My experience with Apisto Nijsseni is that they are very aggressive, particularly the female. Mine continually harassed corydoras and tetras whenever they came near. I'd advise against them in a community. Rams are a much calmer choice, as are Apisto Agassizii in my experience........

Echoing a lot of what has already been said above already.......... I've spawned these a few times, My setup was 2 males 1 female in a 35l tank,a small internal filter, a thin layer of sand and lots of java moss. Feed them good quality food and lots of bloodworms and they would spawn every 4 or...

Wayside Aquatics in Brentwood had some recently, give them a ring to check, but a great little shop if you've never been.... Stock list on facebook i think..

Very nice! Lovely lush plants with no co2!

Nice tank set up Lee, those Paros look great! Good luck breeding them, keep us updated.......

Thanks for your responses, I'll get some and give it a test as there seems to be plenty of shrimpers having success with it. I'll be sure to give it a good bodging first!

Cracking looking shrimp! Glad you got them in the end.....

I put 3 rocks(mini landscape rocks) in a 40l and shrimp were dropping within a week, my fault i should of checked! I'd leave it out, you've only got to miss a waterchange and the clocks ticking.... If anyone has other suggestions for inert rock ideas welcome.

Agree with the above, plants will grow better as they are not restricted by the pot, and you won't have an ugly plant pot in your tank!

Cheers for this, thought i'd better double check! Shame it looks really nice, I'll have a look for the Unipac Petrified wood....

Hi, anyone using Dragon Stone in a CRS tank? If so does it affect TDS levels? I briefly tried mini landscape rock/seiryu stone but quickly realised it raises TDS, which is a shame as it looks great...... Thanks in advance! Glen.

Nice shots, what camera are you using? Have you had baby shrimps from the snow whites yet? I wonder if you'll get any CRS babies from them......

Looking good, growing in nice! In my experience an Otto or 2 will definitely help clear up the brown algae..... I had helferi do a similar thing in my tank, grew tall and shed leaves from the bottom, not sure why, mine was fairly low tech so could've been anything.... I ended up taking it out.....

Nice tank, like the foam wall idea might have to copy that! Cracking fish can't recall ever seeing these in any shops.......

Looks great! would be a nice alternative.......
