thanks

Thank you both for the encouragements :D
I am looking for more aspidoras, unfortunately I didn't see them in shops again (though most have the pygmies). Will keep looking.
I think I will also get a couple of colorful platies (after a lot of thought about phantom tetras, cardinal tetras, pencil ...

Hi All,
I hope it's ok to continue to post news here :-)

The fish are still alive. The unpopular aspi is still unpopular and is now darker than the others. This can actually be observed in this photo:

Yes they are much bigger. I tried to take a few photos but as they are afraid of me and I don't have a very good camera it's tough:

So sorry for the aspis losses Apistomaster... I hope you will find others soon.

I also used to use sponge filters when feeding live foods to fry but I wasn't prepared for this here. These fish don't eat in a short time though... I've always been used to ever hungry fish, my problem has never been ...

Hi,
I gave them live daphnia but I can't tell whether they eat... two hours later there are still daphnias swimming in the tank (I didn't put much in... just "washed" the plastic bag in which the daphnia were brought, in the tank) and the aspis swim around accross the aquarium glass sides as usual ...

I don't know yet what live foods I can find in the shops (I just got here last month, didn't yet investigate everything...), will see what I can get tomorrow. If they don't have small enough live stuff, I will try with the frozen brine shrimp (which I've seen in the shops) and will get the eggs and ...

Uh...
I will get some frozen brine shrimp tomorrow I hope they will like it. If they do I hope it's going to be fine and maybe in time they will accept the tablets alternatively. If not I will get an air pump and heater and some brine shrimp eggs and then see if they like the young live ones. The ...

aspidoras pauciradiatus

Hi All,
I am a new member, I was looking for people to help me deal with the situation in my tank :shock:

In short, I got a 54 liters tank and last week I was looking for a couple of small corys to start it off. As the tank is so small I was hoping I'd find some habrosus or hastatus. In one shop ...
