    Back to Peru

    Back from an extended stay in Peru. This trip was unique in that we experienced things that I had not experienced in years of collecting. One of our party was stung by a stingray, one stepped on an electric eel and one was bitten by a piranha. Then we all came down with COVID thus extending my...

    Back to Peru

    If all goes well, which may be expecting a lot these days, I am returning to Peru on Friday. I have not been to northern Peru to collect for many years. The plan this time is to collect the drainage of the Mazan and Napo rivers. Will be on the river about a week then hopefully back home. Always...

    Here is another one

    You are correct. This was an off spring from some T-bars I collected in Peru. It's body was nearly white and was completely different from the other fish. I seperated him into his own tank after which, of course, he jumped out and died.

    Here is another one

    This makes me wish I had taken better records back in my early collecting days. I believe I brought this back from a early Peru collecting trip. May have been from the Rio Mazan but I'm not sure. Sorry about the picture quality.

    Help with ID

    I have been going through my archives and have come across photos of Apistos that I have doubts as to their ID. There are a number so I will submit them one at a time. This is a fish I obtained in 1986 from a small fish shop with no identification. No info on collecting site or other helpful...

    Spirulina enhanced brine shrimp

    Has anyone noticed any effect on fish colors with feeding spirulina enhanced brine shrimp over regular brine shrimp?

    I did it….

    My experience was like Mike's. Lot's of fun looking through the "mixed Apistos" to find something that was not bitaeniata. Also there were more Mom and Pop stores that would get interesting stock. Hard to find those now.

    A. sp. "Abacaxis" parasites?

    White stringy poop is a pretty nonspecific symptom. A number of different parasites can cause this. A common parasite that can infect a stressed wild fish or in fact any stressed fish is hexamita. Instead of guessing and giving medications that may or not be the correct one, consider getting an...

    Fish collecting trip

    For your first trip definitely a company. They can take care of things you never even thought about. Do not try to bring your fish home with you. Possible in the past but now very problematic no matter what the regulations on importing fish for your private use are. Depends entirely on the...
