Hi Eric,
Nice fish you have but are you sure they are uaupesi or cf. uaupesi?
I can't see typical lyre tail very distinguishable for males and only "indicated" for females. What I can see instead (at least for male in the background) is diagonal bars in lower part of body - feature more common...
Hello Heiko it's nice to meet you here :-).
Biotope matters are the most interesting ones for many of us (including me). Is there any change to read your lectures in that matter? I know that you have described them in your "Bleher's Discus vol. 1" but for this moment I am much more focused on...
Hi,
My preferable way of keeping dwarf cichlids is keeping them in groups in bigger tanks.
So far I kept that way all species I have (i.e. bitaeniata, eremnopyge, sp. Abaxacis, macmasterii, elizabethae, gibbiceps, D. filamentosus) and it worked quite well since agression and their results...
Hi,
Well I do like to buy some bitaeniata as you did. They are not "something related to iniridae" they are real beautifull iniridae :-)
Due to intense of colours they seems to be wild fish. Am I right?
As they were labelled as bitaeniata price for was reasonable too?
This is one of...
So following you if I'd like to have group of adoketas (let's consider I have enough money and luck for it) I should buy group of juveniles and when they grow-up leave at least 3 pairs in spacious tank right? Trick with keeping more than two males of one species in big enough tank (as usually...
Hi,
No doubt I. adoketa is an very interesting and attractive species. Thanks to blueblue and other guys we all I convienced about that.
Unfortunettaly it is not so easy to find (especially in Europe) at reasonable price. There are some hopes (i.e. see one of latest post of Mark (Microman)...
Hi
I've noted from several e-mails found here that eremnopyge is considered to be a shy species.
Frankly speaking I have quite different experience. I have rised group of eremnopyge (together with same size group of A. sp. Abacaxis) from 1 cm fry to adult. Now I am keeping them in 240L tank...
Hi blueblue
Where did you get it from? Simpson books? I am still looking for best source to get it from.
Is there many info regarding new species from Rio Negro/Orinoco area? I mean ie sp. Icana, Putzer etc. Are they any results of field research as it was published in CA1? If yes which...
Volume 2 is not 2nd edition but continuation (or supplement if you like) of volume 1. So it's wise to have both of them.
BTW "search" function is really good help since there were many threads where this information and similar questions appear. Just let it work for you and you will find it...
Hi,
Let's have another of frequently visited thread these days ;-)
Look at link below:
http://www.mergus.de/news___infos1.html
CA2 is scheduled to be published January 2007 :-))))
So it seems that we are closer than ever before to lay hands on it. Some of web book shope are even...
Well it depends on fish you are keeping in such tank ;-)
When I've kept D. filamenosus they very often picked edge of leave and tried to turning it searching for food of course.
BTW I am not quite sure if it is necessary to boil leaves. I have never did it and leaves I am using (beech ones)...
Hi,
Recenty I have aquired a group of A. elizabethae (tank bred). I've ordered 3 males + 3 females and it seems that I've got what I want.
The same time I've also got same group of elizabethae and 2 pairs of T.candidi for my friend. This is 1st time I can look on candidi and (despite of...
Hi Grzesiek
I have seen a picture of such colorfull gibbiceps only once before. It is in latest DATZ special edition, we all referring to. Fish pictured there was descibed as breeding form. If think it is a matter of both methods - selective breeding for getting "enhanced" colours and special...
That is really bad, but we have no choice as this book (acc. to among other, your opinion) is really worth to wait for it. Hopefully we are now much closer to finally see and get it.
Another bad news even if I get my own copy 4 years ago. Does it mean that Mergus plan to sell also CA1 and CA2...
Hi,
Very interesting even if mouthbrooder is not my favourite apisto. I hope info regarding these two species will be put into CA2. Are the any news when we will finally see it? Any direct info from Römer
Could you tell us which species did you get. I am especially interested in those that...
