    I didnt post any pictures of the A. pertensis yesterday, I jumped to the conclusion that second to the last foto was of an A. gibbiceps, do you think it is something else? Here are pictures of what I think is a True Apistogramma pertensis

    Two day collecting trip to the Anavilhanas confirmed

    Yeah I did some revisions for my blog post, my original plan was to make three writups but that didn't pan out and I basically copied to my blog (I did improve the grammar and repeated photos though). I am still working on the Full travel report if the ACA or some other nonprofit organization...

    Two day collecting trip to the Anavilhanas confirmed

    Yes that is true though it is hard to imagine the entire rio negro changing PH by 1% JK. I have always found the Rio negro to be slightly higher then the Igarapés at almost any time of year.

    Two day collecting trip to the Anavilhanas confirmed

    At 6:30 in the morning we crossed the new bridge we got off the bus at around 10:30 at Nova Ayrao a small depressing city with the feel of a ghost town after an hour and a half of waiting, we got in a boat just as the rain was getting near. The ride to the small village where we would...

    Thinking of Writing article on A. salpinction.

    I know that! I just realized how much information I use every day that didn't cost me anything. Plus this way I can keep the pics on the blog and not be as pressured.

    Thinking of Writing article on A. salpinction.

    Thinking of Writing article on A. salpinction.

    Wow. That was very helpful Mike! Thank you. I feel like sending it to ACA BCG and DCA and some of the other clubs and the money isn't a huge issue. I thought about TFH because they were very nice the first time I sent in the dreadful article that (somehow) got published. Anyway I may try TFH and...
