What temp do you suggest?

[akoh]

What temp do you suggest?

Should be around 28 degree C :)

[peckio]

Not advisable to keep with other farlawello?
What tankmates recommended?

[barmby]

Fast flowing and cold water is never related in aquarium cos cold water is usually planted tank which are slow:(

i keep these batch with two other farlawello.......... Bns, psueda, rummy nose, checkerboard dwarf cichlids

dun think so much, grab den say......... ur 5ft planted need more than 10 pieces den can see............ :) :D

[y_man]

Just got 4 pcs..... So cute and fragile. Gonna keep them with my smaller fishes.

Understand. But not many will buy chiller to keep pleco. Mayb a few. So zebra + chiller = breeding ? :) I can see a few. :)

[Edmundo]

One down....4 more to go.............. :(

No chiller lah, just running on dupla T-control system. :)

Luckily I found five pieces this morning :p

Anyone's green farlowella started eating already? I threw in a piece of vege but they seem not interested. :(

[celticfish]

hi guys,

i believe this fell is A. dichromum, which is green ,and not A. discus, which is brownish.

like me i'm sure most of you are wrecking your head on what to feed.
so here's some information i searched.
they live in black water leaf litter ala Apisto style.
so food should be from something from this environment.

i will try feeding with BBS.
and i'll put some ketapang leaves.
belly state has me in "alert state"!

[lyh]

One info I have is that leaving them in room temp is not ok. Mine are breathing heavily and are keeping to the water surface. I'll be running a fan for them later when I get home

[celticfish]

lyh,
i just realized that PCF has some info on this fish.
temp is sated at 23 to 26 C.
that's quite "cool"...

[Edmundo]

edmund the solution to yong hua problem is not about patience... the area he stays is not suitable for the green fellas. I think as a president you should "adopt" them into your house for the time being. But if u find it hard to do it than can i have your permission to bring them to my place to take care fo them for yong hua? :eek:

At his and your ease........... :D

can always keep inside my toilet bowl ...

temp always very low .. :D

feeed on shit ah?

[lyh]

I really appreciate all help rendered but I've gotten a fan already :p. An hour after installing the fan, they have all swam to the bottom of the tank. I think tank water temp contains too little oxygen for them. Tomorrow I'll try other things on them. I don't believe they can't be induced to eat :mad:

After looking at the pics again, I realised that the green farlowella in the pics has got sunken tummy. How many bros farlowella experienced sunken tummy already? I've got one piece that has sunken tummy. The rest seems fine. I wonder if they ate the food I put in :confused:. In additional, from the data given in that website, it seems that these guys max at 4.5cm. If this is the case, our fishes should be nearing adult stage isn't it? :confused:

at the bottom of the tank swiming backstroke? :D

mine still sticking on the side of the wall, do not hang around the branchy Bogwood............. to me a sign of unstable-ness.......... :(

Anymore left?
Or all tabao by Mr Moustachio :D

[celticfish]

just looke at the one in my tank and...
one doing backstroke and the other freestyle... *pengz*
they were the larger ones.
belly of the rest still look sunken and still hanging out on the glass.
i'm assuming thats not good and its only a matter of time now... :(

[jja]

the greenies in my tank are well and they ate their algae wafers last night when fed... seems stable. :D... at times they stick to the glass wall and at times on the branches... i tied some moss to the branches when i intro them to the tank... tank mates are the 6 sturisoma panamanses and the main tenant "big Peru green"... :)

it would help maybe if the tank was not disturbed with minimal or zero "interference" ( like lights on, people looking at it, fast swimming tank mates,..)

