    Experiences with A. paucisquamis?

    Hi, no more yellow for the moment. Ok that ain't a real problem. My real problem is that the male A. paucisquamis is "missed in action". No sign, nothing to see, no male. Tomorrow i empty the tank completely. Sh**! :mad: Kind regards Marc

    Experiences with A. paucisquamis?

I'am still not able to find eggs. The tank is abundandly covered with moss and leaves. Kind regards Marc (a...

    Hi, according to the informations given in "Rio Negro - Rich Life in poor Water" and the informations provided from Michael Schlüter within his A. pertensis-article, 26°C matches the A. paucisquamis habitat. Good News today: She starts digging, building a huge sand pile in front of a cave...

    Experiences with A. paucisquamis?

    Hi Blueblue, :) yes double red tips (but just a little bit red), yellow belly. Blue iridescend highlights, nearly like a mask, blue pectoral and anal fins, and these wonderful broad metallic - like a mix of brass and copper - stripe along the black one. Real beauties... and no camera. I'am...

    Experiences with A. paucisquamis?

    Hi, no news from my A. paucisquamis. After a relative long time where the males shows more or less (but never really alarming) agressive behaviour against the females the situation cooled down. There is no breeding activity, the females shown well rounded bellys but no "action". Temp.: 25° to...

    A new Apisto species: Apistogramma barlowi

    Hi Susan, first: In my humble opinion, you need zotero (www.zotero.org) ;-). It is not as easy to write down a complete lists of (good) sources. There are Blackwell Synergies, Springer, Mapress (Zootaxa), Copeia and many more. May be it is a good idea first to get an overview. According to...

    A new Apisto species: Apistogramma barlowi

    A new Apisto species: Apistogramma barlowi

    Hi Rafael, it works (at my computer) with a actual Acrobat Reader (Version 8.1.2 Win2000 SP4) in Firefox 2.0.0.14. Sometimes the respond-time of the Dresden-University Server is a little slow. Kind regards Marc

    A precious species - ID

    Dear Jason, in my humble opinion (a the low picture quality saves my head :wink: ) it is Nannostomus mortenthaleri. Please take a look here or here. Hmmm, possibly i'am wrong, the black stripe goes straight into the tailfin? That's more like N. beckfordi but that is no beckfordi. Maybe a new...

    a garbage forum cnfish with a garbage moderator TRD

    Hi BlueBlue, a good first procedure for every digital picture, is to watermark them. Good watermarks cannot be deleted and they are a good evidence about the real copyrights. There is some interesting watermark-freeware available. Second, it is possible to add an jpg-comment and additional...

    Something is wrong, but what exactly is it?? (I. Adoketa)

    Hi Alan, i never kept I. adoketa, but some things catches my eye. It seems to be a little cold. The middle Negro river basin is sometimes up to 29°-30°C. In the case of your adoketas, my first attempt was, to keep up the temperature to stable 26° or maybe better 27°C. What is about the eggs...

    white worm on apistos

    These people are very fast. The answer (partly): Kosmos don't ever publish books in foreign languages. The licence for the english version of the book is owned by T.F.H. Publications Inc. If you visit their site, there is just the old edition available. Marc
