    A. cf. personata F0

    A WC pair of A. cf. personata arrived today. Nice population. This is how they look from importers couple of hours after arrival. Once the fins heal up and grow back out, this pair should be real stunners.

    A. cf. hoignei - FO import from Columbia. ~3.0 cm in length. Definitely in the hoignei sub-complex. Look D47ish. Any thoughts?

    These A. megaptera have settled in and grown out some. Very pretty and fairly mild-mannered apisto.

    Pelvicachromis drachenfelsi

    With the recent imports from Cameroon, I was glad to get P. drachenfelsi (fromerly P. taeniatus "Wouri") again. I received a WC pair three days ago. They came in somewhat worse for wear. With good water, frequent changes to keep nitrate low as possible, and regular feedings they are beginning to...

    Procatopus similis "Idenau"

    Been a while since posting on the forum. Good to see continued activity in an "old school" forum and some of the improvement adding phots etc. So, I got a few of these lampeyes from a recent W.A. import. Never kept Procatopus before. They are pretty, very active, and this male (about 1.5") is...

    A. trifasciata source USA?

    Anyone know of a source for good strain(s) of A. trifasciata in the US? By "good" I mean good coloration and even scalation (ie. not overly inbred and showing odd/deformed body shape). Are WC of this species imported periodically (or not)? Would like to work with them some day. Thanks in advance.

    Help With H. sp. Moanda

    I received three Hemichromis sp. 'Moanda" as 1 male and 2 females. I have them separated as they were fairly aggressive toward each other. Here are photos of the three fish. First fish - largest and most dominant fish - I thought this was a male because of larger size, dominance and more...

    Epiplatys fasciolatus WC

    Had to move a pair of these to a holding tank and grabbed this not so great image of the male. At first I thought these were going to be rather bland, but they have turned out to be quite nice. Male ~ 1.5" wild from Jeff at Aquatic Clarity - imported from Guinea in 2014.

    Scriptaphyosemion geryi WC

    Santa did not bring me a new camera this year, so this is the best I can do with my not too expensive workhorse. I'm going for a natural set-up as this species is supposed to allow fry to survive in the tank with them.

    Scriptaphyosemion geryi WC

    A few pics of wild Scriptaphyosemion geryi. Currently ~1.25 inches - should be quite nice when full grown at ~2 inches. Male - nice specimen- part of the caudal fin was missing and is now growing back. Females - neat looking in their own way. I find the ideal water temperature seems to be...

    Amphibious African Killifish

    Check this out: I got a bunch of wild Scriptaphyosemion geryi killifish from Jeff. After being in the aquarium for a few days and seemly doing fine, one point , one-by -one, all the killifish started jumping out of the water and sticking themselves on the glass sides of the aquarium. They...