But that is what my opinion is only hor.... i "pleco fan" only hehe ;)

yong hus, try putting some moss (taiwan or xmas) on the branch for them to "nibble" let them get some settling down time... i broke a algae wafer into 4 and added in ... saw them slowly inching towards it sniffing and watched the other whiptails eat first before they tried it... took them some time to taste it... noticed that they will hang around the moss portion of the branch if they are not on the glass. not sure if they nibble on the moss but they stick on to the moss

Bro your information comes on time. I've tried algae wafer but they don't seem interested. I've placed some micro pellets in but I've not been home for the past 2 days hence don't know if they have eaten. I'll observe them tonight when I get home. Currently they are placed in a floating box. Think I'll intro 2 baby whiptails to teach the green farlowella how to eat

algae wafer later lah.. have some moss in tank to let them be attracted first lah... they need TLC( tender loving care) dun forget they are sensitive fishes

[lyh]

Some updates on my farlowella... I found one dead just now. It was one of the four that I kept in the floating box. Upon examining, it does not have sunken tummy. I guess the lack of plants in the box could have stressed it and caused it to die. As for the other three in the floating box, two of them I think have started eating. Before I left home on Friday all of them have sunken tummy but now only one tummy is sunken so this might be good news :confused:. I have added one nana plant into the floating box for them to rest on but they seem not interested.

One more farlowella that I didn't manage to catch into the floating box, has sunken tummy. I think it didn't manage to find food in the main tank hence I increased the amount of food fed. I'll update on them again tomorrow. Bros here got any updates?

why u choose to put them in a floating box? maybe they feel caged up an dthat added on to stress... i dunno n=but that is my gut feel lah... hope ur 3 others survive manz
how big is your farowella colony now? hehe

[akoh]

Anymore left?
Or all tabao by Mr Moustachio :D

Think he didn't take all ! :rolleyes: understand from him - when he left NKS still got 2 pcs. :D

I think most of our green farlowella died because they didn't consume food when they are at our place. The idea of puting them in the box is to limit their moving area so that food is available to them easily. I will release them into the main tank later but before that, I'll intro more whiptails in to make them feel comfortable.

Bro how are your green farlowellas? Are they eating well?

[akoh]

No lah, me not Sam... we exchange card on sat...:)

Oop ! Mat ! sorry ! Sorry ! wrong number ! :D met so many kakis that day lah ! confused ! :confused: :D

[jja]

Tot thats a good idea?


i am not for floating boxes or cages. In my little opinion i prefer to let them adapt to the tank naturally. i will mix some of the tank water with the plastic bag water and slowly put the whole plastic bag in tank to stabilize the temp. after an hours or two. i will slowly remove half of plastic bag water and than add in tank water. let it rest inside tank than after an hour or so than tip the bag to let them swim out themselves
it will take time for sensitive fishes but for me it works...

[SoToNgMaN]

so this batch of 40 odd .. how many survived?

[jja]

so this batch of 40 odd .. how many survived?

so far mine five out of five still ok...

Hey yh, thanks for your tipster......... actualy im in the verge giving a bo-chap care over them liao, but ur perservance get me going............ jus went Y618 and get some Grass-like plant.......... later will provide some boiled vege. Anyway, going reservist this wed, so cross fingers! Thanks dude! :)

One of it stick to the grass liao.camoflauge........... but one sunken still stick at glass wall............ maybe overdose fertilizer to let algae bloom....... :D

u want me to take care for you? grass or moss will do well for them to adapt...

[jja]

Bro vege no use. I tried and they don't eat. Try commercial food :)

yong hua adding veg like jap cucumber. algae wafer is good cause when they disintergrate in water they will disperse and some particles will stick to the moss/grass and drift wood
this will provide food for the green fellas... this my opinion only hor.... i just a pleco fan sharing

Bros have gotten it any updates? I intro some nanas into the tank and they seemed more stable. I saw the one in the main tank grazing but not too sure if it was eating though. Interesting fellows :D

[celticfish]

after 50% loss from 6 pcs i have nothing to lose.
idea from lyh, THANKS BUDDY!
i used a very small breeding trap so they cannot stick to the sides comfortably.
this forces them horizontal to face the food.
put some crushed spirulina tabs in and took this picture.
BUT, because their nose is long food they cannot get eat food near the edge.
checked this morning and the belly looks a little better.


sorry the picture's DOF is not good but it was done in a hurry.

