    Apistogramma Panduro

    Wonderful little fish. I have a male, 2 females & about 10 juvies all living together peacefully.

    Fry doing somersaults.

    I hadn't thought of that. I know that you're supposed to rinse BBS with fresh water before feeding, but I've never done that, & up til now I've never noticed any adverse effects.

    Fry doing somersaults.

    I've noticed that after feeding my Dicrossus maculatus fry BBS one or two of them start swimming erratically in circles, eventually settling on the bottom & breathing heavily. I assume they eventually recover since I've never seen a corpse. I've had this experience with very small anabantoid fry...

    Early Christmas gift!

    I can never get a photo that does him justice. When he spars with my other male the colors are mind-blowing.

    Early Christmas gift!

    D. maculata fry born 01/03/16. A bug's ear has nothing on these guys!

    Apisto "blue steel"

    I'd keep them well fed & wait & see what happens; apistos are full of suprises. And if it turns out that all of your fish are female your'e ahead of the game, since males are much easier to find.

    Apisto "blue steel"

    My male never shows any yellow. BTW mine were sold to me as Apistogramma agassizi Neon Blue. Female L Male R

    Female sp. Steel Blue & fry

    I know they're supposedly hybrids, but I have Neanderthal DNA; I guess that makes me a hybrid too.

    Help ID and breeding wild Krib

    I don't have any Nanochromis splendens; the only westies I can spare right now are Enigmatochromis lucanusi. I'm located in Brooklyn, NY.

    Early Christmas gift!

    I know that they're wild-caught, but from where I haven't a clue. I got the female from Jeff Michels & the males from an LFS (!), where they were labeled as checkerboard barbs.

    Where are you located? Pelvicachromis silviae are on my bucket list ;)

    Early Christmas gift!

    Woke up on 12/15 to find my female Dicrossus maculatus guarding her first spawn on top of an Anubias leaf. The eggs hatched out on 12/18. Since then she's been moving the larvae to various Anubias leaves, but today she placed them on an oak leaf right near the front glass. Been looking forward...

    Agassizii "Flamenco?

    Thanks for the info. Whatever their origin I was blown away by the males when they colored up. I wasn't familiar with any agassizi strains that have violet ventrals with orange tips. LOTS of sneaker males, though.

    Agassizii "Flamenco?

    Picked up some juvies at an LFS. They were only labelled "agassizi" (which usually means sp. Steel Blue) & they grew into these beauties. Are they the Flamenco/RioTigre morph?

    Buying Dicrossus maculatus females.

    I can use 2 or 3 D. maculatus females, but don't want to get killed on the shipping. I'm located in N.Y.C.

    Leaving fry with parents

    Thanks; since the female is used to spawning in the pot I'll block off most of the entrance with a piece of shale. I was very surprised that the female let the male anywhere near the eggs.

    Leaving fry with parents

    Same with my Panduros. The female allows the male into the cave & just looks on while he snacks on the eggs. Should I remove he male after spawning or use a cave with a smaller entrance? They're a young pair & probably inexperienced, but this has happened 2 consecutive times.

    Hello from Brooklyn!

    Hi, my name is Scott & I've been a fishkeeper for many years. I had one community tank & a 5.5 gallon quarantine tank & was content with that until a pair of Laetacara curviceps spawned in my quarantine tank a day after they were introduced. Since then I've kept & bred various South American &...
