    Mixing L. araguaiae with A. borellii

    I found L. curviceps much more mild than L. dorsigera, with L. araguaiae in the middle of the two, but leaning closer to L. dorsigera. While not as territorial as L. thayeri, I still found quite a notable difference between L. dorsigera and L. curviceps. I am speaking specifically to a pair in...

    Mixing L. araguaiae with A. borellii

    In my experience, L. araguaiae is much closer to L. dorsigera in terms of territorial aggression than it is to L. curviceps if that helps.

    Sajica/T-bar cichlid~Central American cichlid

    It would work for a while, but long term it would be too small. Males are very thick and heavy cichlids for their size when full grown.

    Cupid's Arrow

    No ideas, but congrats. Not a commonly bred genus.

    Request: Dwarf Crenicichla ID

    I figured that might be the case. They are tough critters to catch a good pic of in my experience.

    Request: Dwarf Crenicichla ID

    See in some of your pics there does look like orange around the dorsal ocelli ... but that could be the lighting, which is why I didn't give a more definite answer.

    Request: Dwarf Crenicichla ID

    My Colombian wallacii had orange rimmed ocelli with no white to be seen. The Cr. sp. Orinoco Dwarf has red and white rimmed ocelli. There are also at least two other undescribed dwarves from the same area, and I have seem them come in as a mix together. The only one I can discount from the...

    Dicrossus maculatus

    Aren't they usually 30"/76cm? The same length as the 29 gallon?

    Dwarf pike cichlid

    Also, while I haven't kept this variant yet, from what I've seen from others on forums the Rio Tapajos regani due seem to be more territorial to each other than the 'classic' regani. This is from people that have kept both locations. The Rio Tapajos is the most commonly one seen now a days, I...

    Dwarf pike cichlid

    I've kept a few different species of dwarf pikes with various dwarf cichlids (Laetacara mostly) and it worked really well. However, several species hunt apisto fry in nature, so not sure how well it would go. If I were to try it, I would keep to the larger species (as Mike suggested). I would...

    Nanochromis splendens WC

    I will admit to being a closet Anabantoid fan ... so perhaps Mark is right. :oops:

    What's your favorite dither fish?

    Interesting, I haven't noticed any breeding. Not sure if the Enigmatochromis have something to do with that, or if the lack of fine leaf plants (only have various anubias, african fern, and red tiger lily) has something to do with it.

    What's your favorite dither fish?

    Hmmmmm. Surprised no one mentioned the various blue eye/lampeye killis ... the Aplocheilichthys normani I have work wonderfully thus far.

    Crenicichla sp. aff. regani

    She's a beauty for sure. Part of the fun (and most of the frustration) comes from ID'ing the little buggers.

    Crenicichla sp. aff. regani

    Understandable. I was giving my best guess, since I've never seen/read about a regani being found in the Rio Negro before. Noto's seem to have them beat out there.

    Crenicichla sp. aff. regani

    I knew I was forgetting one other dwarf with the white spots in the tail ... Vinny Kutty's Bolivian Citrus dwaves ... http://www.reocities.com/NapaValley/5491/citruspike.html

    Crenicichla sp. aff. regani

    Hmmmmm ... the male does look like Cr. wallacii to me (Guyana/Rio Branco not the more recently common Colombians). I tried to re-find a picture I saved several years back, but I couldn't. The coloring and the pattern in the dorsal and anal fin is quite distinctive. I don't really want to repost...

    Crenicichla sp. aff. regani

    The fish with the most red in the tail I've seen was what we thought was the Rio Branco wallacii ... here's the link from a google search of the fish (not my picture, this came up on a google image search): http://s4.photobucket.com/user/minerals22/media/021.jpg.html

    Crenicichla sp. aff. regani

    Bah, meant to edit not quote. Teach me to post before second mug of coffee.

    Crenicichla sp. aff. regani

    I've not seen any thing lately that has ocelli in the tail, definitely not from that area. Does dorsal ocelli contain red or orange? I've not seen a regani from the Negro before. Noto's sure, and I can only assume possible wallacii since they are found in both the Rio Branco and the Orinoco...
