apistogramma

[Steen Jessen]

My name is Steen, I have been interested in apistogramma for several years. It started as an experiment and the goal was to just breed at least one species instead it ended up with me breding 23 different species of these beautiful fishes.

At the moment i have A. sp. Oregon an d A. sp. Rocafuerte.. I would like vey much to get in touch with other aqauarists who share the same interests

Welcome!

Welcome to curiosity, fun and impending bankruptcy. I would be far better off today if I could recover what I spent on fish yesterday but I still keep them, and enjoy them, and spend far too much on them.

hello Larrry-
The story behind a. blutkehl is that some of my friends found a pair in Belgium and brouhgt them back to me because the knew it had my interest.

They were bought as a. breitbinden but i soon found out that that was wrong. then i showed the picture to Frank Schaffer. and he told me it was a. blutkehl.Even though i manged to breed them.

right know i am preparing somme osmosis water to do a waterchange. which ph. do yuo use wnen you try to breed yuor apistos?

does any body know where to find somme A uapesi near by me in DK, i have been looking for these for many years.

I usually keep water slightly acidic and have found water hardness to be more critical than pH. The apistos I have bred seldom even attempt to spawn in hard water and those that have have turned out poor broods where there was high loss in eggs and fry developed poorly. One brood of caucatoides I tried to rear did not produce a single fish over two inches and none were females. The small males were also apparently sterile as several spawned but none of their spawns produced fry. The same females produced well with males from other spawns.
