  1. New World cichlids that won't kill dither fish.

    I’ve kept yellow convicts (Amatitlania nanolutea) with Colombian tetras without any problems. They’re called “convicts” but they’re actually pretty mellow.

  2. Brazilian pennywort growing out of tank

    Mine does the same thing, but only in the winter. It’s somehow able to find its way out of small openings in the cover.

  3. Really a Gold Tetra?

    It’s a gold form neon tetra, Paracheirodon innesi. The true gold tetra, Hemigrammus rodwayi, is a completely different species.

  4. Male and Female Kribs not pairing, only aggression

    The fish in the tank is a female, and it’s quite possible that the one in the box is female as well.

  5. Not the new fish I expected

    Too bad about the Badis, but the Pseudomugil make a nice consolation prize. Sparring males look amazing.

  6. How tall does a spawning cave need to be?

    A terracotta flower pot with a 3” diameter opening laying on its side would work fine. I’ve bred Badis badis many times and found that they’re not very particular when it comes to caves.

  7. Why did my gouramis lose their stripe?

    Female honeys have a narrow orange edge on their dorsal fins, which yours have. Males have lemon yellow dorsals. Females are also plumper than males.

  8. Why did my gouramis lose their stripe?

    Both of your fish are female, and their breeding colors are pretty much the same as their normal coloration.

  9. My kribs won't breed

    Are you certain that you have a pair? A better photo would be helpful.

  10. 75 Gallon Tank Black darter/shining tetras (Poecilocharax weitzmani)

    I bred a related species, Crenuchus spilurus, in a tank loaded with Java moss. The male’s “cave” was a ceramic log. I had no idea that they’d spawned until I spotted fry emerging from the moss to feed on BBS.

  11. What species of loaches eat snails

    Anomalochromis thomasi eat pond and ramshorn snails. I’m not sure if they can handle MTS, though.

  12. Is this krib female or male...?

    Female, no doubt about it.

  13. Packing advice for shipping

    Fast the fish for 24 hours before bagging them up to lessen to amount of waste they’ll produce. I always place a 1 inch square of an ammonia absorber, such as Polyfilter, in each bag.

  14. 20 Gallon Tank Dwarf flag acara

    The smaller Laetacara species, curviceps, dorsigera and araguaiae, have relatively small mouths and aren’t very efficient hunters. CPDs shouldn’t have any problem eluding them.

  15. New additions- Poecilia vivipara

    Very nice. I’m also a big fan of wild-type livebearers. As a fellow Brooklynite, what do you use to harden super soft NYC tap water? I discovered many years ago just how most livebearers hate soft water.
