    Porn spam

    Mine also came from Tango who was a member from 2005 and only posted twice then. Seems the spammers are sending PMs as Tom suggested... Mark...

    A new Apisto species: Apistogramma barlowi

    Looking at the distribution of A barlowi in the Rio Ampiyacu/Yaguasyacu drainage near to Pebas, Peru i personally find it difficult to believe that A barlowi has been collected on the Brazilian side of the border. Nothing fails to amaze with Apistogramma though..... Mark...

    My Barlowi "mouthbrooder" family

    Theres alot of conflicting information regarding this black marking. Ive seen it on numerous occasions on A barlowi(males and females)and this is a species that does seem particularly susceptible. I was also told that the markings were due to disturbance of the calcium metabolism which...

    Nannostomus sp...ID Please...

    You can see some of these yourself soon Tom.... I will bring a few over with me. If these are from the auction Steve they were actually imported as N nitidus but when they arrived from Glasers there was a fair mix of species within the shipment. I too thought N cf digrammus after recently...

    Pelvicachromis Rubrolabiatus

    Theres been a few imports of these along with quite a few other nice wild Pelvicachromis species imported into the UK recently via Glasers(Germany). Our first import of rubrolabiatus was all female but fortunately we got mostly males a week later in the next shipment. Cracking looking fish...

    ID help required....A.Regani?

    Hi Steve, Now these have matured i certainly dont think they are the true A regani. These have been widely available under the name A regani "Caparari" and to be honest i have not bothered to take pics and id them correctly. Pleased you have done so..... Mark...

    A. baenschi gill cover defect

    Hi, Apisto baenschi are widely available in the UK from nearly all dwarf cichlid breeders and have been for some time. They are also on nearly every import list that i see on a weekly basis and are not rare in the trade or the hobby. £15.00 UK pounds is somewhere near right for a pair of A...

    Biotoecus sp.'Tapajos'

    These Biotoecus sp Tapajos are not a fragile species from my experience if conditions are to their liking. I am not losing fish but my water conditions will most likely be alot more acidic,pH4.5-pH5.0,and softer than Eds beautifully planted tank. They do also appreciate the addition of peat or...

    Apistogramma eremnopyge "fresa"

    Yes my fish indeed... A eremnopyge have been in the UK for a good few years since its first importation into the UK in 2003 and its a species that i have had in my aquaria and bred on many occasions. Your fish are F1 from wild... pretty poor pic of the parents below. Mark...

    adding leaves

    Yes no problem at all just adding them to the tank... I too feel that boiling the leaves is unnecessary and as Beleg says you want the tannic acids leaching into your aquaria rather than the pot. I do however have oak leaves and alder cones soaking at all times and use the oak/alder extract to...

    Which Apisto to Breed

    The majority who have recently had A sp "Erdfresser" in the UK found them to be a relatively easily bred species requiring no special water parameters. My pair bred in a small 9 UK gallon/18"-12"-12" tank in moderately soft water with a pH<6. Mark...

    Hey Kevin, I should have thought of A piauiensis as i have them in my aquaria also. A really stunning and colourful species... Pics of my pair... Mark...

    Biotoecus sp.'Tapajos'

    Nice looking tank they have gone into there Ed... You wont be able to tell sexes from those pics and at such a small size(3/4" TL) the only way to sex them is to look at the horizontal row of blue spots running along lower part of the dorsal. Spots are broken in males and merge into one another...

    female A. sp. Miua

    Ive also given Mark the bad news Mike... Suffice to say we are both gutted as i had a breeding tank waiting for my pair to go in this next weekend. This is a species not seen in the UK so females are not easy to come by but the importer has told Mark we will get some in the near future from his...

    an ID please!!

    Neither this fish or the one in the Two Fish Guys pic are A cruzi.... Hard to call without seeing black markings/caudal etc but my guess is eunotus complex and either A cf eunotus "Schwanzstreifen/Tailstripes" or A sp "Schwarzbrust". Out of interest are these fish Czech bred as i have seen very...

    Dwarfs for tank with shrimp.

    Well Ed the Biotoecus sp Tapajos i have are certainly not large enough to predate upon adult Cherry/ Crystal Red etc etc I have kept Biotoecus for a few years now and i dont think they are anywhere near as agressive as Apisto species. Im sure they would be fine.... Mark...

    Decapsulated BS Eggs for First Fry Food?

    "Quote Jose-Vogel" It seems you didn´t follow the standard procedures for decapsulating brine shrimp. "Quote" I think the eggs were already decapsulated and only required rehydrating with water prior to feeding..... Ive lost newly hatched fry due to feeding decapsulated brine shrimp...
