Either nijjensi or panduro would be my guess though i suppose if young enough inka - people should stop using genus name to describe a fish ;) - good luck.

Well if he can bring in wc borelli ;)

I think the curiosity level has remained the same what has changed is the number of non-curious people entering the market so the 'relative' market (or % of people who are curious) has changed.

Wish you could import borelli these days; they do range into columbia and other areas - as they are one of the more adaptable species in the wild.

opal refers to the face not the body colouring. This is the opal i have: My understanding is both opal and non opal do occur in the wild though the opal are not very common. Sadly you can't buy wc borelli these days (brazill won't export them and while they occur in other regions outside...

As for SAE to be honest in a 125 i would keep just one - they might be small and cute now but in a year they will be fairly large and a group of 6 can probably not be sustained in a 125 esp with an inexperience fish keeper. These fishes aren't super delicate but they do have specific needs that...

Look fellow that is uncalled for - the issue is that i'm experienced and you are not. There are a lot of problems with your current stocking and i only pointed out a few - others are going to call out some of the other issues. You can take the advice or ignore it (i think you are going to ignore...

This comment makes no sense and swordtails don't have girlfriends et all. It just doesn't work that way.

Before you add more fishes i would fix things so they are compatible. You ahve hard water fishes, soft water fishes, sa fishes, asian fishes. Also you really don't want to mix platy with swordtails under any circumstance as they will cross breed creating an even muckier fish than most domestic...

Well I think i'll stick with wetspot and my list of specialty sellers. 95% of what i buy these days are wc dwarf cichild though given that all my aquariums are full at this point i'm not buy a lot - in fact i only have 3 fishes on my current list and they are all true blackwater fishes. Hum...

Yea i know 3 months; it happens. Anyway not sure of the point of your link; when they say 'pair' they mean m/f but if you buy a random fish it is 50% the same sex.... hence my comment. They are difficult to sex though i do have 3 males and a lovely female...

I don't remember fer sure but Dan might be one of those places that automagically raises the price to max if stock is low. Of course if that is the case it is pretty slimey.

Most of the fishes i buy - which i admit are dwarf cichild; hide until they learn the behavior of their tank mates. I had one pair hide for 4 weeks. Truth be told most of the fishes i buy would do better in a spieces only tank but that is off topic. As for a friend - well 2 are for fighting a...

https://www.wetspottropicalfish.com/product/pterophyllum-leopoldi/ ($25 for small ones wc); you can get 6 inch wc rio demerara angelfishes for $75 @ tangleup. To be honest i dont' care for Dan's marketing or practices. His fishes might be healthy but stuff which I can breed like bunny rabbits...

No. Also are these Leopoldi which are 'dwarf angelfishes' or dwarf Leopoldi. Worse they are tank raised so you actually have no clue what the breeder has done to their genetics. Personally I think the cost is in the fancy name.

To be honest she would have done much better with a better selection of plants; for example various species of nurii rosen sell for quite a bit yet i have like 50 to 100 of them growing wild in one of my (non co2) aquarium. This comment is really being made as advice for those who try to do the...

I think to answer the ops question one would have to first define what is 'quality of life for a fish'; esp in the aquarium. Then there could be all sort of side debate - is an angelfish better off having long fins but a 500 gallon aquarium or short fins but a 29... live food or dry food...

Outrageous price.

Apistogramma sp Blutkehl

pangio shelfordii are the best but i haven't seen any for sale in since the pandemic. I have a few from 2019 left (amazingly i found them hiding in my 120 with angelfishes along with my one remaining pangio merysi (another fish i haven't seen in a long time). I know this is an old thread but i...

Yea but on the bright side it was a long time ago and he doesn't live with me now that I have my own home. I would never let him near my winkie babies:

Yea 21 micro thingy. That's what i use pure RO/DI water.... it is in the 8-10 range out of the ro system. These are blackwater fishes - they love very clean acidic water. They hate smelly old water. They are adorable couple who deserve the purist ;) My only surprise is how well the plants do.

I don't know but i just measured the EC of one of my aquariums. It was a massive 21. That means I have 21 points of garbage polluting my water :( Probably at least 5 of those points is your spit ;) (the 21 is an accurate reading unless the pen is out of calibration) And yes plants grow just...

My mom told him to not do it again but that didn't help my guppies much.

First 3 are the same aquarium - but how to take a picture of a 180 i don't know:

No; but i did have a small aquarium in the bathroom and he did pour tooth paste in it every day; about a month after they all died he said he was "running an experiment to see how much toothpaste they could handle" or something like that. I was really angry but he was bigger than me so there...

I thought it was eccentric comedians ;)

I had a guppy in a cup for an afternoon but then my brother drank it without looking at the content :(

In a couple of my tanks i get this wool like algae growing on rocks and such - i can't comment on if it grows easier or harder than plants but it is rather uncommon among my aquariums so i'm going to presume it is harder or needs special conditions - i'm not sure what it is called but you can...

So they lie for business sake :( hum... how does it go ...liar liar pants on fire.
