Thanks for your responses, I really appreciate it. Gives me a lot to work with and consider before going.
With the state of international travel now due to COVID, this will probably shape up to be a 2021 trip - which will give us more time to prepare tanks, logistics, etc.
Can anyone...
Hi all,
I have some questions about fish collecting trips in the Amazon, as a friend and I are planning one in 2020 or 2021. I'd love to hear back from those of you who have experience.
Would you recommend a fish-collecting tour through a private company, or do you prefer to do each part of...
I like a dark tint myself, but this is ridiculous. I can't see more than 6" into the tank.
I haven't checked my water parameters since adding the wood, but right beforehand I was at 6.8 pH, water at 21 C (haven't put in my heater yet), dH is around 130 ppm, and kH is 80 ppm. Planned stock is...
Hey all,
I'm setting up a new tank (40 gal breeder) and have had it cycling for about a week or so. I have not added anything beyond sand, rocks, and lots of driftwood. My driftwood is ironwood (Olneya tesota), a very, very dense hardwood from the desert Southwest. I've soaked it with daily...
Anybody have experience keeping Centromochlus perugiae (oil/honeycomb catfish) with apistos? They remain small (5-6 cm) and are apparently surface feeders, which bodes well for apisto fry. SeriouslyFish suggests that they are "safe with all but the smallest of fry." Do you think a single...
Could we add a category to the threads for fish collecting trips? It seems at least a few members of this community have been to the amazonian region specifically to collect fish (or simply on vacation and caught fish on the side!). I think this would be a great place to share experiences and...
I'm new to apistos (not to fishkeeping), and am in the process of getting a 40-gallon breeder (36x18x16") set up for Apistogramma cacatuoides. I've done quite a bit of research on the forums and I would first like to thank everybody on here for contributing. There is a vast wealth of knowledge...
Thanks Gerald. Your thesis sounds interesting as well! I enjoy microfishing the clear water Ozark streams in Missouri - it's a great way to get some cool shiners for the aquarium.
And thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it.
Hey all,
To introduce myself, I'm a grad student pursuing a Masters degree in wildlife biology. My thesis is focused on (1) population dynamics and (2) dietary comparisons among gars (Lepisosteus spp.) in Missouri.
I'm new to apistos, but have a good deal of experience in fishkeeping. I'm...
