    Unknown plant?

    I found GYMNOCORONIS SPILANTHOIDES on this Swedish wholesaler-site.. Nr. 097.1486.... Is it the same?? I don`t know for sure.. It may be.. Many(most ?) plants for aquatic use are normaly/often found growing above the watersurface ..in nature.. They are then put in humid farmhouses, and also...

    Hi again... The flagellates are a quite tough to get rid off as it is.... But one more thing.... I get some bad suspicions about your gravel/sand.. It looks calcareous.. This may cause high pH + other effects/reactions when medicating..????? Maybe it creates some xtra problems for the healing...

    Maybe the loss of your Apistos may be due to internal flagellates.. in the stomach/digesting-system..(this is often the most common health problem with Apistos..) Then they often move in a S-shaped movement along the sand , as you are mentioning.. and they also becomes thinner around the belly...

    Apistogramma in Brazil

    I can recommend this one!!!:) A. sp. "Xingu" (Vielfleck- Assurini) in my pics!! There is one other "Vielfleck" on the market sometimes , often just called A sp."Vielfleck" !! (Vielfleck - "Many spots" in German!!) http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwapisto&1453573829

    Apisto Kelleri 'Diamond'

    Hi cicrush13 + all.. In your pics..., to me it looks like you`ve got A. cf.ortegai (Pebas ?) or some other closely related species.. They are not very fussy about the pH, so pH 6-7 + relatively low kH should be OK.. (Any "normal" planted aquarium with "mature" water in process should do..)...

    New member looking for apistos!

    Hi Paislee + all.. I guess it depends on where you are located!!!?? A. cacatouides are often found in most Stores(in Europe!!)..or may be easily ordered if you ask them.. In Europe we also have got several options via some/a few well-stocked Local Fish Stores (they may order from German...

    Sad to hear about the gender issue...:( One of our local wholesaler have got them on their list at the moment.. But I must get a tank ready first..
