Thank you so much. Wow, here I'm studying the photos so closely in the book and feeling really discouraged because I really don't see the differences. Could recommend any books, English or German that have good examples of viejita, I think I have
most of them at home I can reference. Thanks...
Hi again, I'm just wondering if there is anything unique with this cacatuoides, they were collected by a friend in Peru, the area he collected it from was San Joaquin De Omaguas.
Hi. I'm sorry for asking a very common question, I've looked at all the photos in my books and read the descriptions and I'm not confident 100% with my ID. They are wild and came directly from a Colombian exporter and were listed as viejita but I knew that meant nothing and that they would be...
Thank you so much again! My aquarium club brings in fish from various dealers, semi-annually for a "rare fish auction" and the Apistos are very often mislabeled. I was just giving a few more photos of different species that came in. The first photo, while I couldn't tell you why with confidence...
Hi, some wild Apistos came labeled as D21, I'm doubting it due to the lack of color on the ventral fins, but maybe too young? I'm guessing macmasteri maybe, any thoughts(1st and 2nd photos).
Another group came in as A. uaupesi, these I'm thinking could possibly be correct although i wish I had a...
Hi again, a friend just returned from a collection trip and brought back a couple groups of Apistos. I'll get more exact locations soon, but for the time being, I know he was days away from Iquitos, and I don't believe these two species were caught in the same location. The one we believe is A...
I have to look into my notes, I'm sure my group was over 2 years, maybe not 3 though. Makes me feel a little better, I thought I did something wrong with in the end.
Oh, and Dicrossus are one of my favorites, kept a group for a few years, got a number of spawns but the eggs never lasted more than a day. I will work with them again in the future for sure! Do you happen to know what they're life spans are, I didn't change any thing in their tank, but after...
Ah, yes, I do mostly hear the remineralazion talk from the plant guys! I did forget to mention, I also add botanicals to most of my soft water tanks, nothing too much though, a Catappa leaf and or some alder cones is about all I add.
Thanks so much for the info, I will move the extra male out, there's lots and lots of hiding areas with driftwood and live plants, floating hornwort also. Yes, there is a de-ionizer stage, I also keep a reef tank, that's the reason I have a four stage unit. Because of the de-ionizer, I thought...
