Looks like two males to me. It's not uncommon for angles to come down with tumors. If he is not acting sick I would no anything. Just let him be. He looks really healthy to me I would not worry too much. How old is he?

Any tank raised fish is going to be forgiving for the most part. It's the wilds that can be picky about water.

I think it would be fine. Apisto can be nasty little fish to each other. Keeping one would be fine. I have one apisto steel blue he is alone and fine. In your tank I would only keep one.

I wonder if I could find a female. Or could I keep males together? I was going to ask my lfs to order more for me. I am just not sure if I should keep a bunch of males?

I have been wanting a Apistogramma sp. My other one I got was sick to begin with and died. Today I went out to get dog food and saw a Apistogramma sp. "Steel Blue". I had to have it. So I was doing research and found that these might be hybrids made in Asia? Anyone have any other info on...

I have always wanted some of these. I can never find them. They are cute. I heard they can be shy?

Don't buy from dr foster and smith . That place is a rip off. Look on aqua bid first. that pet place was good when I bought from them years ago and good prices. As for festivum I have one left and he is about 6". He is 2 years old. I had 3 the 2 beat up the weak one. Then the 2 I had left...

I think you could add 2 or 3. They would be a great addition. What's the tank temp? These little pit bull plecos need clean cool water. 75f at the highest I think.

I say pit bull pleco too. Does it kind of have a little shin to it. I had a pit bull pleco it was a very pretty little pleco. Check out http://www.planetcatfish.com/

I have Singapore moss growing both submersed and emersed. It's amazing how different some plants can look depending on how they are grow.

Wpg is not that good of a rule it's just about as good as the inch per gal rule for fish. It's an ok guid I guess. It's all about PAR with it comes to light intensity. I have a 80gal planted tank. I have 2x65 daylight T5 on that tank. I raised the light up about 4" from the water surface...

Take the carbon out if you can. Its not doing you any good. Adding ferts will wear out the carbon fast. I don't run carbon in any of my tanks have not used it in years. My fish and plants are fine. Keep it and it will be ok if you keep it but it's kind of just a waste.

Looks like you have a hungry sword. I have kept one sword for 2 years almost killed it and brought it back. These plants are heavy root feeding plants. If they don't have any nurtiance in the substrate they suffer. Adding ferts to the water will help too. Swords suffer when there is not enough...

A little ram maybe. Or sparkling gourami they are small but pretty. Guppies are awesome flashy and fun.

I have a delhezi it's the best fish . They are peaceful but eat anything and try can fit in their mouth. they can fit a lot in their belly. So don't keep them with small fish. Other then that these fish can live with just about any good size fish. They are slow to get food. Making sure they...

I had one for a few years I loved it. When he was 2 years old he was 4". they are on the small side.

They set up a pecking order. It will change some times my oldest pigeon rules the tank. They are cichlids and that's just how they are. Move stuff around in the tank can help. Removing dose work some times.

I fed my guppies they were all fine. A few hours later one female is floating around and looks like her insides were coming out her vent. No other fish are sick I have fry in the tank too. No sign of illness at all. This death was sudden. Almost looked like reproductive problem?

I am going on a vacation camping trip we are taking the dogs so no need for a petsitter. I normally have my petsitter feed my tanks every few days. So this time I am just cleaning the tanks and leaving them alone. I just wonder what others do?

Is Lilly your severum? she is still being nasty? Bullying kills your right most Likely cause is that. So sorry.

Here is a better photo. You can see the cloudy right around the top of the eye.

I know she is stressed. The tank she was in for over a week was bear no place to hide at all. Just her and some other fish that picked on her. Poor thing needed to be saved. The LFS annoys me. All the fish look stressed because they are all kept in completely bear tanks. So they never show...

Sorry for the bad photo after I put her in the tank she swam around then went and found a hide out. I will get another photo soon. What is it? Am I right? I ask the fish store owner to get some apisto in. He is more of a saltwater guy so does not know his fresh water fish well. Anyways the...

Good to hear. Uarus really are very entertaining.. They will bite drift wood and eat algea off it. I put a pieces of wood that was covered in green algea. The Uarus eat it all off they are algea eaters. I watched them do it. Make sure to feed them plenty of greens. I feed mine plant clippings...

If I had the money I would do a reef tank.

No rams. I have one and he does not like other rams. Beside been there done that time for something differant.

80gal lots of plants. 4 discus 7guppies 8 Cory cats 1 BN Pleco 1 clown Pleco 1 Bolviana ram I am thinking Laetacara curviceps or some kind of Apistogramma . What one wod be best do you think? What one is more outgoing ?

BN Pleco best clean up fish IMO. Since I got one for my 80gal planted tank my plants look amazing they use to get brown algea on them and I would have to clean the leaves with my fingers. Now they are spotless. I am alson adding ferts and raised the light so I get less algae but these plecos get...

It is for growing out discus if they are 2"or young. You need to feed them 3 times a day and so you need more WC.

Very nice red snake skin. Perfect size too. I have a stendkers blue snake skin.

About 3 weeks old

Have you tried aqua bid? Or there is a planted tank forum that has mainly USA based people. People will give you plants for free or really cheap just pay shipping. I ship my plants for $6 any place in the USA.

I research before I buy.

When many many generation are bred in captivity that's the start of domestication. Humans are selectively breeding fish for color and fins mainly. So all other things that wild fish look for in a mate no longer matter. So what the fish needs to survive in the wild is no longer needed or bred...

I have some stendker great quality fish well the ones I got are. I messed up when raising my discus a year and a half ago. If I were to do it over I would grow them out in a bear bottom tank with No other fish. I would feed a lot more the. I did never ever skip a wc. Like I said I messed up...

Cool fish. I am finding I Want more of these weird odd fish. Nice group you have.

If you are doing so many WC that you never let enough ammonia to feed the good bacteria you will throw off your cycle. So say you are doing 2 50% WC everyday. The week you miss a WC or 2 your whole cycle will be thrown off and you will have a mini cycle. But if your are changing 80-90% of the...

I got it. Wild caught delhezi will have more or darker bands and might look a bit differant from captive bred ones. Mine is most likely a farm raised Del yours might be wild.
