Been gone for a long while from this forum, moved to the US, got married, am studying for a master's, etc. But figured I needed to have a few Apistogrammmas to remind me of my youth.
Question is how to find some good species. I just ordered Apistogramma Sp. Rio Mamoré from the LFS and am hoping...
Some of you may remember me from a few years back when I lived in Brazil. I am currently in college in Kentucky near Lexington. I set up an aquarium today with a filter and heater etc... and am interested in stocking it with an Apistogramma as it has been too long since I have had any. Once my...

Rio Caumé
I caught most of the fish in a small clearwater creek running into the rio Caumé
Fish
Green Spring
I didn't have much time here and only caught A. gibbiceps The trio I kept survived the trip...
Will be collecting in Tiririca saturday and Sunday I have been here before, and caught paucisquamis, true pertensis, cf. pertensis, and gibbiceps. Wish me luck!
Is this a good idea or not? It would be for TFH and wouldn't be very long. My problem is that it hasn't been confirmed 100% as salpinction. So would any of you actually read an article about one? I am on the fence looking foward to opinions.
Location: Itapeaçu, 4 hours boat ride from Itacoatiara which is four hours bus ride from Manaus.
Mission. Capture apistos and bring them back.

They have two photos of Caetei, and they look very differant. one looks like hippolytae or rupununi the other looks similar to geisleri ar thes fish Identified correctly?
Btw I obviously don't know much about these species.
I have a blog (passionate4pikes.wordpress. com) but have encountered problems. Recently I wrote (tried to write lol) a post about cf. pulchra but could not find a good source on the internet! I have run into similar problems with other species. I write the profiles but I know deep down I am...
This month has been farely productive, though i got a new apisto from the petstore and a three inch shrimp ate it. I only got two pictures of it. I think it MAY be resticulosa (yeah that is a wild guess.)
I also caught my prettiest A. rupununi ever, the spangles were incredible when first...
So i just got back from the us about a month or so ago.
I have gone on a few collecting trips but the only apistogramma i have caught is A. rupununi.
A female.
Right now i have a male and two females.
I also have what i believe to be the true A. pertensis. the pictures show more...
:eek:
Yes I gave away all my fish everything, they will be here when i get back so i can take them home again.
I will be in the USA for 10 months, yes a terribly long time without fish but i might survive.
I am not abandoning this forum, but i may not post as much.
I want to thank you all...
