Sighting 01 Jan 08: Apistogramma at C328

[Cacatuoides]

Just came back from C328, nice apistos, worth grabbing them....prices are affordable too

A quick update to the best of my memory


Ap. pertensis - 2 pairs
Ap. bitaeniata - 2 pairs
Ap. hoignei - 2 pairs
Ap. agassizii "tefe pearl blue" -1 pair (please double check the eye)
Ap. agassizii "red" - 1 pair
Ap. macmasteri - 2 pairs
Ap. viejita - 2 pairs (One pair in bag, excellent blue and red face freckles!!)
Ap. cacatuoides 'Orange Flash' - 1 pair
Ap. trifasciata - 2 pairs (Got 1 very nice pair!!)
Ap. Nissenji - 1 pair

ps. I think the opening hour for C328 in the LFS directory needs to be changed to 10.30am
Luckily I didn't go there at 9am, was there at 10.40am and saw them pushing the things out.

[Simon]

so which pair did you grab?

[Cacatuoides]

Hahas I thought i could keep quiet....

I went there to see the A. Cacatuoides but end up getting an additional pair of A. Agassizii 'Tefe Pearl Blue' love the pattern on the tail and its overall sparkling blue appearance!

[Simon]

love to see a photo of it

[Cacatuoides]

Just released them into the tank, will try to take pictures when they're comfortable (spooked colors now)

[Simon]

anyone else popping by in the evening? need to go get some stuff

[Ah_ZhaN]

The fishes arrived on New Years' Eve. Besides the above, there were 2 species of Nannacara as well. In addition, there were african dwarf cichlids (Nanochromis spp.), but I doubt many got to see that.

Cheers,

Yeah benny,

it's great to bump into you yesterday at Clementi. Thank you for the pointers, I've made a long decision and ended up buying the very last pair of Nanochromis spp. back. On the bag, it is written and ID as Parilus (in blue font) & Nudiceps(in black font).

It's pretty confusing and I wonder what exactly is their true ID.

[benny]

So you were the one that bought it! No wonder nobody else saw it!

Take some pictures and show us. I love the greenish/bluish metallic sheen and the red belly!!

Cheers,

i'm gonna try and drop by this evening. Tempted to replace my passed away zebra oto so the other one will have a companion, and also to check out the new apisto stock

[Simon]

just seen the stock, the agassizii tefe male looks stress but okie, but the female doesn't look too good. The mamore red male has potential, although not the entire caudal is red, but it is fat! The pertensis female at the guppy display looks like her stomach is filled with eggs. The rest is not much to mention.

who are the 2 guys asking to order female caca triple red? one wearing a cap

[Ian Lim]

Will be going down tomorrow to have a look, any 'must buy' good recommendation from this batch? BTW what time the shop open tomorrow (Thur). Thanks.

[Simon]

10.30 according to Eman, as for recommendation, just get the one you are attracted to. The Ap. macmasteri on the right end of the guppy display looks great, but I didn't check out the female

[Cacatuoides]

The A. Trifasciata looks like a good buy its dorsal is bright red even when in the bag

[Ian Lim]

Bro Simon / Cacatuoides,

Thank you for the recommendation will pay close attention to these pairs and hopefully it can milt my heart too. Will go apisto hunting tomorow. Any more recommendation is much appreciated.

Eman, i bought a pair of ap. trifasciata.. Just got them in the tank not sure is that the pair you mention?

Wow you bought the pair of A. Agassizii 'Tefe Pearl Blue' . Though they only got 1 pair.. Just found another pair at the betta left bottom corner.. The eyes abit like got some white thing on it for the male.

Too bad that the caca "triple red" had been bought by someone in the morning...

[Cacatuoides]

I was curious to see how the Ap. Agassizii "Tefe Pearl Blue" will look like under proper lighting and conditions. I found another pair in one of the small tanks at the back near the shrimps section.

Yea, I noticed a cloudy eye on the male located at the rack. Congrats to you on another acquisition of a beautiful apisto

Thanks. So many pairs of Ap. Agassizii "Tefe Pearl Blue"? Yesterday at there I went behind and the betta rack infront and none is there. Only saw 1 pair on the table still in the small bag. Maybe after i left more come. But just now saw that pair of Ap. Agassizii "Tefe Pearl Blue" eyes got some white thing on it so never buy them instead getting the ap. trifasciata pair.

[Ian Lim]

Bro doubleace,

Please post a pic of your new acquisition, let em drool a bit and use it to benchmark those still there, thanks.
