@lexi: I had to change the address to my site from apisto.sites.no to tomc.no, because somebody hijacked the control over sites.no.

Apistogramma diplotaenia:
and here I collected 11
Apistogramma diplotaenia before breakfast:
Going up small blackwater streams
we some places spotted a little green below the surface:
This one just jumped up into the boat:
These look more like water plants than terrestrial plants, to me:
and there were also plants that looked very much like waterplants!
In water with a pH of more or less 4, and a conductivity of less than 10 microSiemens/cm!
