Apistogramma bitaeniata 'rio tigre'

[FIL]

Hello,
I am French and dwarf cichlid enthusiast for many years. I maintain and reproduces wild.
Currently, I maintain and reproduce two species of Apistogramma bitaeniata Wild Apistogramma bitaeniata "Mamuri" but also Apistogramma agassizi Tefé Mutum and Ivanacara adoketa .
I am looking for a new species bitaeniata: bitaeniata Apistogramma "rio tigre".
Do you know if you can find this species in France or maybe you know someone who could offer me.

Thank you in advance

Nicolas

I don't know if they are in France, but I have tanks with breeders and others growing up fry. I brought my specimens back from Peru. They are truly beautiful fish!

Does that mean you will have some available soon Mike?

 

[Mike Wise]

Yes, in a few months. The males are starting to sex out now. Once I take 'the pick of the litter', the rest are trade bait.

Is it possible to get on the waiting list?

 

[Mike Wise]

Sorry, I don't keep waiting lists; too many obligations that can create hard feelings if not fulfilled. Just to let everyone know, I breed for fun and don't try to make money off my fish/hobby. Many of the species that I keep are 'ugly', so I only breed to keep my species going. I much prefer to trade rather than sell - and you'd be surprised what I accept in trade sometimes.

Are killifish, rainbows or catfish on that list?

 

[bussardnr]

Fish aren't ugly. (dwarf cichlids anyway) They just aren't all gaudy.

Yes, these, too. I consider anything, as long as it doesn't grow too large.

To put them in with Mugsy, Mike?

We collected the actual fish in a tributary to the Rio Tigre last October. It for sure is a beauty!

 

[bussardnr]

wow, thats really nice.

 

[Mike Wise]

Mugsy has 'munched' a few specimens (small/deformed mouths/fins), but that is why I have it! Every conscientious breeder needs a culling fish. Hopefully trade fish won't be part of the menu!

My extras will be listed in this section once I cull and pick some for me. I don't take reservations. Probably available in a month or so. I can't keep my PM box empty for any length of time. Your best bet is to send me a personal email. It's listed in my profile section. I prefer it to PM.
