    apistogramma erythrura

    My erythrura are not particularly aggressive. They do not need a big tank.

    Erythrura color forms

    Does anyone know if the different color forms of A. erythrura breed true? I have collected 3 forms. The red caudal, blue caudal, and the colorless caudal. Since they are collected in the same area and all the females look alike I have not been able to set up reliable pairs of each form.

    Smallest tank size

    Yes I remember Fontaine. Only source of Apistos when I started out. Even though it is not a perfect size, I have used 5.5 gal aquariums for several different apistos and they successfully spawned. A little crowding seems to spread out the aggression.

    Vacation Care

    I have left my fish for 10 days without a problem. Two weeks is pushing things. Having someone else feed your fish often turns out bad.

    Sexing A erythrura

    Not all A. erythrura have red caudals. Some have a faint blue and others have colorless caudals. I have collected all three types from the wild.

    Need Solutions for powering multiple sponge filters in (3) tanks

    You might check Jehmco.com if you haven't already. Like Mike I use a linear piston pump and have had many years of quiet trouble free service. They also have some serious diaphragm pumps for smaller setups.

    Wild caught Apisto ID needed please

    I would like to see more of the black markings but they look to probably be urteagai.

    Looks like the rubrolineata I collected.

    7 day holiday, what to do?

    If only for seven days the fish will be fine without food. Much more dangerous letting someone else feed them.

    All my tanks have a black background. No problems.

    Question about leaves

    I live in the Arizona desert too. I get my oak leaves up in the Flagstaff area.

    Brine shrimp cultures

    Several people in this area do this and they claim a higher hatch rate and fewer culture crashes. I had not heard of it before.

    Does anyone add a drop or two of chlorine bleach to a liter of their bbs culture?

    Help with led light

    Thanks for the reply. I got a replacement PS from Finnex and soldered it into place. Works well.

    Nijsenni and Panduro

    Ah, blue algae (actually blue-green). I think that may be a key to the dark blue fish we catch in the wild. The sp. Pebas and urteagi are examples of two that were both caught in cow pastures that were rich in blue green algae. Once in our aquariums they tend to fade. Strangely at least to me...

    Uncertain on Apisto Safe Food

    Darrel that is very impressive that you have kept a blackworm culture going for 5 years. Do you mind telling us how you do it? I have always failed to keep a culture going.

    Uncertain on Apisto Safe Food

    I have fed my apistos frozen bloodworms and frozen adult brine shimp for years. I have not recognized any problems and the fish have done well. I would stay away from live black worms. The fish always develop problems if I feed those worms.

    Where to find aquarium safe clay pots

    I get my pots at a crafts store. Simple and cheap. My fish like the smallest ones and I just enlarge the hole at the bottom just enough so the female can get in.

    New guy with 30-40 Linkei fry

    The linkei fry will do well on baby brine shrimp . Dry food at this stage will probably not be successful.

    We did collect Apisto trifasciata

    When I described the fish we collected in Bolivia last summer I mentioned that most were quite small and difficult if not impossible to identify. Once the fish were home in our aquariums for awhile my collecting partner noticed some fish that he thought may be trifasciata in with a large group...
