Well well well. . . what do we have here?!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That would be GREAT! the girls are better looking too! Where are those in-tank shots?
 
Very nice small package Jeremy! Those Noto's are some of the best dwarf Pikes - a friend of ours in Maryland has bred them if you want any tips....

Those Atabapo Lents should be spectacular when bigger ~ keep us up-dated with some growth pics! Seems like a few vendors have them available. Wonder if they'll lose most of the head-spotting as they grow. Our large pair has been disapointing,
both development some HITH, female is worse... Good luck with yours!!!!
 
MTN Pike - I would love to hear the breeding tips on the noto's ... have kept them twice without much luck. Considering they are found alongside with heckel discus, I always assumed they would need similiar water for breeding. While our tap water is nice for most south americans, I would need an RO unit to hit the pH 5.5 range.

Jer - More noto pics!! Especially the male dorsal fins extended!! Though I know exactly how much of a pain it is to get that shot!
 
If you got the same ones I got, then you got notos. ;) And yesh, they are amazing fish. The mopani wood has turned my water brown though, hahaha, so its hard to see them. Looks rather awesome actually. :)

John, that would be top notch sir. Actually one of my friends here in KC has breed the notos twice now. Rather encouraging since he is so close! :D Yay! I am not sure about the ACA in Cincy this year. We'll see I guess. Did you get some of the atabapo lents from Grey as well, or did you get some lents from Rapps? I'm not entirely sure if his are the same variant or not. Either way, post them up man!!! The one you aren't taking to the ACA of course. ;)

Phat chance on those 'red diamond' johanna! LoL! Although do have Grey looking for a few other hard to get species! :D We'll see this fall huh?

Darth ~ I think I should be able to get pictures of the dorsal, might take me a week or two, hahaha, but I'll get them dangit!

Yesh sir, notos are dwarfs like regani and compressiceps. :) Female notos will have red rimmed spots in the dorsal, while regani are normally rimmed in white. Plus the first few rays of the male notos dorsal fin are extended, kind of like a cockatoo. :)
