Female still in there ?

[Bermont]

just added a gold ram, firemouths and a texas cichlid to my americans

[Bowdy]

Ram won't last long

[TheTexasCichlidMasacre]

yeah she is bowdy... that driftwood log he cannot fit into it she barely comes out... but its only been 2 days since i took out all the limestone and replaced it with those 3 pieces of white slate and she has been kinda coming half out while he is doing his dancing above the slate so maybe i could be in luck soon... which would be annoying .... just when we are gonna move in a few weeks haha

everytime she did come out he could be on her instantly and she would run into crap and he would give her a wack but half the time the limestone caused more damage then he did lol

you like his colour Bowdy?

[Bowdy]

Needs more caves hidey holes man. Need many places for her to hide.

[Bermont]

the gold ram is with my butterflys and german blues in the discus tank, my 5 footer is gonna be a stock american tank and my old front african displays turning into Geo Display tank with some texas holey rock. When i eventually find a tank for them ill move the rams into their own tank to attempt to breed them.

yeah there was a few others but im looking for some more driftwood instead... cause she was able to hide under the limestone caves i made but she just panic and run into them ....

[Bowdy]

Giving her only one place to hide just makes it easy for him to find her.

yeah i know but i did have a few other spots but they were all made up of the limestone ... there is a nother piece of wood in there now but i did take it out just before i took those photos to pull some black algae off it :/

Finally got back into fish this weekend. Starting slowly, starting American.

 

I was lucky enough to get back a pair of Uaru from my original collection that I had to sell 18 months ago. The pair bond between them was obvious from the moment I put them in my tank, so I'm hoping I get a bit of spawniing action soon.

 

Big thanks to Bowdy for looking after them for like 10 weeks while I was OS

[Bowdy]

No problem Brett just happy you were able to get them back and not sold on and disappear again.
Good luck with them mate.
