[Cacatuoides]

Glad to hear that, keep it up bro!!

[joe]

si mi strawberry? picture bo?

[CacaManiac]

joe

it's the nick for A. eremnopyge cos we don't know the actual pronounciation

[ranmasatome]

Its not a nick.. its a common name..

Also.. its pronounced. Eh REm No pi geh - geh is pronounced as in "no teeth" - "bo geh"

[outspoken]

It is sometimes called Ap. Fresa too...bought it more than one year ago by dat name at FEA.

[joopsg]

looks like the source of fresa not very gd, fish may come with internal parasites or wat. Or maybe they suffered temperature shock or pH shock.

I had one caca male died of pH shock be4.. Horrified by the scene, that prompt me to use ADA soil. Previously on peat filtration..

[celticfish]

i have no idea how the strawberries died.
i have ADA soil and all.
they other caca's and schwarz kinn (black chin) have no problems.
in fact, they were very active with intense colours when i put them in the tank.
i was actually more concerned about the black chins.
oh well, like the saying "it comes with the territory"...

[CacaManiac]

it's al just so unfortunate.. hopefully someone has success with them.

[sheng]

if i m not wrong, eco-culture may still have A. eremnopyge

[Cacatuoides]

Yeah, i really hope the guys who bought the remaining strawberries have success with them too.....I'm actually having a wild thought in my mind right now, wonder if I should go ahead with the thought.....???

[outspoken]

Guys,

Went to Biotope Aquarium just now and got myself the Apistogramma bitaeniata "Maranon". The 2 pairs of A. norberti is like super huge.Too bad I couldnt lay my hands on the A. eremopyge but the A. sp 'Jura II' is superb.

[Cacatuoides]

Yeah.....A. bitaeniata 'Maranon' is nice, especially with the super orange dorsal fin. Nice male you got.

What's left there in the shop when you're there?

[outspoken]

I think still quite a number of nice species. I'm quite attracted to the A. borelli 'Opal'. Still a young pair and only 1 pair available.

The A. trifasciata 'guapore super red' is not bad but the tail redness can only be seen at certain angle somehow.

All the A. bitaeniata variants are still around except one pair which is in my tank now.

[CacaManiac]

outspoken
a really nice specimen you got there.

"I'm actually having a wild thought in my mind right now"

What are you scheming man?

[Cacatuoides]

I'm actually having a thought whether to sell my pair of A. sp. 'breitbinden'. Thinking of getting a species which is easier to keep and breed at intermediate level.

Still thinking and deciding....

Bro,

You can't be serious??

If i were you, I will keep the A. sp. 'breitbinden' and keep it as a goal to make them spawn and will gladly trade off the offspring to promote the keeping of the Apistogramma genus.

[Cacatuoides]

hehe, just like i said, its only an idea/thought brother....still deciding on that

[joopsg]

If I can go back to keeping Apistogramma immediately, I will go and 'sapu' (meaning grab for those not familar with the local lingo) the pair from you.

However.... haiz...

[Cacatuoides]

Hahas, i'm receiving quite a number of response for this beautiful pair of Breibinden.....let me go home and do some little changes and see how they're doing, currently the pair is healthy and feeding well, just that the male is terrorising the female and causing her to hide in her cave most of the time..... there are pencil fish in the tank as dither, but the male seldom show his aggression on them, only towards the female.....PH is below 6 about 5.5... Any solution guys? thanks!
