I caught a few decent pics yesterday of one of my latest D. maculatus spawns. I've been so busy with kids and whatnot lately, that I haven't been able to get down to the fishroom much to observe or photograph. They fortunately decided to have this spawn in an open area where I could snap some...
So I was visiting a friend's fishroom last week and took a bunch of pictures of his fish for him. Got this shot and thought it was kinda funny, so I thought I'd share.
This is a pic of one of his male Apisto. eremopyge. He was being painfully reclusive the whole evening, but I managed to...
Over and over again, I am reminded of why these are my favorite fish. I just don't know if any other will top D. maculatus for me. I was shutting off lights tonight and the mac growout tank was the last one. Apparently with all the other lights out, the male could see his reflection and he...
Came down yesterday morning to something nice, but a little unusual. My maculatus spawned again, but I found the male guarding the spawn and keeping everyone away, including the female. After watching for some time, he refuses to let her anywhere near the spawn. This morning the situation is the...
Well, one of my wild pairs of Lokoundje just led out a group of fry this morning. They seem to have formed a great pair-bond and they are working together flawlessly. They've been in 10 since I had no other free tanks, but they have been very harmonious. Over the last week they have taken turns...
Fish just seem to be prone to crummy timing, especially with regards to respecting my need for open tank space. My Dicrossus maculatus have been throwing me some surprises lately, but fortunately of the pleasant kind.
My main breeding group of maculatus have been in a 40 long aquarium for...
Hey all,
Thought I'd share this interesting little thing I saw yesterday. As I was going through my fishroom I came upon something I wouldn't have expected. I currently have a female elizabethae vigilantly guarding and attempting to care for a three-day free-swimming spawn of eremnopyge. I...
Caught them in the act today and snapped a few shots. There was an obnoxious A. calvus that kept hanging around and gawking, so he got in all but a few pics ( cropped him out of most).
I don't feel like typing them all in, so you can see more in my Photo Gallery under West...
Hi all,
Hoping to get some input from anyone with experience/knowledge of Dicrossus maculatus. I have a group of fry which I just seperated to their own growout tank a few days ago as the pair seem to be gearing up to spawn again. They are a bit over 1.5 months old now, and there's been one...
Hey all, hoping you might be able to assist me in IDing a few fish. I recently got in a shipment from Brazil, and brought in a box of mixed Brazilian Apistos. Probably 80% or more were gibbiceps with a few hippolytae thrown in, but a week or two ago I was looking through the tank and picked out...
Hello fellow DC enthusiasts! Just thought I'd make myself known, as I just finally got around to joining up with this forum. After a recent visit from Ted Judy and a little friendly prodding, I figured it was as good a time as any to get back into the community. I was actually pretty active in...
