    Paucisquamis question...

    Here are two of the 6 I got. Sadly camera phones and fish do not mix well... I am pretty certain they are A. Paucisquamis given the descriptions in Romer and Staeck. The double spot threw me and part of me wished I had stumbled upon some Eliza's. Thanks!

    Paucisquamis question...

    Well... I finally have the opportunity to set up a tank and find some apistos again. I managed to come across hat was sold to me as paucisquamis.

    Lost my male :(

    I would expect it to be something else. Apistos come from very soft and acidic waters. They prefer water params like pH 6 or less and below 2 GH, kH and 0 on everything else. I would be more concerned about how your pH swung up over a degree. The pH scale is logarithmic, so that one degree is...

    Algae Eaters

    I have found small ancistrus to be quite excellent algae eaters! That and they are prety shy so they won't pose a big threat to any potential eggs. Good luck!
