Venom, Don't forget bottled bb to ensure your tank gets cycled asap after the reset.

Guys, Apistogramma baenschi (wc) expected at JZX very soon! Those interested in this species get ready your running shoes to cheong down!

hi bro Illumnae

Many thanks for sharing. Looks like the interest is back...lol. I think we have a critical mass now. The next step is to get some LFH to import wild caught ones (like what Cichlid Forever did many, many moons ago).

Wah, all ready, i do what sia.. see you all buy?

hi bro

I know this may be a sensitive issue, but it would be good if we can get an indication of the current & potential capacity of each one of us to gauge the demand (apistos usually 2-3 per small tank).

I myself have 29 small tanks & one 3ft x 3ft glass tanks at home (not an apistos room but an apistos balcony) & 3 small tanks & two 2 ft tanks in the office.

hi bro Venom

1) Do a 100% water change (either age water or put anti-chrorine & antichroromine). Clean out tank completely - including plants, filter etc. by soaking for 1-2 hours in salt water. I suspect that there are pathogens which attack the weak fries,
2) Once the "new" tank is set up, let it settle for 4-5 days before attempting to breed (to let infusoria etc. develop). Make sure tank is in a place with some sun & open air,
3) For the next batch of fries, try NOT to overfeed as uneaten food decays. In my case, I feed them every two days,
4) try not to be too concerned - the irony is that the more worried you are, the more likely you will lose the fries.

bro.
do you mean the soil also have to soak in salt water?

hi bro Venom - Yes - soak soil in salt. If there are harmful pathogens, they can hide anywhere.

Anyone went to GC for the 45% off on book sales? I purchased a copy of the Mergus Cichlid Atlas Vol.1, which I was looking for quite some time. Could not find a copy of Vol.2, but the other Aqualogs are on sale too, along with other books, including the book on Apistogramma, Crenicara and some others by Mayland and Bork.

[joopsg]

EdwinTay got the last volume 2.

hi bro Stormhawk

bro Joopsg is right. Book 2 not really that exciting. A lot of technical details. Many of the recently-discovered species still not in. I think we have to wait for a couple of years for the updates. However, when I do the open house on Feb 22, you are most welcome to take a look at Book 2.

[illumnae]

Alot of typo errors and labelling errors in Vol 2 as well apparently. Most apisto gurus in the west recommend Vol 1 and Mayland & Bork and suggest omitting Vol 2

[illumnae]

Went over lunch and got Aqualog S.A. Cichlids 1-4 + Mayland & Bork

[joopsg]

Wow!
