    A. diplotaenia "Barcelos"

    Hi DaRe, its the location where they are found.. A.diplotaenia are a very rarely seen dwarf cichlid and most are wild caught, they can be found in different sections of various rivers and wherever possible its nice to label the fish with the collecting locality. Only those fish that are...

    Pencil fish are safe dithers?

    Nice Video Ted.. As a breeder of N.marginatus i did chuckle at this one.. It will teach the macmasteri to hide their spawn a bit better next time. Ideal way of conditioning the pencilfish though! Thanks for sharing, i enjoyed that.

    WTB: Taeniacara candidi / Apistogramma cacatuoides

    This is more and more of a problem online... Too many cheap hobbiests looking for cheap Apistos when they know nothing of the hard work involved in raising fry to a sellable size.. One of my pet hates online and increasingly common!

    Taeniacara candidi.. A close shave!

    Taeniacara candidi is a very rare little cichlid which does not pop up on a regular basis, i first started looking for this species around 7-8 years ago and got lucky around 2008 when Mark Breeze went to Holland on a fish shopping trip and bought some back, i bought a pair and have had them in...

    A77 - Apistogramma eunotus 'Tailstripes'

    First this rarely seen fish circles the female who is in place in her breeding cave and is in the process of laying eggs, she has already blocked some of the entrance with sand rendering it impassable to the male! The Male gets closer and weighs up his options!! A quick glance in and...

    Gold viejita

    I do agree wethumbs but i think that you need to clarify your statement, it is certainly not the actual food that you feed that produces such deformaties!! ive fed tons of microworm and only feed live foods, ive never had a problem with defective ventrals. Are you sure the overfeeding of live...

    Gold viejita

    Nice picture Chris, however these 'man made' strains are generally pretty weak, the fish in your picture has a defective ventral fin which is typical for these line bred strains. We have this gold morph here in the UK and im just starting out on working at strengthening the line i have by...

    Hello from Cornwall UK

    Hi Panaque, welcome to Apistogramma.com, there is no better dwarf cichlid forum in the world! For a UK based site with many members interested in dwarfs maybe you should also check out the British cichlid association? We can be found here.. http://www.britishcichlid.org.uk/

    Apistogramma sp 'veilfleck' spawning.

    Hi all, a group of these fish were imported from Brazil by a Uk shop as A.assuruni.. Myself and plenty of BCA members were very interested to see exactly what they were although we were expecting A.sp 'veilfleck'.. They were this species and myself and several other BCA members bought pairs for...
