    Has anyone kept Orinoco dwarf pike cichlids?

    I have been trying to find out as much as possible about these but information is limited and at times contradictory. My local shop has some of these: https://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/fish-archives/crenicichla_cf_regani_orinoco_en/ Apparently though they are now considered closer to...

    Is it possible to identify any of these( from Colombia)?

    The local shop just got some Apistogrammas in from Colombia, there seem to be at least two different species. I might be completely off the mark but to me some could be iniridae, while others look similar to the hongsloi type that just a couple of came before. Most are small juveniles but a few...

    Concerned about my new Apistogrammas

    As discussed here: https://apistogramma.com/forum/threads/some-apistogrammas-from-peru.24724/page-2#post-119255, I recently got 4 Apistogramma "ladislao" - supposedly 2 pairs, at any rate 2 definite males and two much smaller ones that are meant to be females but might not be. Along with them...

    Some Apistogrammas from Peru...

    I have been on the lookout for some Apistogrammas (or other SA dwarf cichlids) to go with my Copellas which I got a year ago, and in all that time (despite living close to the Amazon) nothing has come up except some completely orange cacatuoides imported from Asia. Just recently several...

    Wild Apistogramma id

    These two small Apistogrammas are in my local fish shop, they came mixed with a shipment of neon tetras from Colombia. These are the best pictures I could get for the moment.

    Ivanacara bimaculata is this the correct name now?

    Just wondering, as the local fish shop owner told me he might get some of these. When I googled it quickly only Nannacara bimaculata came up at first. Later I did find a reference to ivanacara bimaculata, I assume this is the most up to date name? There does not seem to be much information...

    Copella (?) id?

    I got these today, sold as “Copeina” but I think they are Copella? Can anyone please identify them for me from these not very good photos? The red above the eye is quite noticeable.

    What have I got?

    I was sold this about 3 weeks ago as A. macmasteri, wild from Colombia. He has grown and colored up since I got him. Doesn't it look more like A. cacatuoides??

    Which Apistogramma?

    I was wondering if any of you could help advise me which species to get for my first experience with Apistogrammas. My tank is 120cm by 40 by 50 high, I don't have any fish yet, waiting for plants to become well established. I have been making enquires about which species are available, locally...

    Advice about cycling and plants please

    When I used to keep fish many years ago we didn’t read anything about cycling and I never tested the water or waited one or two months to add fish. Now everything seems more complicated ! Anyway I first filled my tank just under a week ago and added stability and a dead prawn (can’t get pure...

    New tank setup

    As I have explained in my introduction, I am planning to keep fish again after a break of many years and I have a new tank 120cm x 40 x 50. I would like to set this up initially as a community but in the fairly near future will also set up a smaller tank for breeding. I would like to have some...

    Apistogramma “Leticia”?

    I went to an aquarium shop the other day to find out if they had any Apistogrammas, though I’m not ready to get any just yet I wanted to find out what might be available. They didn’t have any but they have some arriving around the July 20. Agassizi, cacatuoides, macmasteri and “leticia” - I...

    Hello from Ecuador

    As a quick introduction, when I was younger I was a keen aquarist and Cichlid fanatic, I even did my PhD on cichlids. So I’m not exactly a beginner, but I am many years out of touch with fish keeping and I have never kept Apistogramma before- they weren’t very easily available then and where I...
