When the 3 wild caught Altums were added as well the tank became a bit of a war zone (they have been in the tank for 36 hours) with everyone establishing their place in the hierarchy. here are only two species in the genus Dianema, the other being longibarbis, the Porthole cat. As soon as they have been added back into the aquarium they have begun to display these behaviours again. The two fish that are on the right most side of the image are the two that were displaying pairing behaviours in the video above. The only other species I am still on the fence about adding is a small species of pleco (leaning towards L134) If all turn out to be males I will just add a few and possibly pick up a small group of Dicrossus Maculatus to add as well ( Maculatus was my first preference)Ģ x Apistogramma Agassizii ‘Tefe Blue’ - 1 Male / 1 Female, I might not decide to add the female and instead add another 2 or so male apistogramma or another species. They are:Ģ0 x Hemigrammus Bleheri will most likely only add 10 or 11 more to get me 20 in total.Ģ0 x Corydoras Sterbai - May only add 15 or soĦ x Dicrossus Filamentosus - Sold as 2 Males and 4 Females, so far seeing 4 displaying characteristic male lyretail. They will be added in small numbers at a time and I will asses how I feel about the tank once they are added. I have had fish in quarantine for the past two months that I wanted to add to this tank once it was completed. The goal for this tank was to have the altums are the majority display fish, and then have smaller species as I believe it will be amazing to watch the zip around the tank, between the driftwood/ plants and when you actually spot them it will be exciting!Ĩ x Pterophyllum Altum - 5 X F1 Rio Atabapo, 1 x WC Rio Atabapo, 2 x Wild Caught Rio Orinoco ( In the future I might replace the F1 group with more wild caught as I am much more a fan of the wild caught P. There will also be an extra piece of driftwood added above the right hand side of the aquarium with more species of plants. There is still more aquatic plants and emersed plants to be added to the wood above the water. Look up Dianema urostriatum on AquaticRepublic.Stage 1 of the aquascape has been completed.
