    Pencilfish identification

    These fishes are either Nannostomus (cf.) minimus, or Nannostomus marilynae. The two reddish oblique bands on your fish looks more like those on N. marilynae than on N. (cf.) minimus, but I can not from these photos say which one, as there is no good picture of the males' anal fin. The males of...

    Species ID from Youtube video I saw posted on another forum.

    I did not link to my own photos, but photos at Ivan Mikolji's site. Those photos have unfortunately been removed from his website, and what remains is only one photo of each sex of the A. cf. alacrina. They might be seen here...

    Apistogramma D47s

    The Apistogramma sp. "D47" is a beautiful fish! One of my wild males looked like this We collected them west of Puerto Inirida, Colombia, in the Rio Guaviare drainage, in February 2017. This was during the dry season, so the water was shallow, hot and very muddy. pH: 6,39 Conductivity...

    One of my apistogramma

    Yes, Frank, I noticed this too. But there I got the message :"This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location." If they cannot ship to Norway, will they ship to other countries?

    Okay to Add Apisto. to My Tank?

    I'm sorry to say so, but I see some reasons why you definitely should NOT add any Apistogramma to your tank, as it is right now. 1. You have Fluval Stratum Substrate Apistogramma belong to the tribe Geophagini, which means that they "eat earth". This is a very frequent and natural behavior...

    Rio Orinoco biotope questions

    @lexi: I had to change the address to my site from apisto.sites.no to tomc.no, because somebody hijacked the control over sites.no. That's why so many old links to my site don't work. I have changed some links to my site, and the links to photos in my own post, so here you are, especially for...

    After months waiting I got this: Flagcichlid

    I once spotted some beautiful Mesonauta in Yarina Cocha, a lake connected to the Río Pacaya in Amazonas, Peru . I don't know what they are doing, but there were a very peaceful atmosphere over the get-together! When your fishes show the dark markings, you may find out which species you have...

    A. atahualpa

    The A 176 is very similar to A. atahualpa, but it shows prominent cross stripes in the caudal fin. This form was imported into the USA by J. Melgar in 2001. I have never seen it.

    water parameters for resticulosa-complex?

    Some well-boiled egg yolk dissolved in a little water might also help them survive the very first days.

    New collecting reports

    Here you may have a look at the most recent list of species, lineages and groups I agree with you; the "Matses" are very beautiful! (although fairly aggressive!)

    Kiitos palautteesta! Ilo että pidit siitä! (No, unfortunately I do not speak Finnish. But I like "translate.google.com" :)) Hehe, yes, there are "a few" creatures, who love to eat parts of us, out there. :) I probably had the same kind of infestation in 2010, as in 2011: In 2010, apart from...

    Male or Female sp. D39???

    I'm sorry, but I don't see any females ... I've never seen a caudal fin with rows of spots, or with extended tips, in any female A. sp. "D39". This is a female in one of my tanks:

    Idenification update

    It would have been a dull world if we all liked the same thing! I like the D-numbers ( I invented them :) ). It would be difficult to find good names for all of the D1 to D56 which described unique traits or patterns; Not all species/forms have a unique gill spot! And it is important not to...
