Hi everybody,
A few weeks ago I bought a couple of Apistogramma sp. Nanay and was curious which form I've got here. The couple is doing well and the female is guarding the eggs she placed in the coconut shelf.
They are swimming in this tank:
During making photo's I found out that the Dicrossus maculatus has eggs.
Here are some other residents of the tank:
Poecilocharax weitzmani male
Hypoptopoma sp.
Unfortunately I haven't got a bigger photo of the tank. The plants that I use are:
Echinodorus radicans
Eichhornia diversifolia
Echinodorus parviflora tropica
Hydrocleis nymphoides
Above water I've got some Philodendron scandens. These are for the Copella arnoldi to set their eggs on the leaves...
I've lost track of my own thread on this forum.
After some months of research and thinking how to create the tank, I'm finely finished with it.
This is how it looks right now:

What do you think of this one? Is it a young male or a female?
Thanks, here are some pictures of the Apistogrammoides I've got.
The Full grown male, died last month.
The younger species I've got.
Young male:
And some of the females:
Saturday they will be go to someone else and there they will swim in a 3m tank.

Hi everybody,
Because I am going to move to a other place, I have the opportunity to change one of the tanks to a special biotope tank for the Dicrossus maculatus. I've read that the Dicrossus maculatus is found near to Santarem and the are found in the tributaries of the Rio Tapajos. I was...
Hi everybody,
My name is Gert and I am from the Netherlands. I've joined this forum because I want to know more about dwarfcichlids and their natural habitat. At this moment I got two tanks. One 32 gallons and one 60 gallons. The dwarfs I keep now are a group of 9 Apistogrammoides...
