    Apistogramma Cruzeiro "jurua'

    I kept and successfully bred this species some time ago. I did find them a relatively difficult species to breed however in very soft(10ppm) and acidic water(pH 5-5.5) which is high in tannic/humic acids,temp 78-79c they should do well. I had good clutches of viable eggs at these parameters. I...

    Electric blue rams

    Some pics of these fish on Glasers news page here: www.aquarium-glaser.de/en/news.php Parents are typical for M ramirezi and will eat eggs/fry. I removed my first 2 batches of eggs to hatch artificially and am growing on in a small 12" by 6" by 6" plastic food container. Another batch was...

    I have a group of 5 of these fish, 2male/3female, and already have 100s of free swimming fry. In the UK they are selling at approx £10-£15 each and both sexes are readily available over here. I think they will keep a relatively high price tag in the short term, Glasers were selling them at...

    Nannacara aureocephalus

    Toms fish were imported into the UK as wild N sp."Sourourou"(Aureocephalus) quite some time ago, a good 12-18 months ago now...

    Apistogramma elizabethae question

    I dont think they are found in the Ucayali Dave as thats in Peru.... Dont you mean the Rio Uaupes and Icana systems, upper Rio Negro, Brazil. Ive got a few nice pairs that reproduce relatively easily and i am slowly getting them distributed to hobbyists throught the UK. Wild imports are now...

    Please identify these wild apistos!!!

    The body shape of Apisto 3 looks almost too slender for it to be A cf.pertensis, dorsal fin is also quite high in comparison. This fish could be the true A pertensis??? Difficult from the pic though.... Mark
