Well it’s definitely been a while since I last made a post. Since then the plans for my 375 litre discus aquarium have changed drastically. Currently there are six Lamprologus similis and five Neolamprologus leleupi swimming around happily. The little shell dwellers (similis) have been breeding. Just check out the film. Cute little fish I’m ...
Formally described as the 70th valid species of the genus Apistogramma, this new species was described from Peru, based on a total of 35 specimens collected in a small forest lake in the wider catchment of the Rio Itaya about 80 kilometres south of Iquitos during 2010. provisionally called Apistogramma sp. Roterpunkt by local fishermen, ...
So, finally. Time to start setting up my 375 litre aquarium. I’m 99.5% sure that I’ll be keeping discus in it. I reckon a group of 6 would look great in this size aquarium. After several weeks sitting in the garage just waiting to be cared for, I have now moved it into my kitchen ...
Judging by the behaviour of the female Apistogramma veijita (darting in and out of cover, very alert, bright yellow and black), it’s most probable that the pair have spawned. Busy day today for me. My house is for sale and there is a viewing later on today, so I’ll try and get some footage posted ...
I was browsing blocket.se (swedish online market place) and came across what looked to be a mighty fine aquarium, and with a price tag of 500 SEK (that’s about 50 pounds) I just couldn’t resist. After a 200km round trip, the aquarium, stand and light fixture where in my garage! I have no idea where ...
Well, it didn’t take long for me to realise that the six Buenos Aires Tetra (Hemigrammus caudovittatus), that I’ve had for about a week, are way to lively and hungry to have a place in my aquarium. They are lovely little fish, but just not right for my “apistogramma tank”. I found myself having to ...
Here comes a bunch of information for anyone interested in keeping Apistogramma viejita. More information on this species will be appearing at regular intervals as I get to know my new fish :) Origin: South America: Rio Orinoco basin, in the upper Rio Meta drainage in Colombia. Class: Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes) Order: Perciformes Family: Cichlidae ...
I popped into a pet shop on the outskirts of town. I knew that they had a few aquariums, usually filled with the usual common kinds of fish; tetras, guppys, angelfish etc., but this time my eyes fell upon some interesting little fish. “What’s this?” I thought to myself. “oh, what nice little fish!”…”Wow, they’re ...
I last posted about my Nannacara about 3 weeks ago. At that time I was patiently waiting to see if their eggs had hatched. Unfortunately there was no luck there. Well actually, it’s not really a case of luck. Like most cichlids, the Nannacara become good parents to their young. It just takes a while ...
Well if you’re not already keeping fish then maybe the following 6 reason will convince you: 1A nice shiny aquarium at home looks jolly spiffing. Just imagine the woooohhs, ahhhhs and gasps of adoration when first time visitors to your home see your beautiful aquarium adorning a wall in your living room. An extra wow ...
