A WC pair of A. cf. personata arrived today. Nice population. This is how they look from importers couple of hours after arrival. Once the fins heal up and grow back out, this pair should be real stunners.
With the recent imports from Cameroon, I was glad to get P. drachenfelsi (fromerly P. taeniatus "Wouri") again. I received a WC pair three days ago. They came in somewhat worse for wear. With good water, frequent changes to keep nitrate low as possible, and regular feedings they are beginning to...
Been a while since posting on the forum. Good to see continued activity in an "old school" forum and some of the improvement adding phots etc. So, I got a few of these lampeyes from a recent W.A. import. Never kept Procatopus before. They are pretty, very active, and this male (about 1.5") is...
Anyone know of a source for good strain(s) of A. trifasciata in the US? By "good" I mean good coloration and even scalation (ie. not overly inbred and showing odd/deformed body shape). Are WC of this species imported periodically (or not)? Would like to work with them some day.
Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have experience ordering apistos from Pure Fish Works in Minnesota? They currently have an availability list with a lot of rare apistos. Thanks.
I received three Hemichromis sp. 'Moanda" as 1 male and 2 females. I have them separated as they were fairly aggressive toward each other.
Here are photos of the three fish.
First fish - largest and most dominant fish - I thought this was a male because of larger size, dominance and more...
Hi all,
Found a fascinating site showing tons of biotope aquaria from a contest. Quite a number of world famous entrants and judges - these probably represent some of the best in the world. Biotopes represented from around the globe.
Here is the link...
Had to move a pair of these to a holding tank and grabbed this not so great image of the male. At first I thought these were going to be rather bland, but they have turned out to be quite nice. Male ~ 1.5" wild from Jeff at Aquatic Clarity - imported from Guinea in 2014.
Santa did not bring me a new camera this year, so this is the best I can do with my not too expensive workhorse.
I'm going for a natural set-up as this species is supposed to allow fry to survive in the tank with them.
A few pics of wild Scriptaphyosemion geryi. Currently ~1.25 inches - should be quite nice when full grown at ~2 inches.
Male - nice specimen- part of the caudal fin was missing and is now growing back.
Females - neat looking in their own way.
I find the ideal water temperature seems to be...
Check this out: I got a bunch of wild Scriptaphyosemion geryi killifish from Jeff. After being in the aquarium for a few days and seemly doing fine, one point , one-by -one, all the killifish started jumping out of the water and sticking themselves on the glass sides of the aquarium. They...
