Any "serious" Apistogramma lovers here?

[_BaDgUy_]

Just wondering if there are any serious Apistogramma lovers in here!

I've got a project with an Apistogramma species that I have to spread around eventually!

[BC Mosaic]

Hello BadGuY,

I've been contemplating getting involved with this species.
What have you got and what do you have in mind exactly?
Cheers

I've got a species that was sent over by Mike Wise for me to get them to adult stage, breed them, and afterwards, spread them around in Canada.

The species in question is A. sp. aff. Peixoto.

They are still relatively young, very hard to sex them right now. I plan on having them breed by the end of fall, if everything goes right!

So that's pretty much the whole project for them right now!

I might get another species this summer to do the same, but nothing is confirmed yet!

I love the dwarf cichlids, and would love to have some. Hard to get in my area though..:(

Maybe you will be able to ship? LOL !! I'm in Nova Scotia... so not that far from Quebec !

I also have wanted to give apisto's a try for a long time.. the only problem is that they are rairly available here

'Apistodave' on Aquabid has a vast collection, and he ships to Canada ::D: .

_BaDgUy_ (http://www.canadianaquariumconnection.com/forum/member.php?u=285) You know i am a serious lover of apisto , even if the last 2 year i pointed to an other direction , i am still in love with them, it is just hard for me to found species i did not breed yet .

you aren't helping to slow down my addiction at all Melody... :twitcy:

Are we talkin' the same Melody here? Cause last I heard she likes to feed/nuture such addictions. I know this to be true, how you say? Ask me about my 4 48 gallons and 2 30 gallon tanks full of snails! Soon I will be sleeping in a circle of salt. :yes:

I'm still a goldfish chick but I have very recently admired apistos. I figure when my work visa/teaching job comes through, it will be another opportunity to hide new fish and more tanks in my classroom. Perhaps someday. :)

:WhoMe:Connecting is what we're all about - just doin' my job... :Angel:

Seriously, Dave even travels to.... Europe I think it is, collecting all the way.

Pics!
I kept cacatuoides for a short time. It was an impulse buy and I resold them once I found out that triple reds were essentially highly inbred novelties...not my bag. I would like to investigate the group further and hopefully in 6 weeks or so I'll have tank space galore!!

[brad]

hey Zap and BadGuy. Are you guys following me? lol.

[ChrissyFishy]

:laugh: Its a Canadian thing! We only have so many fintastic fish forums out there and this is one of them!!!:yes:

[Melody]

LOL We like to think so::D: . Regardless of who followed who, we're glad to have ya's!

[amber2461]

Blimey, they are gorgeous ... can't wait for them to reach BC ... hurry hurry ... spawn ...:laugh:

Any updates on these guys _BaDgUy_ (http://www.canadianaquariumconnection.com/forum/member.php?u=285)??? Have they grown up and are sexable yet?? Any pics of them?

They have grown quite a bit, but I haven't tried to sex them out yet.
They will be moving to larger quarters in the next week or so...
When I move them, I'll try to take some pics of them!

[madattiver]

That would be awesome... and how the heck did you get these from Mike Wise?? I might want to get some fry from you down the road if you ever get them spawning.. especially with the quality of fish Mike keeps and the rarity of this species.

If you click this link... http://apistogrammaidiots.com/Fishroom_2/Gallery_2_1/gallery_2_1.html#01-aff-peix-m-1

they are the 3rd (male) and 4th (female) fish down from the top of the page... great looking fish... do these look anything like yours

[Algae Beater]

I am currently keeping/breeding:

A. barlowi
A. borrelii
A. panduro
A. bitaeniata

there'd be more but im rather busy :D

[GaryofMontreal]

I wonder what happened with that project? It can be so hard to raise large numbers of territorial fish.

[Rabadswompe]

I'd have to get a RO unit (The well water here in the Laurentians is pretty darn hard).

You got pics of the adults ??
