[Erwin Hooijer]

I want to start introducing myself:

My name is Erwin Hooijer and I'm from the Netherlands. I have an aquarium of 1500 litres. It's truly my passion.

Fish:

8 Discus Stendker Alenquer
about 50 Paracheirodon Axelrodis
4 Dicrossus Filamentosus
18 Nannostomus Eques
4 Pyrrhulina cf. brevis
and a few Loricariidae

Plants:

Vallisneria gigantea
Echinodorus bleheri
Pistia stratiotes
another Echinodorus-species (no ID)
and Nymphoides ezannoi (because I'm still searching for Hydrocleis Nyphoides)

A lot of wood and roots, leafes etc.

Pictures:

Water parameters:

Ph 6.0
Kh 3.0

I hope you enjoy

Like your aquarium.
Is it young Dicrossus Filamentosus you got?

 

[Erwin Hooijer]

I bought them as very young fish about half a year ago.

Two weeks ago, I bought a pair of Apistogramma Agassizii "Rio Madeira". Next weekend two more males en three more females will arive.

Did you buy them in Amersfoort at the shop Utaka?

 

[Erwin Hooijer]

Yes, that's right. My favourite shop to buy rare species!

 

[chris1805]

Yes indeed! i buy all my fish there actually haha. If you have the space to pick up a pair of their wild macmasteri i would really advice that! i got a pair of them, they are really young and only 3 euro each. Got mine for over a month now and they are colouring up so beautiful! The male get's a really colourfull yellow color with quite a lot of red.
