    R/O system with permeate pump

    A permeate pump is only suggested if your water pressure is less than 60 psi. As pressure to the RO membrane goes down, the ratio of waster:ro water goes up. A permeate pump does not really reduce the amount of waste water... it brings the level of waste down to the 3-4:1 ratio it should be...

    WTB: C. guentheri guntheri or guntheri loennbergii

    Oops.... I made a mistake in my earlier statement. C. kingsleyae is the type species of the genus, so there is a change that the C. guentheri/regani/cavaliensis may some day be separated into a different genus... not the other way around.

    WTB: C. guentheri guntheri or guntheri loennbergii

    Hi Lonny, Adult C. guentheri grow larger than C. kingsleyae. The big difference is that the guentheri will usually mature at a smaller size and are not as aggressive (though I have had some very mean Gunther's before). C. guentheri, C. regani and C. cavaliensis are probably the only 'true'...

    identification

    Based upon the country of origin and the rows of spots along the lateral line, I am going to guess A. alacrina (aka sp. rotpunkt).

    Jewel Cichlid type locality question

    Steatocranus, except for irvinei which is probably going back into its orginal genus Gobiochromis when the Tilapini are revised, are Congo basin fish. There is a P. humilis, P. rubrolabiatus, P. roloffi and P. signatus all exported from the Kolente Forest region of Guinea. I do not know if...

    Jewel Cichlid type locality question

    You are not likely to find any kind of seine or collecting equipment over there. Even in Gabon, the wealthiest country in WA, we had a tough time locating broom sticks or shovel handles to attach to dip nets. Plan to take it all with you.

    How is "Apistogramma hoignei" pronounced ?

    If the name ends in 'i' or 'ae', then the fish is named after a person and should be pronounced in the way that person's name is pronounced. A. hoignei should be pronounced hoyn-eye (in the USA) or hoyn-eee (as the Europeans do).

    minimum light for breeding tank

    In my opinion, ambient room light is adequate, so long as there is enough light for the fish to forage and see each other. If you are using live plants in the tank, let their requirements be the deciding factor.

    Jewel Cichlid type locality question

    If you are willing to collect small distochodontines, the whole Neolebias genus is of interest to me. Nanocharax also. Small Barbus species would be nice to see as well. I am not sure is there are any B. jae types in that area, but as we learned in Gabon, just because the fish are not listed...

    Pencil fish are safe dithers?
