hey Mick, do post the pix. I will go check Géry later see if he has any good pix.
i bought 6 fish today under this name, has anyone got any pix of them for me to compare with my fish,
i will post some pix of them when they settle down, but at the moment they are a bit nervous, so choy or benny you must have some shots of them.
thanks in advance , mick

Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
Nope not really rare.. just dont see it often in Singapore...Originally Posted by benny
Anyway Mick.. i think they are now classified under hyphessobrycon ..
Your fish shop might have got it mixed up... i was confused for like 2 mins when you posted..but these are the only H. amapaensis i know.
ive got a norm-size book that i refered to but its 2 years old, has the change been a recent one?, if so thanks for the info i'll refer it back to our judges.
thanks, mick
yah you can see it under fishbase Hyphessobrycon amapaensis with a pix by Peter and Martin Hoffman.

looks like mine have got a bit of growing to do, ive found out mine are F1 youngsters, i know whos bred them so i know they will be alright.
cheers mick
had a look on fishbase, they were never under hemigrammus were they?
mick
Nope... not that i know.. i've alaways known hem to be what they were.. but i just presumed they might have been.. oops??..
no, the authors name are not parenthesised so the genus was never changed.

Hmm...I thought Hemigrammus were use for congo and one of its cousin only??Originally Posted by mickthefish
Something about the water & the fishes that calms me down.
congos are from Africa so they were never Hemigrammus.

heres an update , have spawned them on the first try, had no problems which makes me think they are easy spawners, another thing the eggs are not light-sensitive, and a 99% hatch rate, look forward to seeing them develope, will take some pics when they are big enough.
cheers
