    Help with ID

    I can't remember if I have ask for help with this fish before. If I did I did not write it down. For some reason I have only this one picture. It is of a fish I collected in the Orinoco Delta region in 1997.

    Brazilian wild caught Rams

    So I couldn't stand it. I saw these Rams that were said to be wild caught from Brazil. The seller couldn't tell me anything more than that they were suppose to be wild caught from Brazil. Needed to see them so I purchased some. They are small and I don't think fully colored up yet but I can't...

    Apistomaster

    Perhaps I missed an earlier post. I just learned that a long time member of this forum has passed away. Apistomaster will be remembered by long time members for his many contributions to this group. On Simplydiscus.com there is a good write up about him and his unique way of keeping aquariums.

    Fish colors

    When fish are collected in the wild their colors are often extraordinary. After a few generations in the home aquarium these colors fade. Feeding diverse foods has not really helped, at least in my tanks. Does anyone have a successful way of maintaining the wild colors?

    Back to Peru

    If all goes well, which may be expecting a lot these days, I am returning to Peru on Friday. I have not been to northern Peru to collect for many years. The plan this time is to collect the drainage of the Mazan and Napo rivers. Will be on the river about a week then hopefully back home. Always...

    Here is another one

    This makes me wish I had taken better records back in my early collecting days. I believe I brought this back from a early Peru collecting trip. May have been from the Rio Mazan but I'm not sure. Sorry about the picture quality.

    Help with ID

    I have been going through my archives and have come across photos of Apistos that I have doubts as to their ID. There are a number so I will submit them one at a time. This is a fish I obtained in 1986 from a small fish shop with no identification. No info on collecting site or other helpful...

Other places on the site he has wonderful videos of Apistos and rams in their natural habitat as well as other fish and orchids. I have been to some of these same areas and collected...

    Erythrura color forms

    Does anyone know if the different color forms of A. erythrura breed true? I have collected 3 forms. The red caudal, blue caudal, and the colorless caudal. Since they are collected in the same area and all the females look alike I have not been able to set up reliable pairs of each form.

    We did collect Apisto trifasciata

    When I described the fish we collected in Bolivia last summer I mentioned that most were quite small and difficult if not impossible to identify. Once the fish were home in our aquariums for awhile my collecting partner noticed some fish that he thought may be trifasciata in with a large group...

    Collecting report Bolivia 2016 Part 1

    After a 14 year absence we returned to Bolivia to collect Apistos and killifish. We went in August because that is during the dry season and that is the time of year we had gone previously. This time we found conditions were much dryer. Several of our collecting sites from 2001 were dry or had...
