What species should I look for and where? Any and all inks to collection locations for the Dwarves found there will be appreciated! Are there areas of Guyana that still need a proper survey?
Thanks,
Brian
This is going to be an incredible adventure.

7 days on a largely unknown stretch of this beautiful river in S. Peru. The last collecting effort there was when the Pecks traveled 3 days upriver. We intend to spend 7 days there and get as many as 5 DAYS...
Cameroon question
Ted,
Thank you. I'll look forward to hearing what you find out. I am wanting to get down to the border areas with Gabon and inland somewhat (Sangmelima and south and east of there. My main interests are with the Killies, characins and barbs, but the P. taeniatus fish hold a...
Cameroon question
Ted,
I had been contemplating a trip to Cameroon for 2011, but was told that the country had shut down all animal exports. Were you able to bring fish back with you, or have them shipped? Feel free to PM me if you prefer, I'd be interested to hear about your experience...
As a Happy New year present to my clients, the Wilkinson's, I have just now posted a photo travelogue of their trip with us in July of 2009 in search of Dw. cichlids of the Madre de Dios region.

Punctulatum
Mike,
Thanks. I was pretty convinced that it is C. punctulatum or near to it as soon as it came up in the net. Now that I look at the photos, they both look to be males.... Finger crossed. I can go back there again easily enough and look again for females if need be.
Best...
Recollection of Crenicara in Madre de Dios
All,
I successfully re-collected a Crenicara I referred to earlier on this forum yesterday! I found this fish in a place where I´d collected many times before and never seen it, until now. They are not common. I only collected three and I have...
I am leading a surveying/collection expedition to the Rio Parimanu scheduled for the June/ July 2010 timeframe. This river has never been fished before. What we need to round out the group is a “Pleco guyâ€, and an “Apisto/ Dw. Cichlid- person†who wants to be in the group of people to...
Great trip!
Yes, I am very excited at the propects for this region. Still many places lacking a systematic survey of the fishes living there. Many places have never, to my knowledge, seen a net...... Surf to my website in a month or so (see my sig) I keep a blog there. Photos of what we find...
Dicrossus in Peru
Guys,
I will be back in that same spot in July and will see about finding and photographing them. My clients this time out are specifically looking for Dwarf cichlids, so they will be very interested in getting into them too. They were not super abundant, but they are...

8" box). I always call U.S. Fish and Wildlife at least 24 hours ahead regardless of what carrier I use. (USPS, Fedex, Air Cargo, etc.) they know me pretty well since I've been shipping and...
