    Apistogramma baenschi spawning.

    Are most of the fish in Singapore tank bred? are there any shops or individuals who deal in wild fish? A.baenschi are often for sale from Peruvian wholesalers/exporters.. Maybe you should try to find a company that brings in a lot of wild fish and make some enquiries..

    New Section Idea

    Hi Nate, Teds just trimmed down that section because it was filled with online retailers that simply didnt last the distance.. Many online sellers dont last more than a year or two for one reason or another.. The old section was filled with retailers that didnt update stock lists or simply sold...

    pelvicachromis taeniatus dehane questions

    Its entirely possible for them to spawn again while there are fry still in the tank, on occasions that its happened to me the female is very defensive of the new fry and views the older fry as a threat, it always best to get them out asap if a second spawn is spotted. The four pairs of...

    Wild Microgeophagus ramerizi..

    My observations back that up Mike, ive noticed that they like to defend their territory and are far more prolific when kept in large groups, almost like the behaviour of central American cichlids in a way, they choose a spawning site and have to defend it from all the surrounding fishes, mine...

    Wild Microgeophagus ramerizi..

    Ive bred Rams for many years, ive done the whole biotope aquarium setup and have great sets of pictures of Rams spawning and raising fry, quite often the offspring would then be removed to bare growout tanks and at around 3-4 months of age they would start to defend the corners(Easiest place to...

    Wild Microgeophagus ramerizi..

    I love Rams.. They are a beautiful fish and im sure many people have never seen wilds in the flesh, there are so many strains available now and very few of those are a improvement on the wild fish. Last month i imported a box of rams direct from Columbia and was pleasantly suprised by the...

    Shipping Weather

    Fish like these are expensive as they are often found in remote locations and are only ever collected in small amounts. Traders like aquaticclarity take huge financial risks in bringing in select specimens from the wild and also need to make a living! They are not that expensive if you know what...

    Thanks for sharing.. Very interesting and a great read. Another to add to my collection. I have a question to the more experienced hobbiests. Why is this species (Discovered last year) described so quickly and species such as sp 'Broadband' are still undescribed even after spending 30-40...

    Hi, im also in the UK, there have been several imports of European bred fish in the last few months, they were available at high prices and were still fairly small, i didnt check the sexes but assume they would be difficult, a group to ensure both sexes would cost you aprox £200 in the UK...
