    Buying Apistogramma steindachneri

    Looking to buy some A. steindachneri. As I get older I'm getting nostalgic for some of the old under appreciated classics. I would like to get a pair if possible.

    5 gallon tanks for pair breeding?

    I got my apistos from Fontaine back in the day. Also used the techniques he recommended so I too have bred apistos in 5 gal tanks. Still do in a pinch.

    Fish Collecting Questions

    I agree with most of what Mike says. I would consider a Puerto Maldonado based trip since the apistos you would get there are never available otherwise. An Iquitos based trip offers a lot as well. Make certain you are informed about the facilities available for holding the fish and what...

    pH probe keeps drying out

    I've had the same problem. After replacing several probes I changed to an American Marine Pinpoint pH meter for use at home and only use my Hanna when on collecting trips.

    two questions in one - Geophagus sp. Alto Sinu condition for keeping and wc gbr

    I collected Rams in Venezuela. Three collection sites. Ph 6.4, 6.7, 5.8 TDS 90 ppm, 110 ppm, 30 ppm Temp 86°F, 91°F, and I did not get the temp of the third site. The wild Rams we get now are from Colombia but these water parameters give you some idea of the water they live in.

    Re-location to Peru, Dwarf cichlid queries

    In that area I collected A. luelingi, urteagai, and rubrolineata. Some of the urteagai were very striking. I don't ever see these fish offered for sale. Don't have any idea about commercial aspects.

    Why are Apistogramma steindachneri unpopular ?

    In the 1980's I bought steindachneri that were called wickleri. They were larger than the more common steindachneri. Also I believe they came from Guyana, Venezuela, and Surinam.
