    Pelvicachromis roloffi

    I have no plan for inbreeding now for the F1 fish. But they do need luck to grow up since I will always leave home for more than one week for business trips, and nobody will help me for taking care the aquarium tanks. Tks.

    Pelvicachromis roloffi

    Wild caught western Africa dwarf cichlids are not popular in Taiwan, especially the less colorful P. roloffi. It doesn’t has the strong body color and beautiful tail fin as other male Pelvicachromis fish, and the female shows only lighter red purple belly even before spawning. Normally, a light...

    Newly described Apisto's from Colombia

    Tks Mike, i can fully understand your concern. in the beginning, when i am checking the specimen photo of A. lineata in Lasso's report, i thought it might be A. sp. iniridae(with throat stains). the following are the fishes in my tank, and the last one is A. flabellicauda? A. sp. iniridae...

    Newly described Apisto's from Colombia

    yes Frank, i have found the photos in website by W.Staeck. his A. flabellicauda is very similar to my A.uaupesi, so i also doubt about if it's true flabellicauda or not. and the caudal fin shape of Staeck's A.lineata is lyrate, seems not in compliance with the description.

    Newly described Apisto's from Colombia

    thanks Frank. unfortunately, i don't have enough evidence to prove if this fish is A. brevis or not. all three photos show no caudal spot, but maybe just because of the display morph. i have no chance to check the spot under normal condition since it was in my tank at about three years ago. and...

    Newly described Apisto's from Colombia

    Hi Mike and all, i am wondering if the following photo is A. megaptera or not. and while checking the paper of Lasso, it said the caudal fin of A. lineata is rounded, am i wrong? because i used google to translate from Spanish to English.
