    Brazil Import

    Looks like Gephys to me, too. See: http://www.aquarium.ch/forum/showthread.php?t=39087&page=2 - you have to scroll down about half way on the page (the one under the A. hongsloi), and there is a photo of an almost identical fish to yours, which is most likely gephyra.

    Hi Jeff, Do the A. luxophthalmus have any red/orange in the fins?

    Wild Congochromis dimidiatus?

    This pair is making excellent parents sharing amicably in brood care. The fry are taking newly hatched brine shrimp on day 2 free-swimming.

    What is the level of oxygen demand of Dwarf Cichlid or Apistogramma?

    Agreed with Mike. I have kept apistos in tanks without filter (bubbling , agitated water surface, current) without any apparent issues with oxygen. However, I tried the same thing with C. dimidiatus and within a day or two both were hanging near the surface and gills were working more than...

    Wild Congochromis dimidiatus?

    9 days after spawning, the female has brought out her first brood of free-swimming fry. And now I am officially maxed out on F1 fry from three rather rare and nice dwarf cichlids. Hopefully I can distribute some to interested aquarists via trade or sell.

    Collecting.....

    Freshwater fish with mauve colors are amazing (and, I think, rare). What a beauty. Would be great to see this one at home in your tank displaying.

    Dicrossus filamentosus - sexing and advice?

    I have not been following this thread, but I have to say nice work on the tank set-up, photos and spawnings. Some of the better photos of this species I've seen showing neat behavior. If you can spare the $ pick a better camera - I'm sure you photos would be real winners! Good luck with the...

    breeding pencil fish

    Great thread...from another angle, see video below for nice footage of pencil fishes (and a lot of other species) in their natural habitat. Maratecoara has several very nice videos of underwater footage of Rio Negro igarapes - lots of ideas for creating biotope aquariums to be seen :)

    Apistogramma gephyra

    For comparison - A. agassizii 'Barra Mansa, Alenquer' female in brood care coloration - showing much more pronounced dark pigment in anterior spines/region of pelvic fins and more pronounced dark pigment in first dorsal spine. And a photo of A. sp. Tefe female (not in brood care coloration)...

    Apistogramma gephyra

    Thanks Mike, found it online here. And, yes it's an ichthyological taxonomist's treasure.:D

    Apistogramma gephyra

    A close examination of this photo of the female shows that the dark pigmentation in the first dorsal spine is actually a continuation of the the red tips and dark submarginal band of the dorsal fin. This dark pigment becomes a marginal band on the caudal and anal fins, but is less pronounced in...

    Apistogramma uaupesi Apistogramma cf. uaupesi rotkehl or Apistogramma sp blutkehl

    Apistogramma gephyra

    I found the reference about A. gephyra being considered a bridge species between A. agassizii and A. pertensis - good old Dwarf Cichlid.com http://www.dwarfcichlid.com/Apistogramma_gephyra.php. The photo of the female there also shows the first dorsal spine with dark pigment and some dark...

    Apistogramma gephyra

    Thanks for the info - so A. gephyra is considered a 'bridge' species between A. agassizii and A. pertensis? as I recall reading somewhere. In reviewing the video I posted, it does appear that the female has dark pigment at the bases (but not all along the spines) of it's pelvic fins and the...
