    Wild Congochromis dimidiatus?

    After wondering if the pair was ever going to spawn and fearing the female might burst if she got any fatter, raising the temp to ~77F and doing a 25% water change with tannin-rich, softer water did the trick! Just prior to spawning Just after spawning in the 'apisto-hut' behind her.

    Revision of the Pv. taeniatus-group

    Thanks for the FYI, Mike. Here is the abstract. As I'm sure you saw in the abstract, populations from both the Moliwe River and the Nyong River system - considerably further south - have the potential to be new species, as Lamboj states, pending further studies. Also, that the genus...

    Apistogramma gephyra

    Lol, Fart, I think I absorbed some of your photography talent by osmosis! It's the same camera (which costs less than a Canon 100mm Macro lens :eek:) and the same settings I normally use. She just happened to be right up by the aquarium glass so I was able to get a very close photo. Thanks for...

    Apistogramma gephyra

    At least on this female A. gephyra in brood care coloration, there are no dark pigments on spines/anterior portion of her pelvic fins. I wonder if this is diagnostic of A. gephyra? Compare with female A. agassizii in brood care.

    Hello from the Netherlands

    Thanks for introducing yourself and welcome. Absolutely one of the best naturalistic aquariums I've seen - very beautiful and well composed - having the two levels with the root structure looks great! I've not ever been a fan of Oscars, but your aquarium makes them look fantastic...

    Just shareing som pictures of my Dicrossus maculatus

    Very nice! Great fish and photos. If you don't mind, may I ask what camera you used and settings? I want my photos to look more like yours ;)

    Amazing! C. vilmae are awesome - and so are the apistos. Love the habitat scene as well. Thanks for sharing.

    Wild Congochromis dimidiatus?

    Thanks for photos - they look similar. I've heard of C. sp. Leza, but I have not seen what the distinguishing features are between that form and others. Did you breed them?

    Wild Congochromis dimidiatus?

    ...and I forgot to say thanks for the tip on the silver scales - good diagnostic feature.

    Apistogramma gephyra

    Lol! I think apistos are a lot 'easier' fish :p than nanos. The female C. dimidiatus I have is as ripe as a melon and displays to the male all the time, but he ain't having anything to do with her - I think he needs glasses!o_O. I"ve never bred Nano/Congochomis so I'll just have to see how...

    Apistogramma gephyra

    This pair have spawned for the first time. Female is guarding one of the apisto huts. Whereas before spawning the male had her constantly hiding and on the run, now that they have spawned, she is guarding her territory and keeping him away with vigorous displaying and tail beats (see photo of...

    Apistogramma mendezi F1- unsexed

    Nice work, Rich, on breeding those - I'd ask to do a trade but I've got my hands full with the species I'm working with now. My gephyra pair have spawned couple of days ago, hopefully I'll get some fry from them. Maybe a trade next year some time?

    Wild Congochromis dimidiatus?

    Actually it would be C. (Congochromis) dimidiatus (as it currently stands) depending on if you are a lumper or a splitter... See Mike's post: http://www.apistogramma.com/forum/threads/new-dwarf-cichlid-genus-congochromis.6570/ Looks like Congochromis is comprised of 5 species - C. dimidiatus...

    Wild Congochromis dimidiatus?

    This female was looking ripe... So I removed the glass separation from the tank and the pair began a wonderful display dance...what a neat species :cool:

    Wild Congochromis dimidiatus?

    I do not see any silver scales near the vent on the female.

    Wild Congochromis dimidiatus?

    This one pair came in as C. sabinae, which I would have been happy to have, but as it turns out, they look a whole lot more like C. dimidiatus. ID opinions welcomed. If, in fact, that is what they are, I guess I'll just have to make do with them;):cool:. I will do my best to spawn them...
