    Pencilfish ID..?

    Steve/Mike, If these are the fish i got in a couple of years ago they came into the UK via Glasers as wild N.nitidus, single shipment, not mixed. Had 2 shipments of "Nitidus" from Germany at different times that looked like different species. No collection information at all.... Mark...

    Apistogramma sp 'Kelleri'

    Hi Mark, I understand that you, better than most, know of the fishes true origins but many on here are not fully aware. Reading your post made its geographical location a little misleading for those who do not fully understand its true origins. If i hadnt mentioned it Mark i can...

    Apistogramma sp 'Kelleri'

    Mark, The fish Mimbon are bringing in are from Leticia, not Jutai, as originally stated in 2009 by the fisherman who collected them. He has now stated they are collected from Leticia. It seems like you chaps in the Netherlands are having similar problems that many people over here initially had...

    Live from the Amazon jungle: First catches in 2010

    Both Tom and i thought these might have been a less colourful population of A.sp.Masken but when you see them in the flesh theres something slightly different about them. I dont have these fish to look at now but i cannot remember seeing the highly irridescent rows of scales above the lateral...

    Live from the Amazon jungle: First catches in 2010

    As you folks can see from the pics i look a little bit wet....Its very difficult to catch Apistos in Peru with a camera,ph meter and pen in hand so i favour a net. I too smoke roll-ups but due to the humidity you end up lighting them 20 or so times each ciggie so i prefer a cheap Peruvian...

    Live from the Amazon jungle: First catches in 2010

    Well Mike when i had the fish in my hand out here i didnt believe they were A.luelingi despite Tom saying they may be but after reading Koslowski it certainly seems that they are.... A beautiful fish and a great addition to the hobby if we can get them home ok. Steve, Many more fish to bring...

    Hydra in fry tank

    Hi Darrel, I must admit that i feed BBS quite heavily in my Apisto grow out tanks and as a result i have hydra quite frequently. This method of eradication has been very successful for me with Apistogramma, Microgeophagus sp.,Biotoecus and Dicrossus sp. as the young have not been...

    Hydra in fry tank

    I use a 6volt battery with copper wires attached to both positive and negative terminals. Place positive wire in tank at one end, negative at the other end and leave for 30mins-1hour, longer may be required as it is dependent upon tank size. You will rapidly see the hydra die off.... The...

    Apistogramma sp Amapá

    I had a group of these from Uwe about 18 months ago and despite their ease of maintenance i found them to be some of the most agressive Apistos i have ever kept,especially the males. Despite having 2-3 trios i have not had any luck with breeding either. Uwe mentioned their agressive tendencies...
