It is actually a juvenille of A. sp. aff. norberti not the typical norberti. I spoke with the seller through phone who is also the collector of this fish and assured me they are a pair (which I am still unsure) The image has been taken within the first half hour fish was released in tank. I...
Hi,
This norberti is as large as 3 cm and it was given to me as a male. However, I think it is a female, yet very unsure. It is showing no pattern on caudal fin, its colours are intense too, but also it has a very small black patch on the rear side of the dorsal fin which I hope you can see in...
I have contacted him too, roland. I could get the first and second issue of the journal but not the third we are looking for sadly. Let's hope he replies!
This is a very unreliable practice in my opinion. Even if studying a species and concluding by raising the temperature, the number of female decreases, could this be applied for a higher or lower tds? pH? I would tend to not rely on an individual study as a conclusion...
There is indeed true viejita in the hobby but it is not publicly available to anyone and no shop is selling the real specie. We had about 10 pairs entered the UK during summer. Of course what Bob47 is owning is macmasteri as there is only one form of viejita exist. Here you can see a video of...
Trio is a very wrong idea in my opinion for aquariums unless you have two tanks and swap the male after spawn from one to the other one. Also having more than one PAIR is wrong too. There will be aggression as a result of spawning, so really you don't want to look at them fighting each other no...
You don't need to get a pair of cac from USA! Get them either from Peter or tell me where are you and I will tell you who to get them from. They are around £3 each, but peter's are in better form and quality.
Yeah that is what I thought too. Also spoke with roland just a few minutes ago and he also confirmed. Thanks frank, really needed to make sure about it, lol.
I am afraid I have to disagree Mike. After a couple of months of this fish being entered to the U.K, I am hearing from here and there that so far 3 pairs have died and the people who got the rest including myself, are not really breeders... I would imagine this fish remain as a shadow behind...
I believe most apistos including cacatuoides require same level of care. The fact is there is no such thing called a 2begginer apistos" as you are talking about a living animal. It is like you say what is a beginner "dog" to start with? However, there are a certain forms of apistogramma which...
You can get it easily mate, if you are not looking for a wild fish, I think Nijsseni is one always available on ebay if you are willing to pay the postage fees. Coming from Kesgrave who gets his stock off Czech breeders as far as I know.
