Amazontanklvr's tank build/blog

I have never had an electric blue acara, but I know a couple of people who have kept it in their tanks and I have received good comments from them. Bolivian rams are peaceful fish, there is no doubt about them, and if they are fed the right way they will develop quite interesting colors.
The only reason that I stopped considering them was that they aren't very colorful. I might get some GBRs if the apistos don't work but I don't know.
Amazoniantanklvr, I agree that sometimes the apistogrammas become aggressive, they are fish with enormous beauty, but for my part all I have seen have had a bad character, territorial and harassing, even in tanks of 65 gallons. I hope to add two pairs to my new 90 gallon setup but I should think of a plan b, in case there is a need to withdraw them. If you get your trio I wish you good luck.
Thank you. Good luck to you too!


Im not sure what strain to get. Double red or 'rio xingu'. I want blue. Which would you get? However there is a price difference with the DR being cheaper.

yes, it is nice. Not blue but a consideration of mine.

I will look out for them and if I get an opportunity i'll probably get them
 
I like apistogramma elizabethae, its one of the harder apistos to keep.

I wouldn't do GBR with angels, they need a tank to themselves built around them. Angel's wouldn't like em.

Oh yes! I have considered them. I really like them but my wallet doesn't so....

It was just something I was tossing around in my head. Just an idea. If the apistos don't work I may just do keyholes or golden dwarf cichlids.
 
Ok so. On aquabid there is some Golden dwarf cichlids (Nannacara anomala) for a decent price (if I can win them). Right now the bid id 41 for 6 of them. I know 6 is a bit much so I could 1. sell/give some away and/or 2. get a pair and move them to a different tank for breeding them. What do you guys think? Apisto or golden dwarf?
Oh, and this is the last lot of them. The opportunity closes on 4/4.
 
I have no idea, but let us know if you win them :D
 
I mean the one you are bidding on.

Well I havent bid on them yet.
But I'm asking your opinion. Do you like apistos or golden dwarf cichlids better?
