VERY well!
I sent to Namibia, by ROAD and they're alright.
SA regularly serviced.

ALL Depends on their initial health and conditioning, which I ensure from the breeder TO me, for best results to pass on .

In Transit 48h, almost 10 000km by air to get to me....
they have GPS:noworry:

I'm FROM PE too:blink1:
Fish, mostly, influenced my move to CPT, to receive and dispatch better, safer and quicker.

You may order and receive within 12-18h , all depends on freight mode and package size.

Enquiries welcome.

Exciting development!!!
The WaterZoo wholesale division will regularly market these and other interesting specimens into ECape upto PE.
Extended LFS delivery route, covers Garden Route

Get your local shop to make contact !
OR come directly to us, if that's not an option..



Now that is very cool!!!

They are individually packed.

Breeding behaviour, is up to fish:love:
Stocked in Equal numbers of adolescent males and females .
Pairs sold on basis of 1male, 1female.
Females are maybe 2-3months away from sexual maturity.

Picked up 4 yesterday and haven't been able to look away from my tank since... They are so beautiful and healthy but the best thing is their little personalities cant wait to see how they develope!

Oh and thanks to liaquat for helping me out with some other stuff...

Hi there

Livestock has been moving very quickly, mostly wholesale to stores.
In fact when my stock list showed a few species of Apistogramma as available early last week, I went to select a few to send to Jo'burg..to find there was only a single male left.:redface:

Even though thread is a year old, I just happened to get some a month ago

So, if you don't mind
Please mail
gnocchips@yahoo.com
for something(else?) you may want

Until I get to regularly post availability of some specialties....

I will email that address and see what happens from there.

How big in cm are they ?are they agresive? will they atack my blue rams?

Altum
06-12-2010, 14:42
normal range sold 20-30mm
Not towards other fish unless breeding, or undersized tankspace, or more conspecifics around and not tolerated.

Anything over 60L will be fine WITH Ramirezi..especially if they are subsequent additions.

again, your particular tank, fish and their characters are UNIQUE ....so you can only make your own decisions.

Jack be sure to email me, as I said in prior communications I can respond easier.and quicker

Sorry to open an old thread...

Altum - Do you have any new species of apistos in? Could you mail me a list of apistos that you could possibly get and prices please.

Thanks

eish! Seano..lost my info hey?

no new Apistogramma since June
I will do ONE more type in 2-3weeks, can't say for sure which it will be.

On other hand some niche fillers : Badis badis bengalensis , released this week...

I will assimilate my sources and see how far I can consolidate a minor listing for you

Sean J

PLEASE bring in a lekker type!! Either bitaeniata, or baenschi, or macmasteri, or panduro, or iniridae, or pertensis...

I bought a pair back then, but they didn't last long. Such a pity because they are brilliant fish!

Great fish hey Sean!
But they weren't from me though.... I would've held them longer, to ensure improved success , and minimised your risk

I will begin release of Apistogramma agassizi Blue tail strain, next week
..they are shaping up to be pretty decent lookers

Just to comment here... I was at Altums place yesterday, looking at these Blue Tail Agassizi, and I have to say they are very attractive little fish. I had seen some others earlier that day in an LFS which quite frankly looked shocking, and very poorly coloured, and had almost put me off getting any of these, but when I saw Altums ones, it restored my faith in how nice these fish can look. They are not so brightly coloured as many of the other colour forms available out there, and are much closer in colour to some forms of 'wild' Agassizi.

I look forward to getting a pair hopefully soon!

Regards
G!

Altum

Sean, I will try to...
When is your new tank ready for them?

Sean J
08-08-2011, 17:03
Hopefully in the next 4 - 5 weeks man... Things are going very slowly at the moment. But as soon as I have the tank ready, I'll let you know.

Altum
12-08-2011, 23:56
No problemo
...I still hope to have some in my personal tank, and can offer you a few from there.
