Hi, just wanted to follow up on this species, here are some adult pics of the male and female, does the original ID still stand? The 3 pics are of the same male, sometimes he's very orange in the face and caudal base.
I'll get a pic of what I believe is a male, the group as a whole is young. This is my first time keeping any Crenicichla, but from what I've read, females have the dorsal occeli and males lack it, is that always the case or can males also have occeli? If so, then I have only 1 male out of 5 fish...
I was able to get a wild group of young Crenicichla, labeled as regani. After watching them a few days, I'm starting to feel they may be notophthalmu, any thoughts? They were supposedly collected from Columbia.
The handful Apistogramma species that use mouthbrooding, are they true mouth brooders like some Geophagus or the Haplochromines or are they larvophiles?
I never keep any yet, but I really want to!
Hi, I need your help again, a fish has popped up on a list that I've never heard of, Apistogramma 'calamar'? The pictures are not great, bare bottom tank, showing no color. Has anyone heard of this fish, I can't find any info on it, searched the name on this site and on Tom's Apistos, maybe I...
Hi, my Cichlid club is trying to find a list of generally accepted color variants/tank strains of Apistos in the hobby in order for us to know what we can allow into our BAP program. Is there a organization that would have that on a site somewhere. I'm not a huge fan of tank strains, I...
Thanks so much for the info, well that does it, I don't think I'll be using them anymore, I've heard too many bad things, and I personally know people who experienced the allergic reactions. White mosquito larvae, would you happen to know, are they also known as glass worms, that might be what...
Thanks, one thing that is always on my mind is sometimes when conditioning up these guys and also other Apistos, I'll feed frozen bloodworms, I use Hikari's. I've heard some people say there's no problem with it and others say they can introduce illness in fish, any thoughts on this?
It has varied between 80.1-81.7 since I've had them. The last water test after I lost the male was
pH- 4.9
N03- 5
GH- 2
KH- 1
Conductivity- 87
Temp- 81.7
These have been fairly stable over the years I've kept them, with weekly, RODI/tap mix, water changes. I also keep a lot of botanicals in...
Thanks, I've had my group for about that long, and I've lost a couple, water parameters are good, no major changes, they're the only occupants aside from a group of Nannostomus marginatus that have been there almost as long. They just kinda waste away. Strange thing is, I just had a spawn a...
Thank you for the information, so if I pass any of the offspring around, should I label them A. sp. aff. agassizii Netz or just keep it A. agassizii. I just read in Romer's book, Cichlid Atlas 1, that all the wild color forms of agassizii can show up in offspring from other locations, not sure...
