Apistogramma sp. & N. mortenthaleri in the Rio Nannay

[Grison]

Hello everybody,

I would like to know which species of Apistogramma have already been collected with N. mortenthaleri in the drainage of the Rio Nanay.

Thank you all.

Welcome to Toms Homepage

For what it's worth, that's a list with locations/ranges. You can use the word search to find all instances of Rio Nanay.

Nannostomus mortenthaleri – Coral Red Pencilfish ( Nannostomus marginatus mortenthaleri) — Seriously Fish

www.seriouslyfish.com

And as always seriouslyfish gives a hit too, under "Habitat".

Thank you MacZ, but on Tom's site (and seriouslyfish) it concerns the drainage of the Rio Tigre.

My question is specific to possible reports in the drainage of the Rio Nanay.

A. allpahuayo?; A. foconat and A. martini (both sympatric with N. mortenthaleri if I recall correctly)

Maybe reach out to Dr Anthony Mazeroll? Last we spoke he was trying to reproduce the pencil fish in ponds at his center in Peru. Pretty sure he could provide some first hand info on any Apistogramma bycatch.

Erm... Toms Page lists among others:


Just to name some. The hits on Tom's site limit the possibilities down and tell you what's even feasable.

IF you still want this exclusively combined with N. mortenthaleri, I'm indeed out of answers.

Mike Wise --> Thank you, I will take a closer look (A. feconat --> Rio Pucacuro area, so Tigre drainage).

Apistoguy52 --> Good idea, I will contact him, thank you.

MacZ --> Yes, I'm only looking for reliable sources for collecting N. mortenthaleri with Apistogramma in the Nanay drainage area.
