I used Furan 2 for my tank when I had it and I haven't had a problem with cyno since

Thanks joe i wasn't planning on getting any agassizi but i was recently in Auckland and they had such nice ones at Hollywood fish farm on sale, and i had the space for them. he is pretty awesome

i have a second tank to put one of the pairs into if i manage to find some females thanks sophia, hopefully once the hair grass gets some good growth it will look wicked.

i think the garage was built onto the wall of the courtyard. yea i quite like it as a background

male, female and ??????

Had a bit of a rearrangement of my tank. current stock: 3 electric blue rams. (unsure of sex ratio but im pretty sure there is one of each) 1 male trifasciata (if anyone has females for sale let me know ) 2 double red agassizi 1 male 1 female 10 neon tetras. Plants: Hairgrass various crypts windelof anubias sagittaria. only ferts used are substrate and the lights are on for 8 hours a day.

i just read an article on apistogramma.com and they say they do get the pink/purple bellys. but looking at images online they dont have them so now im confused :slfg: if so that would be awesome

im not sure, im hoping one of each as one has a long body and one is more rounded. i cant find much solid info on how to sex them except for different dorsal fin lengths, and even then they say that it is not a sure way to tell. i dont believe they get the pink bellies, would look cool if they did and you would be able to tell sex easier. im hoping when they get a bit bigger it will be easier to tell but i am hopeful since they dont fight and seem to hang out with each other 24/7 that it is one of each. :dunno:

Thanks guys, they are such cool fish they swim around the tank together all the time and are such a nice dash of colour in the tank

I went to the lfs shop today and they had electric blue rams, only had two left so i brought them both they are awesome looking fish felt the need to share them :happy2:

the male did chase her quite a bit.. i was going to separate them for a few days but looks like i left it too late :facepalm: shes sitting at the bottom now resting against a rock breathing heavy still :tears:

the other fish are blue rams so thats why i would think that the others would be showing similar signs. i will be getting a test kit soon so next time something like this happens i will be able to provide a full picture. thanks for the help anyway.

yea i think it is time to invest in one was just avoiding that extra cost but i knew i would need to get one eventually. i asked at my lfs but they cant do one. :dunno:

i researched a bit about gill flukes, the only symptom i can see is her gills do look a little inflamed. it says that it is really contagious though so wouldn't my other fish be showing similar signs? I dont have a testing kit apart from ph and kh droppers. i have never needed one before and they are quite expensive for a poor student :-? but i would also assume that since no other fish are showing signs of stress it is ok? Shes still stressed and swimming around the top of the tank breathing heavy, i was surprised she was still alive this morning, hopefully i can figure out what is wrong before she does.
