Here's my wild Tucano red pair. Relative young I think, male is only slightly more then an inch. But the ventral fins is really long

There's still alot to choose from Biotope, anyone else got them too? I saw an alpha very fierce too! Nice fish overall.
any updates from the pair of ap. elizabethae ?

Currently housing them in seperate tank to beef them up first.
Diet include brine shrimp live and frozen, tubifex worms and NLS grow formula.
becareful if you feed tubifex worm as they contains bacteria.
Chee Yong
Got potential. Tubifex worm, ok. high risk = high return. trust me. fish fed with these worms all becomes "ang moh" size.

any tips to clean them before feeding to fishes ?
Chee Yong
For me, I just buy 50 cents worth of tubifex, put them in a big pail full of water. Prior to that, rinse them thoroughly. Let the worms sit for more than 3 hours.. So far, for me, ok in terms of apisto. I used to have many eunotus babies, and i fed them with tubifex. growth really fast. no death.
However, i did not do it to my discus, because obviously they are more dear to me

Oh ya. This maybe urban legend - but when fishes are fed with tubifex worms since babies days.. they seem to be less affected by bacteria. However, don't try if they are already an adult because their body may not be built for wild food.
Most breeders use tubifex worms, because they are cheap and fast in growing babies.

thanks for the information

hi nicktc
a very nice fish you have there.
I bought 2 pairs of elizabethae from biotope's last shipment. They are doing well, however, the 2 males haves different shape tail - one is a spear shape (same as what you have) the other of another shape
Is this normal for elizabethae?
I am not too sure as well. They are still relatively young fishes though.
I believe the tail will morph slightly.
Here's mine. Used to be clean spade shape.
Jervis, you are right, mine is similar to this shape now. thanks for the advice.
nice fish you have
