Thread a bit quiet. Everyone busy with fries?

[seudzar]

No lah. No action. My papa male dead 3 weeks ago. So no action. Concentrate into sp red neon, hastatus and getrudae. Haha

does apisto pair need a large tank? 1.5FT tank enough?

They are not fragile. Is that aggression will arise when they spawn.

Tank size depend on species.
1.5Ft can be used to keep a pair of slen

[seudzar]

Agree with joopsg.

[tureblue82]

sorry i tried searching for slen but nothing relevant seems to come out.

Any longer name?

[joopsg]

big one is female right?.......what about the smaller one....?

seems like the tail part theres a bit of spiky-ness at the end.

Is the current too strong? im using HOF that can be adjusted.



pardon my decoration,still waiting for driftwood to sink.

[joopsg]

Big one is male. Usually male colorful

[seudzar]

Agree with joopsp

[tureblue82]

is the current too strong?
should i tune it down somemore or just switch to sponge filter?

the smaller apisto stil too young to sex?

3rd day already,the big guy still in dark body colors with bright finnage colors.
Is this stress or normal?..hmm.

You can switch to just sponge filter if your tank is fully cycled.

The smaller size one need a better photo to sex.

Is the male swimming around or just hiding in one corner?
If swimming around then it is normal.

[tureblue82]

Thanks for the quick reply!

It's a fully cycled tank(with culled shrimps),has been running for 1 year plus already.

He is not a shy one and always like to hang around in front and everywhere....doesnt seem to be scared of me.

Only when night then i spotted him near the cave looking thing.

Sometimes i see the big and small one following each other.

The smaller fish is around 2cm-2.5cm.


Can't wait for my de-commisioned driftwood to sink again to create a more natural look to the tank!

As what you described, you are fine. Give us another clearer picture of the smaller one to confirm.
