    Going to Germany and Glasers of course

    Hi Dave, Very sad indeed to hear about the death of Frank Wilhelm. I hadnt met Frank but the fish i received from him(and Nadja) via Uwe have been superb specimens. Some superb breeding achievements during his work with Apistogramma. I think i know of the fish that "Everyone will be...

    Sexing Biotoecus opercularis

    Hi Curtis, You can actually sex B opercularis as quite young/juvenile specimens before any extensions to the finnage has developed. On the dorsal fin there is a horizontal row of white/light blue markings or spots almost immediately above the point where the fin is attatched to the...

    Getting rid of snails without killing plants

    I put 8 snail eating snails(Anentome helena) in my very well planted 360Ltr Discus tank to combat a snail problem and i must say that the results have been outstanding. I now have no visible snails to speak of and as an added bonus the Anentome helena have been rather prolific in the breeding...

    Biotoecus sp. "Rio Tapajos"

    Ive just got hold of the same fish from Glasers imported as B.sp."Tapajos"and they do indeed look different to the B opercularis that i have had, and bred many times, in the past. Fish look much more elongated and dorsal fin looks much higher when displaying. Colour of paired finnage is also...

    "maulbruter/mouthbrooder"=barlowi

    It also occurs when the brood is relatively large. Ive had broods of between 30-45 larvae(A large brood for A barlowi)that have been split almost equally between male/female. Mark...

    Glaser Fish and Stocklist specials

    What i find a little frustrating is the fact that a quality importer for the wholesale trade cannot put a correct ID on these fish with the wealth of knowledge that must be available to them. When you purchase regularly and are getting fish that are often mis-identified it can get rather...

    Glaser Fish and Stocklist specials

    Yes Chris, Cracking is a term used in the UK for Very Good or Excellent. You are quite correct... Much better IDs from Glasers than from many SA exporters. Mark...

    Glaser Fish and Stocklist specials

    Hi Chris, I use Glasers on a monthly basis and import Apistos into the UK via work. We have ordered Juruensis on many many occasions and have never been sent the true Juruensis. Generally Blackchin and often even Cacs.... Would it be possible to post a pic of the Juruensis and if they...

    Magic moments in the Amazon

    Hi Steve, Funnily enough when i was recently visiting Norway Tom and i were talking about your Pacaya Samira cac pictures. I mentioned to Tom that the pictures were of the fish he gave me and he was amazed just how different the fish looked in your pictures than in his aquaria. Those...

    Need help

    Definately not "Schwarzbrust" or eunotus variant.... Its regani group and i would go with Mikes ID of A sp Masken. >Is it even a proper ID there? I dont understand what you mean.... If you mean the ID on Toms site then you are looking at possibly the most up to date site on the web as far...

    Wild Cacatuoides spawn

    Hi Steve, "Quote" the only report into this kind of behaviour that i have read is from Norberti so its interesting to watch.. This behaviour is seen amongst many different Apistos and as we speak i have A sp Abacaxis(A228) doing the same. The males are generally not as good with their...
