The endler guy Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 idk, my female ram wasnt there at feeding time last night and I didnt see her since last morning, kind of fearing the worst, and because of that im starting to second guess getting dwarf centipede knives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The endler guy Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Sadly my female ram died, probably low water temp, low oxygen and fictitious in water parameters. Need less to say I don’t think I’ll be getting knife fish any time soon: ( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been doing a little research and Bolivians seem much easier I personally like apistos but they are a little pricey and my only experience with them was less then a day. Any thoughts?

Guppysnail Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 @Aiden Carter I had zero luck with Bolivians and I have not had the Germans long enough to be confident in offering any advices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apistogramma are quite fun, but I would also recommend Kribensis as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secretly break into Petco or PetSmart in the dead of night and bag up 35 little ember tetras. With any luck none will die, and on the plus side you can grab a couple of plants while you’re at it 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
