I picked up a pair of the Apistogramma gephyra today.

The "female" is already out and about exploring the quarentine tank, but the male has taken up residence in a hollow log and is pretty timid.

The A. sp Abacaxis (Wilhelmi) look like they will be very nice fish.

And one of the male Apistogramma juruensis sp. "Black-chin" was really coloured up and looking very nice. There was also a very yellow female jurensis in the tank.

Everytime I went there for the last month or so I looked at the sp "Fresa" and said no I will not buy. oops!! But I got a real nice male.

Hoping the "wilhemi" are a pair - not 100% sure yet.

Looked seriously at the candidi - don't think they will last long.

Well the pair isn't there any longer. I couldn't resist them, and went back today and bought them. He really is a nice looking fish.

While there this afternoon, had a good look at the imported pair of trifasciata. I reckon the male is a dead ringer for this photo, http://apisto.sites.no/fish.aspx?fishIndexID=2409&gruppeID=1 from Martin and Toms' apisto site. Not that I'm suggesting the pair are Apistogramma cf. trifasciata (Argentina).

Well done Rod. Consider me an extremely lush shade of envy green! :lol:
Would love to see some pics of the sp. Rio Mamore if anyone can get them from instore.

I missed out seeing fishchicks when I was up in QLD over the holidays. Really annoyed, but I suppose they cant be open ALL the time just for me. Where do they import from? Germany, Malaysia or other Asian sources?

[coo-ee]

Wild caught fish are transhipped through SE Asia, tank raised fish are from Thailand.

hi All

Just back from two weeks holidays in Bris and NSW coast. I did manage to make it into FishChick (with kids in tow!) for a little bit whileI was up in Bris. What a fabulous assortment of Apisto's - I have never seen a shop with so many varieties in one place it was great. Very tempted to buy something but a bit hard to get it home.

Got back home to a dead female A. agassizi tefe :( and a spawn of A baenschi. , about 30 fry being carefully escorted about the tank. :D

Cheers

Steph

G'day Steph

congratulations on your spawn and commiserations for your loss. I wouldn't imagine an easy replacement. However...

If you find yourself interstate and discover fish you simply must have, buy them and when you get to the airport ship them to yourself with AAE - this is the only way you'll manage it. But I suppose you knew this already eh' ? Just a casual note really for those who may not have known. Obviously the fish a freighted on the plane you travel home on!

[briztoon]

I am pretty sure Jodi-Lea does air frieght apistos. You could contact Jodi-Lea via her website and find out the price of shipping some of the species you're intersted in.

FISHCHICK AQUATICS (http://www.fishchick.com/)

Someone could also suggest to Jodi-Lea she put more apsito YouTube videos on her site. The only one at the moment is a pair Apistogramma Bitaeniata "Yellow" Wild Caught Peru (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIA2ln0MIQk). He's much nicer looking in person though. I plan on getting a pair from the next shipment.

[bartek]

I can confirm that Fishchick does ship Apistos.

thanks for the tip Hassles, unfortunately we were driving home, via a 5 day camping trip near Port Macquarie. I did consider the bucket and battery powered air pump option but I reckon it would have been more stressful on me than the fish ;)

I had a nice chat with Jodi-Lea while I was in the shop and will go teh airfreight option once I get my tank space and shelving sorted out.

BTW if anyone is into Angels they had some lovely wild caught angels, beautiful colour and striping and really quite feisty.

Cheers

First time I have been allowed out for a while. Went to visit Fishchicks.

I can't believe people haven't jumped all over the Apistogramma sp Masken - they are the real deal with beautiful colour in the faces.

The colour in the Panduro are outstanding as well.

Probably the pick of the fish for me this visit.

I was picking up females for species I alreaddy have so resisted.
