Apistos: Who's Keeping What Species

[Sinubux]

Hi All Apisto Lovers, I have been combing the whole cichlid forum for the past few days to try to derive a list as to who is keeping what currently, so to speed up this process and to further facilitate the next Apisto exchanging program, maybe we can list out what we are currently keeping / breeding. I shall start the ball rolling first.

1. Sinubux: Ivanacara Adoketa

Come in here if you please...

There's actually a sticky thread on Apistogramma exchange at the top of the cichlid section.

[Blue Whale]

Yeap. The thread I included is very active. No harm tagging it to your subscription. : )

[Sinubux]

The reason for this thread is such that the above mentioned threads were started a long time ago, and that I am not sure whether are the members in that thread still keeping the species or they have moved on to others. But since both of you think that, this thread is redundant, then I would like to invite the Mod to have it deleted.

Sorry Mod for causing you unncessary work. My most sincere apologies.

[Blue Whale]

no harm lah...I happen to see your thread. See help see help. I included tech tips.

[doppelbanddwarf]

Yes some of the members there are no longer active in the apisto hobbyist scene, but the thread is still alive especially recently.

Thanks Bro for helping me since I am quite green in is forum. So the rules and regulations here differs.

Another reason for starting this is that I am in the midst of expanding my personal Apisto collection so no point I get species which are available in the local scene but rather acquire something that may be beneficial to the community as a whole.

You intend to goto Aquabid to order some? ^^

[Sinubux]

That is an option that I am contemplating.

[Blue Whale]

Okay, if you follow that thread, you can goto FB and make friend with the owner of JZX. You can order from him instead. His next shipment coming 2 weeks time, so you better hurry. These are wild batches, hence you can keep the genre line if you will.

[Sinubux]

Thanks, I had added them on my facebook and I had private message him as to what species he would be bringing in.

[Blue Whale]

I think the batch should include Cacatuoides and agassizii, I be monitoring his FB as well.

[Sinubux]

Well cannot wait for their shipment to arrive. Hope to be able to acquire confirmed pairs from them instead of needing to pick and choose.

Wah...but there is no confirmed ones for wild catch. You get sneaker male also LL one should you order online. The Freight charges will also not be cheap.

If I'm not wrong you need an importer's license for aquabid? You might be able to get some of the LFSes to help you import but it'll not be cheap. IMHO anything other than those commonly seen at LFSes and the few species brought in by JZX recently would be uncommmon.

[Blue Whale]

JZX left inka. : P for the moment.

For importer's licensing, it is not an issue. The Adoketas currently with me now are brought in from abroad. No issues with the clearance and stuff.

[doppelbanddwarf]

Brought in as in hand carried?
