    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.

    Fish collecting trip

Other places on the site he has wonderful videos of Apistos and rams in their natural habitat as well as other fish and orchids. I have been to some of these same areas and collected...

    New collecting reports

    Two wonderful reports. The photos are remarkable. Your report of the chiggers reminds me of when I was collecting in Venezuela and took a break from Apisto collecting and went to the Gran Sabana to collect killifish. There we experienced a biting gnat called jejen or La Plaga. Never have I...

    Any reason I shouldn't feed Northfin Betta Bits, and other questions.

    I have had some success with Hikari Vibra Bites and freeze dried tubifex. Also luck with Repashy Bottom Scratcher. However, the only apistos that will eat these are my erythrura. None of the others are interested.
