    Which fish readily breed successfully in planted tanks?

    Hi thanks for all of the advice. For Apistogramma to breed succesfully do they need to be the exact same species, or is the same genus okay suitable? How many individual Apistogramma would be suitable in community tank (180l), and what sex ratio should they be kept with? How does leaf litter...

    Which fish readily breed successfully in planted tanks?

    What would they be like with Yamato shrimps, 2x Angel fish, and some black neon tetras?.. Its a heavily planted 180l tank. Thanks

    Which fish readily breed successfully in planted tanks?

    How good parents are Apistogramma spp? I've kept Ram cichlids in the past who spawned, but they ate the eggs.

    Bioluminescence/ Fluroescence in Tropical marine Fish/ invertebrates?

    Hi guys. I have two questions; 1) Are there any freshwaters/ (or even marine fish or invertebrates), that produce bioluminescence? 2) How do certain fish in the hobby produce the light they produce? For example, German Blue Rams (etc), produce light. Is this Bioluminescence or...

    Protogynous hermaphroditism in Cardinal tertas (also other Tetras?).

    Hi Ed, thanks for clearing that up, and it seems you know quite a bit about this subject!. Just wondering if you could clear this up also? I have five Ram Cichlids' in my tank, and there was supposed to be two males and three females, but sometimes they are a bit difficult to distinguish in...

    Protogynous hermaphroditism in Cardinal tertas (also other Tetras?).

    That's cleared up that observation then. Must be a greedy female, and some sort of dominance related growth/ feeding rate, as suggested. I was just staring into my tank earlier and thought, could it be possible?.. guess not. Cheers¬!

    Protogynous hermaphroditism in Cardinal tertas (also other Tetras?).

    Hello everyone, Just made some observations with the fish I have in my tank. I have 8 Cardinal tetras in my tank, and there is always just one that is much larger than the others. A few weeks ago the largest one died, and within 4 to 8 days, one of the others grew to be much bigger than the...

    Advice on suitable Cichlids for an aquascaped tank please?

    Hi mate. Tank is 180l high tech (CO2/ ferts/ UV sterilizer etc). Don't use test kits as lots of people advise there isn't much point, but 50% water change weekly and tank is very healthy. Will look into these suggestions now. Cheers!

    Advice on suitable Cichlids for an aquascaped tank please?

    Hello everyone. I've decided I want to give up my community tank with tetras and cherry shrimp, and would rather have just two or three Chichlids in there. I walked in to an aquatics shop earlier and saw some Convict Cichlids, and thought how awesome they would look in my tank. But found out...

    Are there any Dwarf Cichlids suitable with Cherry shrimp?

    Thanks for the suggestions on this thread, and the topic received far more attention than I expected. I've kept Rams with cherry shrimp in the past, which cut the numbers of cherries down so much that I rarely saw them any more. So I couldn't appreciate them really, but they did recover with an...

    Are there any Dwarf Cichlids suitable with Cherry shrimp?

    Hi, are there any Dwarf Cichlids out there that you can keep with cherry shrimp (preferably new world)? I'd like to keep some German Blue Rams, but the last ones I had ate the majority of the cherry shrimp in the tank. I'm looking for something else, possibly Keyhole Cichlids? Any suggestions...