Hi bro contrary to what you've done, I've released them into the main tank but with lots of hideout provided. When I observe them this morning, some of them were lying on the floor so I guess that's good news. I found that these fellows are similar to the small boraras that I keep. Their tummy sinks in fast when they don't get food throughout the day. Therefore, I think they should be overfed and feed in higher frequency. :)

[celticfish]

i hope to do that too!
but i'm too concern with the sunken beely for now...
maybe after they have fatten a little will i place them back in the tank.
before, they were perpetually stuck to the glass.
how to find food?!?

Yah bro unless you got lots of algae for them to munch on, the possibility of them eating is near to zero when they are stucked to the wall. Hope yours fatten up real quick

told u early early to not put in cage or breeding tank or what nonsense lah... dun listen... like what another committee say kids nowadays all metal mouth dun listen .... fed up!!!

and dun overfeed!!!! give food with day breaks lah!! grrrr.....!!!

bro like i have said before... u have to add in moss or some small leafy plant for them. i personally suggest moss tied to the the branches in tank. keep them away from places with lots of movement and avoid switching on lights suddenly as it will shock them. best is keep them in a quiet place and see how they will stay around the moss or plants....

[jja]

Yah bro unless you got lots of algae for them to munch on, the possibility of them eating is near to zero when they are stucked to the wall. Hope yours fatten up real quick

to have algae, have a small tank with a rock or piece of wood inside. place it in balcony to get lots of sunlight... u will have a good chance to form algae that can be used as food for them . simple take the wood or stone and put into the tank of whiptails... that is how i fed my newly born whiptails last time

[celticfish]

i have java moss in the tank but not tied to DW as you suggest.
also, a java fern small leaves.
and a piece of DW, oh, ketapanf leaves too.
tankmates, four C. pygmeaus and an Oto.
when i leave for work there is no one in my room so its quite.
but i could not get them of the glass.
hence the "drastic" measure of the smaller breeding trap.

give it time to settle down.. how long have u had them?

[celticfish]

had them from day two when they arrived.
but its the 50% loss that get me to be impatient... :p

[Edmundo]

jus check on mine, sawing on stable specimen hiding among the grass.......... yet to check on the other............ :)

[SoToNgMaN]

so how are the toothpicks surviving right now?

[Gecko]

Has anyone done more readup on this sp? Might be a carnivore!

[akoh]

so how are the toothpicks surviving right now?

One got stuck in the IOS, the other still doing fine and makaning too ! :D

[jja]

so far one casualty. the rest are fine

[Edmundo]

i think i left 1 piece................ :)

[celticfish]

*shakes hands with edmundo*
same same here at one piece left.

in retrospect i think my mistake was thinking that it is a herbivore.
the some information came about them being omnivore...
also, the "in your face" method of a small breeding trap helps them get the food too.
i have seen the lone survivor take to canivore tabs (crushed).
i suppose it "comes with the territory" of new fish with not much information...
causing much assuming during the initial critical days for acclimatization.

Aiyo. Very sensitive


i think i left 1 piece................ :)

[celticfish]

i'm down to zero piece...

the last one looked okay for a while in the main tank.
then its belly went sunken.
next stop death. :(

[SoToNgMaN]

so how many left surviving in Singapore?

[jja]

i still have 4

[celticfish]

well done jja!! :)
any document of their behaviour or diet?!?

[SoToNgMaN]

no sound and news from other pple?

[Edmundo]

no sound and news from other pple?

no sound means............... :mad:

[barmby]

:) :) It is a very difficult-to-keep fish.

[jja]

well done jja!! :)
any document of their behaviour or diet?!?

very shy, comes out to feed only when all others have eaten their fill. Seems they are ok with algae wafers. have not given them any carni pellets so far so not much comments on them. Picky eaters and at times prefer to not eat at all for days

check with old man if his ok or not.... last night was not able to see them. this morning saw them for a brief moment

[celticfish]

Updates anyone?
It would be interesting to find out survivors and method! :D
