Let's see your dwarfs!

[Frostyone]

So, anyone else here keep dwarfs? I do, so I'll start. Here's some pictures of my A. Cacatuoides, A. Borellii and Rams

They're some fat Blue Rams! Apisto's look great.

No photographs of my dwarfs other than a few older Keyhole shots that I've got lying around from March 3 of this year.

.. and the first couple of minutes of this video.

Those Rams are far from dwarfs

And, as usual Japes my lad, I'm jealous as ever

Really should set up my spare tank and try my luck with some tiny terrors.

They're actually only about 2" right now, fat little guys though. They don't like my camera at ALL! Everytime I'm in front of the tank with it they try to attack it, quite funny really. I've really gotten into these little fish and find myself sitting in front of this tank more than any of my others.

And that's a stunning Keyhole Japes

dwarves are my thing i guess. you will really get hooked soon.
i recently got a keyhole too. they are really cool. mine swims sideways 24/7. unfortunately i have no pics.

Go on then, i'm game.

What are we talking tank wise? numbers etc?

I've got me a spare 55, and have fancied a planted tank for a while. How many Apisto's you think i could handle? Are they pretty readily available? (never seen them in blighty, but i fancy my chances on line)

Any help appreciated

C'mon anyone else here keep dwarves? I know they're not ]V[onster, but still cool fish for little tanks.

A planted 55 would be perfect for a harem of A. Cacatuoides (1 male/5-6 females)
