I'm wondering if what this article from The Smithsonian is talking about occurs in South America with the native fish population. Does this phenomena occur with any waterfowl populations in SA? How exactly would it affect distribution of fish in SA if it did?
I've been doing some research trying to find a Genus sp. name for a tetra that appears in TomC's "Collecting in Río Tigre / Río Pucacuro 2010" collection trip notes and gallery. Specifically the one found the last day with A. pantalone and A. martini in the trip notes, shown here in the...
Hi Tom, I believe that you have migrated your website to a different hosting service since you made this post, and I think it was to pictures from a collection trip you may have made. Is there any way you can fix your links from your initial reply? I'd greatly appreciate it.
So I have two pairs of A. rositae from wetspot. In tank #1, the male is harassing the much smaller female. In tank #2, what I believe to be a female is harassing another, which I believe to be male. These two are roughly the same size, and much smaller than my definite male. I'm relatively...
Most of the el cheapo aquarium thermometers have so much variance that I find myself wondering what the temperature actually is in the tank. For example on my two 10g apisto tanks I have a cheap glass and a digital that are in opposite corners of each tank and the temperature variance is like ~3...
Just got two pairs of Apistogramma rositae (sp. "Harlekin") from Wet Spot last week and I'm having trouble sexing one of the pairs. Not sure if I have two females, two sub-dominant males duking it out for supremacy, or if it's split and they just aren't old enough. They are ~4cm long at the...
Just like the title says. I'm setting up a 40g breeder tank with 20g sump and wondered what I could put in there with a school of ~7 Cory cats and a couple bristle-nose plecos.
I was thinking either two pairs of different species or a trio/quad harem. Is that too many? Tank will have lots of...
I was thinking about how there are certain species that aren't as commonly available in the trade due to scarcity, waning popularity, or some other factor such as export restrictions in some SA countries. To me it seems like A. rositae and A. flabellicauda are harder to come by. I was curious if...
I'm looking for an apisto species that is from one of these localities listed in this SeriouslyFish for another species I'll be keeping:
"Endemic to the middle Río Orinoco watershed in Colombia (departments of Meta, Casanare, Arauca, Vichada, and Guainía) and Venezuela (states of Amazonas...
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had this apisto or could post pictures for identification? I have seen about 5 different apistos in google search image results and I'd like to know what they actually look like. Thanks!
Can anyone post a quick list of the species they know are harem breeders? I'd really appreciate it!
I've read-up on a lot of the species and run a search here, but my head is spinning trying to filter out all the other information I have to sift through to get my answer lol
Hi everyone, my name is Jay. I currently don't have many tanks set up and I've never kept apistos, but I've kept rams relatively successfully in years past. I joined because I'm researching the dizzying variety of apistos to decide what I want to keep as a centerpiece in a community tank, ~40-60...
