Hey, that's pretty cool! Nice work so far.
I'm working on something similar for freshwater, targeted at catch-and-release fly fishers. I will try to post more about that here when we are nearer to launch.
Holy cow, what an amazing species! I love the google map, more folks should be doing that, and not just scientists. A team of dedicated hobbyists could collect a lot of good data on behalf of science using tools like Google Maps.
I'm pretty new to fish keeping, I set up my first aquarium in April, I think. Nonetheless, things are going swimmingly. ;)
I recently had my first batch of A. agassizii "Fire Red" fry, and I am a little shocked how many have survived.
I counted 77 in the attached photo, by printing it out and...
My black neons are aggressive as heck, I wouldn't think they would be good around fry. I am surprised by that response, but that's good to hear. I had some glowlight tetras with my aggies for a while and more than one got killed for wandering close to the spawning site. Nannos are probably a...
I would try typing with proper capitalization, that should improve your fry survival rates.
Seriously, though; Water changes water changes, water changes, 10-15% daily.
I am not sure why you are having trouble.
You need to post all your water parameters and environmental details if you want...
That's a lovely tank! I have a 33 Long cycling now, was thinking I might keep a breeding group of Apistos in there someday, but undecided which direction to go with it. If I go with a biotope yours will serve as inspiration, I love it.
Hello Mr. David Soares! I am over here in southwestern Idaho, I am very interested in your animals, I want to know more. I might even make a drive out to Sisters to learn more, if that were a possibility. I have had trouble using aquabid to contact you.
ApistoDave on Aquabid has A. viejita and hongsloi for sale. His site seems like it is associated with Dr. Römer, I am not hip to the scene yet, but oh my, @apistodave exists here too. He seems legitimate, so are those real viejita? (debates on the value of the concept of 'species'...
That's how I understand it as well. I saw some for sale on "awkward bid" a week or two ago, I don't remember now if they were international or not. Likely to be macmasteri if not, I know. Thanks for your replies, everyone.
I get that, I meant trying to find some actual viejita. I like those redneck macmasteri too, but, shoot, I like them all. Thank you for keeping me straight on it, nonetheless.
I ended up starting with 4 captive bred agassizi "fire red" - I will probably only do wild form Apistos in the future...
I like the wild-type amount of red, oh heck, I don't know what I like. Now I'm looking for honest-to-goodness A. viejita, which may be a fool's errand. There are a lot of nice new Apistos on the Wet Spot pricelist, particularly for anyone near the west coast of the US.
I seem to have an affinity for hongsloi, I don't know why, I just like them. I see a few for sale, but not many. The ones I have seen so far are showing bright pink and yellow colors, but I prefer the ones with brick red, ones that lean closer to wild-type, I have seen. I would love to find a...
