    Pelmatochromis buettikoferi

    Yes. P. nigrofasciatus is what I meant to say. Do they require softer or more acidic water for the eggs to hatch? The only articles that talk about this species are in German, and unfortunately my German is not what it used to be. It seems like the fish will survive in neutral to slightly...

    Pelmatochromis buettikoferi

    Anyone keep this fish? Any general pointers? Are they better parents than P. multifasciatus? I just got a group of 5 on Sunday.

    Nanochromis Transvestitus

    The Wet Spot in Portland Oregon has some. Google them, and give them a call. They do a great job packaging fish! As a matter of fact, they've shipped all my orders (I live in Cincinnati) using priority mail, and I have never had a loss. Ask for Grey. Tell him Lenny from Cincinnati...

    Jeremy Basch Speaking On Geophagines at BCAS

    Wow, a free Louis to everyone who attends? I'm there! Seriously though, Jeremy came to talk at the Greater Cincinnati Aquarium Society, and the talk was very good. Very thorough, with lots of pictures. Especially helpful, since Geophagus is one of those genera that has its fair share of...

    A new West African dwarf cichlid genus erected

    Sweet! Just in time for me to submit my fry for BAP under the correct name...or at least a more permanent name.

    Pelmatochromis nigrofasciatus

    You know I've had a little trouble with mine. They're about a year and a half old, and I cannot get wrigglers out of the eggs. I have twp pairs, and I'm not sure if my parents are just slow learners, or if I am really unlucky and bought an entire batch of infertile fish. Anyways, they're...

    Pronounciation

    I went to a Latin prep school, so I'm pretty decent at pronunciation. However, after getting involved in my local aquarium society, I learned pretty quickly that it's best to just adapt to how other people say the fish's name. Afterall, the point of communication is to have the other person...

    Nannacara

    I own a Czech strain of N. anomala, and they definitely have a red fringe along the dorsal. As a matter of fact, my males have quite a bit of red in the caudal fin as well. I feed my fish krill regularly, so perhaps the increased amount of red is due to diet, but this species can have some red...

    Steatocranus sp. red eye spawned

    This is such a great fish! I wish I would have picked some up last year, when I had the chance.

    Congochromis sabinae mystery ailment

    Well, the one male looks like he will pull through, but the female does not look very good. Hopefully, one of my remaining males will show some interest in the one remaining female. Otherwise, I wil have to order some more. Luckily, Rehoboth Aquatics seems to have some left. Just as a side...

    Congochromis sabinae mystery ailment

    No worries, Jerome. I did not take it that way at all. The more I think about it, the more I think that I have been giving these guys too protein-rich of a diet. The tank has quite a bit of mulm and aufwuchs, but perhaps I need to back off feeding this tank protein, so that they do more...

    Congochromis sabinae mystery ailment

    Jerome: I will cut down on the protein, and try to move them over to a more balanced food source like flake, or pellet. I did notice that the fish seemed to be a little bit better yesterday. Maybe I'll place some Nori into the tank tonight. If there is anything that the tank is not...

    Congochromis sabinae mystery ailment

    Live blackworms ~twice per week. Frozen bloodworms, tubifex, krill, mysis, Artemia, BBS, and Daphnia are provided ~3-4 times per week. Freeze-dried bloodworms, brine, and Daphnia ~3-4 times a week. I will feed some flakes and powdered food to the Raspboras, but the C. sabinae are wild so...

    Congochromis sabinae mystery ailment

    Has anyone experienced a dropsy-like ailment with this species? I noticed a female who seemed quite large the day after a water change. Great!!! Eggs are coming!!! Then, on Tuesday, I came home for lunch and peeked into the tank to look for my soon-to-be-BAP. I thought I saw the female, but...

    P. Sacrimontis

    This is why I never get rid of random, unmatched dwarf cichlids. They make great target fish for the species that you are trying to work with.
