No way! All this time I was calling them apistokillis. Ok my favorite apisto by behavior? I love them all. The way they raise their fry is amazing. Watching the tiny bright yellow momma chase away the giant male is priceless.

Behavior wise. I like my killifish.

For me personally I would rather have two 10s with a pair of apistos each rather than one 20g with rams. I've kept rams before and I found them to be finicky

Sure yeah definitely! Apistogramma macmasteri red shoulder is one of my favorite. Beautiful gold with w tinge of red and small enough for a pair to be in certain 10 gallon tanks. Apistogramma agassizi flame red - I don't believe they breed true but omg the colors are amazing Regular macmasteri...

Apistogramma are way cooler than german rams imo.

Bro you think those look good apistogramma macmasteri red shoulder are amazing. Check this out

Also that isn't her normal colors. She's yellow like that because she's breeding. Normally she was more of a pale beige

Keeping then isn't hard. I had no success breeding until I bought and RODI system and starting buffering for specific PH. My tap water is liquid metal and high PH. And comes out the tap with 2ppm of amonia

I'm ready 💪

Second success with breeding anything besides guppys. More than 40 fry from her

I use the artemia blenders. I have two of them that I rotate so I have bbs when the alternate one is hatching. For me it seems with the same water salt and temperature they hatch at the same time almost everytime. You'll get the timing right. Also... if it's too much just use less eggs I found...

I knew by the way she colored up she was ready. She's mean as hell. The male won't get close

So my research into these is confusing. The PH ranges I see online are all the way from 7.0-8.5. And temperature is my biggest concern. The LFS had them in 78 degrees with blue dream shrimp. I see a bunch of stuff online about sulawesi needing like 84 degrees. Any successful breeders have any...

After years of trying to get him into it. I think I finally got him!! He tested water with me on all 10 tanks and even stayed for the water changes. Taught him which tank needed a water change and why based on the parameters. 🥲 im so happy right now lol

Yes I have two more identical empty tanks next to them I can separate them. The tanks are 23.69"x14"x7" so they are super long and wide. It was the first night in there. I ordered the lids for these tanks as they are unique dimensions but they emailed and said they are sold out... which sucks...

I have two ladders. It being the top of the r a ck the tank are only like 7.09" deep. I picked these tanks so I could get into the tanks better. Hard ro get to the back of the tank though

I know all fish can jump and I should have expected this but... my man took a leap from the top tank on my rack... just measured it. 7 feet 1 inches. Found him behind my fish rack in a small puddle that must have been there because one of my sponge filters was on too high and bubbles water out...

Test your tap water too. My tap water comes with 1ppm of amonia 😄. Once I bought an rodi unit my tanks now cycle in half the time and PH is way more stable. My advice on community tanks... you can always shove more fish. But how many water changes do you want to have to do. In a new aquarium...

I absolutely have had 2. First one I had I made the mistake of using a ten gallon. When I put my black knight ram who had ick in there the tank must have had an amonia spike overnight. Now I use a 20 high. Luckily I haven't had to use it. My LFS (is 1.5 hours still local?) And dans fish have...

I ended up getting a large ergo mat to cover the top but not the edges which made it flush. Then another mat over that and the edges. Also used the leveling mats that came with the tanks. Nothing has broken so far 😄

Idk what apistogramma I want to get. I already have double reds, flame reds. Also toying with the idea of an annual killifish probably nothobroncius. I need to make a screen top first though and a few more weeks of cycling the tanks I also am going to add more wood pieces and redistribute the...

1 for killifish 2 for apistos and 1 grow out tank

A good start. I'm new here as well!

Got the tanks for the top of my rack. Set them up. Planting them now. 4 tanks. 23.6×14.07×7.09

I think maybe I should put two of these pads. That should support the entire weight and level it

Would this work? I bought this pad for the top to support it. The tank is 23.62x14x7. It will only hang the .62 inches

Any tank I got that green wooly algae in that kills my plants it was because I added fish too fast... I removed the plants from the algae tank and out them into my tank that's been running for years and the algae dissappear within a week. Most people online suggest lowering one thing at a time...

So my constant water changes were actually not helping at all lol

You said you are having trouble cycling... what the trouble? The amonia isn't going away? Dude... I had this issue and tested my tap water and it has 2ppm out of the tap.
