Apistogramma Registry

Gday fellow Apisto fanatics,

The hype/craze over Apistogramma sp. seems to be a rollercoaster ride. It can be in the flavour of the season and at other times a side-mention. This leads to an uneven supply of Apistogramma and some species are even lost to the hobby because their line are not continued by the person keeping them.

I propose that we start a registry of what Apisto someone is breeding and have fry that they are willing to share (sell, of course) with other fellow fanatics. With this list, it will make it easy for people to increase bloodlines and maintain a strain of apistos. I think this list is important for Apistogramma in Australia, since the source of wildcaught Apistogramma from Peru seems to be intermittent.

Having been out of the apistos due to renovations, I will soon have a rack dedicated to apistos. 24 tanks (1x18x18). Now to choose and not go overboard.

Cheers,
Vien.


Thoughts?

Buddy - that's great effort of you.

It has been a real rollercoaster ride with the hobby. I've seen some really good F0 coming in over the years (back in late 90s), with limited success but extremely difficult to replenish good stock once I lost the breeder. In my current situation, I've lost all female of the sp. Rio Mamore and the breeding pucallpaensis female.

Here's my current profile:

apistogramma:
F1 baenschi
agassizi Tefe redback (bloodline unknown)
F1 macmasteri
elizabethae "red" (German bloodline)
hongsloi (German bloodline)
F1 apistogrammoides pucallpaensis

Hopefully when I can get organise and consolidate them a bit, I can start with more species.

Latest addition:
iniridae (German, still growing out)
borelli "Paraguay" (F0, not breeding yet)

In the past, have bred and raised the following (for the record):

bitaeniata (from F0 parents)
agassizi double red
iniridae (from F0 parents)
nijsseni
panduro (from F0 parents)
hongsloi

Cheers,
Thomas.

Might help if you get some correct I.D's on some of those fish Bubbles. Names like Marines and Shushupes aren't really that relevant anymore as they are just colour varients most of the time.
Probably best to be species specific if possible

Sorry Robdog, was not really concentrating too much on what we "USED TO" have & more on what we have at the moment. I think people are not going to be too concerned on what we had in the past as much as what we have now. My husband & I love Apisto's for their beauty & shape & because they are a challenge we never got right into the name specific's just love having them.

No drama at all Bubbles. Sorry if it sounded like I was having a go.
To be honest it wasn't the Marine and Shushushushu that rang alarms for me. The Flamingo's if I remember correctly were A. agassizi.

I'm glad you responded back Robdog, I thought you might have been having a go at me, I'm now happy you were not. I have gone back into my post & corrected my mistakes.
