    German guttata

    I have the same problem. ;-) I gave my fry away and then my female died. Fortunately he still have them, so I hope to get back a female soon. The problem is, that most of the fry are male and just very few female. And they are really nice fishes. regards, Rolo

    German guttata

    They are tank-bred from Wilhelm in germany. I have the same (but unfortunately my female died). But you're right, that there are no obviously differences to the wild form. The number of spots is variable and depends on size, age, food and dominance. regards, Rolo

    A. sp. "Putzer"

    You should teach them cleaning the window glass, before you make photos! *g* That is based on an obvervation of Ingo Koslowski. His fishes show a cleanig behaviour. It is described and even shown in pictures in his book. But I don't know anybody else, who have seen this behaviour yet. Maybe...

    They are both male A. hongsloi... one is dominant, therefore bigger and more colorful than the other. regards, Rolo

    What complex?

    There are no complexes in the A. gibbiceps group. ;-) The A. gibbiceps group belongs to the A. agassizii line (not A. agassizii group! ...it's a sister-group to this.) The A. eunotus complex belongs to the A. regani group. regards, Rolo

    Mergus Cichlid Atlas II

    ...and, based on blueblues infos via PM, I'm pretty sure, that the fourth new species, A. wapisana, ist former known as A. sp. "Balzfleck (Courting-Spot)" regards, Rolo

    Mergus Cichlid Atlas II

    Hi Blueblue, What about Apistogramma wapisana? Can you tell me the former common name of this new described species? best regards, Rolo

    "Scientific Name" and "Commom Name"

    Hi, there are many dwarf cichlids that don't have a "useful" common name. They are normally only called by their scientific name. So, you better learn the scientific names, if you want to be understood. ...it's not that hard, as you think! ;-) But of course, not every dwarf cichlid have a...

    Apisto from Mr Wilhelm

    Hi, They don't have a website. And they are not listed on the Glaser list, but you can try to get them via Transfish (www.transfish.de) or check out, which local Distributors get fishes from Transfish. regards, Rolo

    Apisto. cruzi ?

    Hi, I think, it is A. sp. "Winkelfleck (Angle-Spot)" regards, Rolo

    apistogramma regani

    Hi Mike, I agree, that they are definitely no A. regani. ...but I'm pretty unsure, if they are A. sp. Wangenfleck. The caudal spot looks like a big "Doublespot". I never saw this at A. sp. Wangelfleck. There it is smaller and oval. The caudal fin of A. sp. Wangenfleck is...

    Apistogramma Caetei??

    Hi, This is not A. caetei. It's A. sp. Rotpunkt / A. cf. alacrina. No doubt! regards, Rolo

    Main Differences between Agassizi Tefe and Sp. Tefe

    ...just the name! ;-) Some people think, it's a local form of the high variable species A. agassizii (=A. agassizii "Tefé" or better A. cf. agassizii "Tefé") , and some other people think, it's a close related, but separate species (= A. sp. "Tefé"). regards, Rolo

    Dwarfs?

    "Dwarf cichlid" is no scientific term, so you can call "Dwarf", whatever you want. ,-) Usually it means species, which have a maximum length of about 10cm. It doesn't matter, to what genus the species belongs. In your example, the two fishes are belonging to different species. Aeqidens...

    Apistograma pandurini

    Hi, The name of this fish ist Apistogramma panduro! (The former name - before description by Römer in 1997 - was Apistogramma sp. "Pandurini") Please do not confuse this.... regards, Rolo

    Still in the grips of Camallanus worms

    I didn't said, you shouldn't use Flubendazol at all. You even can use it against Camallanus, as far as I know. But in many cases, Camallanus became resistent for Flubenol/Flubendazol. The best med. agent against Camallanus is Levamisol. It takes more effect and it's harmless for the fishes...

    Still in the grips of Camallanus worms

    Hi, you should dig up/into (?) the ground, when you give the Levamisol/Concurat into the water. Camallanus larvae are in the ground, not only in water. So, if you just give the Levamisol into the water, there will be areas in the ground, which you don't reach with the medicine and where the...

    I.D needed

    Hi, as Mike said, a better picture would be nice. But my guess is, it could be A. sp. Nanay, because of the typical yellow pectoral fin. (sensu Koslowski, not to confuse with the Nanay sensu Römer = A. sp. Papagei/Papagallo) I'm pretty sure, it's no A. sp. Pebas. ...but let's wait...
