Antibodi: Journey Between Aquarium & Nature

[kribensis12]

I think that they are but some close up pics of the fish would able me to tell for sure.

I don't have any at the moment, but I will insert someone soon.... thanks in advance!

 

[kribensis12]

Okay, just wondering, how much did you pay for the pair? I am looking into some and want to know what cost I should expect.

 

[Dabolox]

Here in Italy not much... 16 € for the couple in a specialistic store.

 

[kribensis12]

My petstore said they would import me a wild caught pair for 30 dallors, since they are rare I might think about getting them. Then I will sell the babies.

Someone else who has nerites!

Your tank is beautiful, but 1 question. Do your snails lay a lot of eggs all over the tank? (not fertal of course)

I'm in love with this tank, it's beautiful, great job.

 

[kribensis12]

I cant keep snails because of the aquarium salt!

I'm back...

My Taeniatus are in love but they have not still made nothing...
I can wait for the eggs.... Maybe I will try to modify the ph... I guess it could be one of the causes.
In the feeding I have included alive food, some Microworms, Earthworms and Mosquito Larvae... I think it's a great supplemental nutrient source... not only flakes or granular.
Anyway I think they are one difficult species of Pelvicachromis Taeniatus... not a common one...

What do you think about it? Any other suggestion...?

Kribensis has told me to change some water (about 30%), i will try this saturday... (my waterchange is about 10% every 2 weeks, I ever made so, in all my tanks).

Some recent photos...

Thanks for the visit...

I am pretty sure they are dehanes. If the water change dosent work the female may not be able to breed( to young, to old, not enough nutrients, not the right water, sick). So I have my fingers crossed for you!

 

[Dabolox]

Thanks Krib.... but I'm not really sure that they are "Dehane", the colors are very different...

 

[kribensis12]

The male is definatly a dehane but the femal dosent look as colorful, so I am not sure about her but the male is defo a dehane.

I have only just come across this thread - and wow - just wow. I absolutely love that tank

And this last photo of your Taeniatus female is just beautiful.

I, too, have only just stumbled onto this topic and I am amazed! I love biotope aquariums and this one is truly inspiring. Beautiful aquascape, beautiful fish and beautifully executed.
