    Apistogramma from Colombia

    Thank you! So there's nothing distinctive to identify it as A. lineata or otherwise? How are the 6 species/forms distinguished from each other?

    Apistogramma from Colombia

    Any of these photos help? They're not all of the same fish, snapped what I could from the tank containing 10 fish that came in as 5 pairs of Apistogramma lineata

    Apistogramma from Colombia

    Cool thank you! I'll head down to the importer's facility with my camera sometime this week to try and get some shots. Anything in particular I should make sure that I capture?

    Apistogramma from Colombia

    Is it not unusual to have an apisto from Colombia with that tail shape and spikey front dorsal rays? I thought they all had smooth sailfin dorsals

    Apistogramma from Colombia

    I recently ordered some Apistogramma lineata from a Colombia shipment, as they have been particularly hard to find here in Singapore. The fish are still at the importer's facility so I don't have good pictures, but the importer just sent me a video of 2 males flaring at each other. What...

    Question about A. Bitaeniata Mamuri

    What conspecifics would be biotope accurate for this locality?

    TDS

    Most RO remineralizers include K, Mg and Can but not the other ions. Would dripping in some comprehensive plant fertilizer like Seachem Flourish put these ions back in the water in a form that is available to the fish?

    Rio Negro biotope for Ivanacara adoketa

    Lots of changes to this tank! Everything except the I. adoketa succumbed to a serious bout of white spot, and I removed the Glaser juveniles as well to replace them with a trio of wild caught I. adoketa adults. Also added some Otocinclus sp. to replace the bristlenoses and some Nannostomus...

    Ivanacara Adoketa

    Very lovely tank Darrel! I'm trying to convert my I. adoketa tank into a riparium too, once I get the supplies Currently, I'm growing H. tenellus, E. oparcus, E. ozelot and C. helferi in my blackwater I. adoketa tank with root tabs and they are doing well.

    How identified the sex of male and female Biotoecus opercularis

    I managed to get what was IDed by the shopkeeper as a pair of Biotoecus opercularis (adults) last month in Hong Kong. The male is a very obvious male, displaying extended pelvic fin, more elongated body shape and the row of dots clearly on the dorsal. No streamers on the caudal fin, though...

    Sounds like a great plan! Thanks Mike :)

    Repashy Superfoods

    Thanks Mike! I try to maintain their micro-predatory instincts by providing them with live Malayan shrimp at least once every 2 weeks, and adult brine shrimp whenever I can get them from the LFS. Other than that I feed NLS Thera+A formula. My tank is currently very dimly lit with mulm but...

    Repashy Superfoods

    I'm thinking of trying out the Repashy line of gel foods for my dwarf cichlids (Ivanacara adoketa, Biotoecus opercularis and Dicrossus foirni), but am not sure which formula is most suitable for them. I've so far tried the Spawn & Grow with mixed results (the I. adoketa definitely don't attack...

    Rio Negro biotope for Ivanacara adoketa

    Thank you for your feedback Mike! The effect I was trying to create was a stream edge, where grass and other semi-submerged plants from above ground line the edges of the stream and "spill over" into the water. Hence, I used Helianthus tenellus to emulate the "grass effect" and Cyperus sp. and...

    Rio Negro biotope for Ivanacara adoketa

    Thanks so much for your help Darrel :) It's not easy finding information on Ivanacara adoketa's habitat. There's barely any information on the Internet, and Cichlid Atlas 1 gives only limited information. It may not be very visible from the pictures, but I've planted the tank with Cyperus...

    Rio Negro biotope for Ivanacara adoketa

    Anyone has any advice on long term tankmates for an I adoketa biotope breeding setup? I will soon have access to Nannostomus eques and Nannostomus trilineatus. Also have access to many species of corydoras, if appropriate.
