    Nearly packed

    This is low water time in Bolivia and near by Peru. Certainly collecting trips start out with one set of plans which often get thrown out when you arrive. I understand that currently there are restrictions on buying gasoline as a way of dealing with the illegal gold mining. However, every trip...

    Nearly packed

    In about a week I will be down in Peru and Bolivia on a collecting trip. Packing is always a concern. Almost everything that you need must be taken with you but you need to keep the weight down and have room for fish. I will be trying to get to places that are rarely collected. May be able to...

    A. miua spawning

    My A. miua female just brought out her batch of free swimming fry. Water parameters are pH 4.5, TDS 120 ppm, and temp 78 degrees F. I thought early on that it was difficult to tell the sexes apart. I did not see much sexual dimorphism. The male had more orange on the face and the anal fin had...

    Sores on mouth

    One of my fish has developed ulcerating sores on her mouth. Although she is still eating she doesn't move her lips much. I started treating her with erythromycin. Any other ideas? I don't see signs of fungus.

    Measuring pH in soft water

    It is sometimes difficult to get a good reading of pH with a meter such as the Hanna in soft water. I have heard that the situation can be improved by adding a little NaCl to the water. When I do this , the pH changes. Is this a legitimate way to more accurately measure the pH?

    Thank you, Ted Judy

    Not sure I understand. Are you putting the peat in the cave loose or in a bag? Does the peat get out into the tank?

    New Apisto description : Apistogramma helkeri

    Tom C's web page is always a good place to find new and interesting info. Looking at it today I see pictures of A. guttata. This is one of my Holy Grail fish. I collected them in 1997 and 1999 in the location pictured below. This spot on the Rio Morichal Largo was an idyllic spot in a river that...

    Help with ID

    I obtained this fish a few years ago from one of the exporters in Iquitos. He wouldn't say where it was caught. He only had a few specimens. Could it be cf.cruzi or cinilabra? Sorry if I posted the pictures incorrectly. Had a difficult time figuring this out.

    Black Beard Algae

    I have had good luck with true Siamese Algae Eaters when they are young. They clean up the black beard algae very well. However as they get older, they don't like the algae as well as other food.

    Apistogramma sp "Rio Mamore" or A.maciliensis?

    You are correct Mike. Both color forms are found together. I collected these in Bolivia. Not only were the two color morphs found together but both would come from the same spawn when they were in my tanks at home.
