    Alder cones needed

    Im not sure if Alder trees are native to USA and Canada but if you get really stuck i could send some over from the UK, it would cost a bit though as they would make a fairly bulky package.. Let me know if you get really stuck.

    Dying fry

    Problems like this are almost always due to water quality, its easy to damage the fish with a couple of days without water changes and even when you resume a normal routine its quite often too late and the damage has been done, quite often the gills get damaged and the fish drop one by one, its...

    Hydra are not something ive ever had a problem with.. Several friends do have problems with them though. One uses the battery method and actually touches the hydra with the copper wire, this zaps them and kills them off.. The second uses apple snails and explained to me that they are...

    Peru Apisto Order...NO GOOD!

    Hi guys, sorry to hear of your misfortunes, ive got Apistos coming in from Peru tomorrow night so this thread makes me quite nervous at what to expect!! In my experience large scale losses are usually down to ammonia poisoning in the bags, the DOA's seen to indicate that the fish didnt...

    Apistogramma sp 'Kelleri'

    Ed, Tom, thank you for showing some kind of support, the sad thing is that it should not be needed, i initially started the thread and in the opening post clearly stated that the purpose of the thread was to gather together people who were keeping and breeding this interesting species, i even...

    Apistogramma sp 'Kelleri'

    Right firstly, are you a fishbreeder with any experience of genetics? if not, get off your high horse and calm down! If you re-read the posts above you will find that i have just sourced a second pair of wild Kelleri which just about makes me one of the only hobbiests in the UK with more...

    Apistogramma sp 'Kelleri'

    Id be interested to see how you would progress if only very limited numbers are available, if you received the only unrelated pair in your country, how would you establish them as a aquarium fish in your country??

    Apistogramma sp 'Kelleri'

    Its looking that way Mark.. Mostly males but there are one or two looking like females so fingers crossed for at least a couple of pairs of F1!!

    Sexing 1 Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi

    Id say that your fish is a male.. It was obviously sub dominant to the other male in the other tank!! Nice fish.

    Apistogramma sp 'Kelleri'

    A few pics of A.sp.'kelleri' juveniles, these fish are around 2 months old now and growing fast, most seem to be developing a lot of blue spangling so i would assume males?? only time will tell.

    Apisto. atahualpa

    The fish are definately sp.masken and not A.atahualpa.. Im currently breeding atahualpa and they are totally different, heres pics of genuine Apistogramma atahualpa. Tell Apisto Jim who you bought them from that he is completely wrong with his identification. Maybe direct him to this...
