Is there a book about Apistogramma that has good color photos of many of the species? I’m looking for something like the William T Innes classic, Exotic Aquarium Fishes but focused on Apistogramma.

We just had that topic in another thread yesterday, so I got the link to an existing book recommendation thread at hand.

Maybe you get a Cichlid Atlas by Römer, but those are now only available used and for a lot of money, the publisher is defunct.

I think Tom's Website is the better alternative at the moment.

I have to agree with MacZ on this. All of the really good apisto books are 20+ years old so they don't have any of the more recently discovered species. Still many of the books contain accurate information. It is sad that Mergus Verlag went out of business. Their Aquarium Atlas series is great, like an update of the Innes book (of which I still have several editions going back into the 1950s).

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
