One of the Smiling Acaras, Laetacara curviceps is one of my all time favorite fish. Hard to find! They definitely deserve more love as they are great with larger tetras - no mini rasboras. All around great choices. Maybe an African butterfly fish for those rock dwellers? Or a gourami... mollies... platys...

The Dwarf Flag Acara is a great little additional to any aquarium. Largely very peaceful: even spawning fish don't cause too much trouble if the tank is large enough to allow them the space they need. Mature fish are very attractive. They are active and inquisitive: you really get the feeling they are curious about the surroundings, rather than aimlessly schooling about. In the UK, availability is a bit of a problem.... and when they appear they don't look as robust as they were long time ago (don't know if that's a result of decades of farmed/tank raised interbreeding?) I have long desired a couple of pairs: but I just can't find 4 fish that look as robust as I remember when I first kept them.

I got a pair of ramirezi with a male apistogramma Borelli. I would like to have some bolivian ramirezi and Cacatuoide apistogramma. Do you think is better to get just a male of each to put them with my pair of Ramirezi? Thanks.

I know this video is 2 years old but if you're still looking for tank mates for the temporalis, cyprichromis leptosoma would be great imo. Really cool looking cichlid that's gonna stay in your top third and maxes out about 3in.

@darthdoggie00312 жыл бұрын
If you mean algae yes, green algae is common basically everyone gets it but you do want to remove it, a scrubber to get it off the glass and some cleaner fish like corydoras eat it. But if you have brown algae thats a serious problem that needs to be dealt with immediately. Green algae is a excess of light so turn off your light for a few more hours a day only keep it on for like 6 hours a day and scrub it away. Brown algae is usually brought into the tank by wood or rocks and spreads like fire. I've found phosguard helps clear it but you also need some cleaner fish like corydoras or shrimp, amano shrimp are huge eaters and wont be eaten by too many fish because of their size.
