucosticta. I keep mine with other cichlids: sajica, severums, blue acara, Apistogramma spp. and I've kept them with others as well. On the group issue I had to split mine up as they were...

Is it fresh water? (Asking as you have the fig. 8 puffer in there). How aggressive is the puffer?

Cheers, play spot the severum, there are four, my phone doesn't like taking pics of the green ones though.

32 minutes and a bump eh? Well wouldn't it be better to ask this on a reptile forum not a fish forum?

I'm going to guess 3x means 3 danios ;) And welcome odettebottier.

Go for something different, oddball community? Personable cichlid? Cichlid pair if you like breeding?
