Hello
Recently I have been noticing more wild-caught macmasteri-looking fish turn up at the local fish shops. Can someone identify them, and does anyone have a good guide for identifying them?
These fish are listed as A. sp. Tame:
Some of the fish have an interesting caudal spot which is...
Hello
Below are photos of a single fish, the supposed "female" of a pair passed to me by a friend. The fish came in a Colombia import and were sold as A. sp. Breitbinden.
From the photos, is it possible to positively ID the sex of the fish?
Thanks!
I have about 30 young adult A. diplotaenia which are all offspring of a WF1 male and a wild-caught female. The group has slightly more males. I think a quarter to a third are females.
I'm in Singapore but would love to ship overseas, if you can find a shop near you which can receive fish from a...
These are captive bred fish imported at a local shop - they're labelled A. eunotus. Are these actually eunotus? It's very rare to see eunotus imports so it would be nice to get confirmation.
Thanks! :)
These are in the display tank of a local shop. They were imported as A. steindachneri from east Europe, but they look more like a fish from the regani group, it seems. These are F1/F2 I think - they've done well in the display tank which is a typical Amano nature aquarium style tank.

The pair entered...

Procedure: very clumsily, with each tank tested only once
Results
Tank: eremnopyge 45x30
Substrate: 1.5 to 2...
The little white thing in the moss. I first saw several at lunchtime, and wondered what they were. Then just a moment ago, I noticed cotton-woolly stuff growing on them, so - ah hah! fungused eggs, maybe! (Unplanned pregnancy - hooray! :D But fungus :( ) Then right after I turkey bastered them...
Hi everyone
My local fish shop brought in what they called "Crenicichla regani", catch location "Orinoco" (which isn't very helpful), and I wonder if anyone here can help to ID it more precisely. Here are some pics of the dominant female (sorry for low quality - my phone isn't so good). They're...
