My name is Matías, I'm from Cochabamba, Bolivia.
Sorry if I'm wrong with my English, I have no problems with corrections, they are grateful...
I hope to read and learn a lot in this forum because I love apistogrammas and other dwarf cichlids...
Greetings from Bolivia!

Welcome to the Apisto Forum! Do you collect local fish? Little is known about about dwarf cichlids from the uppermost Río Mamoré system where you live.

Good to hear from someone in Bolivia. I collected apistos in Bolivia and really enjoyed the country. I am currently planning another trip to your country. The last trip we collected from Santa Cruz along highway 9 to Trinidad. From there we went up to Magdelena then west toward San Borga and finally south of Trinidad to Laguna Suarez. We collected alot of apistos that we do not see much in the US. Quizas el viaje proximo podemos encontranos ( I am trying to learn Spanish).

Thanks Mike Wise!
Exactly, there is little knowledge here in my country, having so much wildlife. I'm studying to be a biologist, and so provide knowledge ...
In my city you can easily get two wild species of cichlids: Bolivian Ram (Microgeophagus altispinosa) and Horse Face (Geophagus (Satanoperca) jurupari) ... In other cities there is more diversity of species because they are closer to the jungle ...
If something is not understood, sorry ...

It would be great to know and be able to collect apistos ... Already have a date to come?
Your Spanish is very good when I read it I did not realize the change of language ...
Sería genial encontrarnos para poder viajar por mi país...
