    super low ph (4.6)

    For your info: 5-6 weeks ago my A. flabellicauda spawned at pH 4.2. Now mother and offspring are doing well in pH 4.9.

    A. flabellicauda with fry

    By the way: numbers are for pictures, so we dont see 5 different males

    A. flabellicauda with fry

    I do, yes. Very dim light in the tank and I use no flash. Hence colours are not bright.

    A. flabellicauda with fry

    It took my pair of this beautiful Apisto 4 unsuccessful spawns to learn how to get viable fry. The first 4 spawns all fry were put outside the cave in the sand a week or so after spawning. The female did continue to care for the every day dwindling number of young until after 3-4 days nothing...

    How to train apistogramma to eat pellet

    Bug bites apparently dererve my attention, as I have also spoilt all my Apisto's with Daphnia, white and black mosquito larvae and grown Artemia. But when I "Google" for Bug BitesI find a lot of different varieties. Bug Bites is a brand name? In short, which one should I buy?

    Is a. sp d51 available for import ?

    Thanks Tom. I also prefer peat+patience over using acids. Thanks

    Is a. sp d51 available for import ?

    Thanks Tom. The different forms of fry are indeed interesting. pH 4-5 is quite low. Let me see how to achieve this. EC 80 is no problem although when using acids for the extra low pH, it wil rise. I guess a lower EC (using rainwater or water from anion-kation exchange) and using peat might work.

    Is a. sp d51 available for import ?

    That could be it Tom: I only have a pair. When I move about ib the room with aquaria they withdraw. Nice picture with 'some' D51's. Off the record: at what water values do you get eggs and fry? (pH and EC).

    Is a. sp d51 available for import ?

    Ah yes, passive as lack of aggression. True, A. sp. D52 is quite peaceful.

    Is a. sp d51 available for import ?

    Yes A. sp.D52 is a very different Apisto. Different from D51 that is. D 51 makes you think of uaupesi or flabellicauda or lineata. D52 is, well you could call it passive, that is my experience too. They stay in their hiding places/holes all day (and night?) D51 I would certainly not call passive...

    Is a. sp d51 available for import ?

    I read 'HE posted pictures.......... 'He' Newbie is me. You could have directed your comment to me and not the community. And of course no need to thank me. I sent you these pictures gladly. Indeed I incorrectly said pictures are of the A. sp. D52. But as I have both D51 en D52 I tend to...

    Utaka had young fish (F1, F2?) from a Dutch breeder who decided to stop breeding, for a while at least. I got mine from him too. Pictures showing the D52 are his. So credits for him. I have not been able to get pictures showing my own pair. They are extremely elusive and shy. The first weeks...

    Utaka, Amersfoort, The Netherlands had them 2 months ago. They were gone in a week. I have a pair but no fry yet.
