    Collecting net

    Collectors out there, what color of net do you use? On my last collecting trip I used a dark brown net instead of the usual white one thinking it would not scare the fish as much. I'm not convinced this theory worked out. It did make it harder to see the fish in the net among all the litter.

    looking for someone who is breeding dwarf cichlids I the Arzoina area

    Currently I have A. luelingi, miuá, an unidentified apisto from southern Peru that I think may be an urteagai color morph and an unidentified apisto from a southern tributary of the Rio Heath between Peru and Bolivia. The last two await DNA analysis. The luelingi are old enough to sell, the...

    A. hoignei?

    I've collected A. guttata twice. In fact if you look at Ivan Mikolji's web site he has a video of the Rio Morichal Largo at the exact location that I collected. The wild fish is much more stunning than any of the pictures that I have seen published. Ivan confirmed to me the information mixmixi...

    A. payaminonis

    Have people found this species to be particularly delicate? Of all the apistos I have kept, I have not found one as eager to die as this one. At first I thought it was water changes that triggered the deaths. But now I change water very slowly and still there is the occasional death. None of my...

    Opinions appreciated

    Thanks Mike for your response. I also thought that species 1 was urteagai. This is at least the third color form I have collected. Overall this species is much more attractive than the pictures in the various books. As for species 2, I understand your reasoning. I did not have an idea as to...

    Opinions appreciated

    These are two fish which I collected this past summer. I have an opinion on what they are but would like to hear other opinions. This first fish was collected in a northern tributary of the Rio Madre de Dios west of Puerto Maldonado. At the site the adult males were around 3 inches long and...

    Christmas came early this year

    Have you noticed that your apistos spawn when storms come through? Over the years it has seemed that I get more spawns during the winter storms.

    Collecting.....

    In 1988 I was collecting in a small stream in an agricultural research station on the road east out of Jenaro Herrera on the way to kilometer 14 to try to catch some nijsseni. Out of that small stream I collected agassizi of several different colors. I remember catching the common blue form...

    Sex ratios and temperature

    I am aware of the effect of temperature on sex ratios. However, there seems to be some confusion, maybe just in my mind, about whether the temperature effect is when the eggs are laid or the temperature in which the fry are raised. What is the current thought?

    What a tremendous fish. I don't think the man made color types can hold a candle to these natural colored fish.

    Apistogramma miua'

    The water parameters are pH 4.8 TDS 110 Temp 76º F 24º C . I use RO water only. No mixing with tap water. Mike, the fish you sent had a huge spawn. Then most died after a water change. Not sure what happened there since none of my other fish were affected. Then the female got a mouth...
