I have treated my tank for camallanus worms with Sera Med Nematol on the 15th of may as I had my male cockatoo apisto infested with them.(Lost my female cockatoo apisto because of them). He got a bit better so I have medicated the tank a second time on the 6th may, as indicated, to kill the...

I don't think so, it might eat the tetras. But very interesting fishes, though...

At the end, I am going with trying to raise fry from eggs. I bought some eggs of gardnery Lafia Gold Killifish, and after watching a few videos, it shouldn't be too hard to raise the fry, providing some of those eggs are fertiles. Should be interesting. If it doesn't work, I will buy some fully...

I have never heard of head and tail light tetras, I had a look on you tube and they look quite interesting. I will look into it, if only to replace my cardinals when they start dying off. I will keep in mind all suggestions, I haven't decided yet. It probably won't be hatchet fishes though.

I could not find anyone to tell me why both my male and female apisto did that. It seems they ate the underside of my frogbit leaves. Nice big healthy plants they were, until my apistos thought otherwise.  A while after,  my female died of camallanus worms. I didn't realise that at the time, but...

I can't have floating plants, my apistos destroy them. So, unless those eques are willing to do with artificial plants, I can't have them. I will never take the risk to add any penguin tetras in my tank, they can turn aggressive towards the other fishes, there are quite a few threads on...

My tank is 78x40x40cm, I run an external fluval 206 filter, at the moment I have 10 cardinal tetras, 1 male cockatoo apisto (soon to be 3 as I am waiting for a pair of females) and 4 three lined corys.   When I look at my tank, what stand up the most is the vast emptiness of the top half.   With...

I have bought the Harka-Verm, but after you mentioning the eSha-ndx, I had a look into it and found some on Ebay which I bought too. It won't be lost, I intend to quarantine and treat every fishes that I buy from now on, so if I can find the dosage for the Harka-Verm too it will be used.

I have a case of camallanus worms in my 120L tank.   I have 10 cardinal tetras, 4 corydoras trilineatus, and 1 apistogramma cacatuoides male (I had a female of them but she died, she had worms too and was stressed out by the male constant attention).   I have treated the tank with Sera Med...

Is this enough hiding spots?    

They have got enough caves, it's like a maze. It was quite weird, when she vanished for a week, I decided to take all ornaments out until I find her, even then I couldn't find her. Thinking she had been eaten by the other fishes, I've cleaned the tank and  do a big water change and did put...

I used to have a pair of cockatoo apisto in a 120L tank with 10 cardinal tetras and 4 corys. The female died.I bought them together but they weren't placed in the same tank, she was with another fully grown male and the juvenile male was in another tank. He was more beautiful than the fully...
