This months fish update and IDs

[Hudson Ensz]

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 lifted out of the water! I also bought what may be a male and a female gibbiceps.

Perhaps my best buy this month was a Nannacara taenia, and my best catch was a laetecara that tragically jumped out of the tank.

The last 7 days i have been unable to do much because of a severe fishing related injury on my toe. I got two stitches and may be able to enter the water when the stitches are taken out in a few days. If you really want to see pictur.... umm never mind. Enjoy the pics!
Today i also bought a single male Apistogramma paucisquamis Finally!!!

The female apisto is probably agassizii.
I cant believe this is a rupununi!!!! I caught it in the same place as the rest but it is way too pretty!

I am guessing this is paucisquamis?

I am guessing this is paucisquamis?

I can't say for sure. The photo is rather dark and the fins and black body markings don't show well.

Thank you big bird and Mike Wise. Currently the paucisquamis is in quarintine since the tank I got it from was full of ich. When he gets out of jail.. umm quarintine I will get better pictures.

Thank you big bird, I dislike self promotion as much as the next guy but i do post all of my collecting trips on my blog. I would post them here if i didnt have to upload the pics on Photo Bucket (hint hint):wink:
