Hi Everybody

Hi,
My name is Raj. I'm from Nottingham, UK. I have been keeping fish since 2012. I had kept fish when i was in school but further higher studies and works didnt allow any change of fishkeeping.

i started again in early 2012. i had setup a small 10 gallon planted tank for my hafmoon betta. i loved keeping bettas .... i had em for about 6 months.
While looking for a new fish, i fell upon apistogramma cacatuoides... i got myself a pair of triple reds and upgraded my tank to a 20 gallon long. Fascinating fish they are...the male was a bit aggressive... they breed in the tank and the female brood caring got me more interested in south america dwarf cichids....

I currently apistogramma baenschi in my planted rio 180 tank with dicrossus maculatus, coral red pencilfish and splash tetras.
I also keep Apistogramma elizabethae in rio 125 and wild caught apisto eremnopyne in a 30 gallon long.

I have been successful in breeding the elizabethae and the eremnopyne... still working on my baenschi... see her in brooding colours but no eggs... so still some work to do i guess...

along with apistos, my future plans are to try and breed the splash tetras and the pencilfish..

anyways looking forward to being involved and getting advice from experts on successful fish keeping


Thanks
