Pics of the Acestrorhynchus pantaneiro?

Ace falcirostris

house hold bulbs are fine.. And yes much cheaper and located in any big store. Just make sure to get GE daylight 6500k spiral compact flourescents.

you never find a food that is more nutritous than a good quality live feeder.

That bulb is 10 watts. If your hood holds 2 screw in bulbs just go to any hardware store or even walmart and get some GE daylight 6500k bulbs. For a 10g low tech I would get 2 15 watt bulbs or 1 26 watt GE 6500k.

Yes there is tons of info out there but it is spread out all over the place...lol A good place to start would be thewatersnake . com And then just googling Acecestrohynchus will give you all kinds of hits. You just have to weed thru the general internet BS...lol

Going off of jaw structure and spot I am leaning twards Microlepis. I had 2 of these some years ago that were Ided by Tom lorenz on pfury as such. And they are a good one to have. Sort of like a Falcirostris But a little smaller and much deeper bodied when bigger. Mine got to around 11" in the...

Yea man i see that spot behind the gill plate. And plus the jaw structure is off from Falcirostris. HMMmmmm There's 16 species of these guys out there So I am thinking you have one of the more rare ones on your hands...only time will tell, plus as with all amazonian characins they change...

Hear is a good snout shot of a 100% Falcirostris. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=334646

99.9% sure there no falcatus. The only reason I say 99% is because cuda's have the ability to wash there color allmost totally out during times of stress or acclimation. I would need a clear snout shot to be sure on ID. But they could be Fals or minimus. If the top jaw is round and fatter...

Ace Falcirostris He should grow about a inch a month up to 6-7 ish. And then hit 8-10" at 1 year old. When these guys are young they can eat there weight in rosey's everyday. As long as there is enough food. Usually they have a fairly high parasitic load when bought. So after a month or so...

Manually remove as much as you can. Then do a major water change and spot treat the bad area's with hydrogen peroxide while the water is drained. Use up to 2ml per gallon of tank size. Wait for atleast 30minutes before refilling. Any plants or decor that can be removed should be. And then...

Yes, as long as its to big to be eaten. They enjoy a school, so they should be purchased 3 or more at a time.

IMO no There's allmost allways a reason. Its usually stress from tank mates. All these wild caught hydrolycus species are very fragile in aquaria when young. Most people try to put them with cichlids or other large toothy predators and they just cant take it as juvies.

He looks good I have 2 3yr old scombs that haven't hit the 8" mark yet.:( And they were 4"+ when I got em.....lol

All but the rediculously over stocked tanks will have no problem keeping ammonia and nitrate to undetectable levels with as little as 1-2 turnovers per hour. But with such low turn overs there will be a ton of build up on the bottom and possible suspended sediment in the water column. A turn...

purigen is rechargable... But in all honesty carbon or any other chemical filtration is not needed in fresh water aquariums period. A water change will remove a million times more nasties than a carbon bag ever could. And if you want clearer water then switch to a finer mechanical media.

The sad truth is there not usually availiable. Its really odd seeing as how there a bait fish in SA. And from the people I have spoke with have compared them to our fat head minnows, or bait store minnows.. The is my #1 55g and under mini monster. I would love to even see or own a shoal of...

You might look into MTS substrates. Its cheap as umm dirt.lol And the results are amazing. I will never buy high dollar substrates again.

Lookin awesome man... That fin spot is nothin to worry about at this stage just keep an eye on it..
