Absolutely beautiful, I can’t wait to see the who thing and I appreciate the names of the species you come in contact wtih. I’m going to share this with my other fish geek friends at our local forum! Thank you!
Thanks for the reply but I’m sure its not M. ramirezi having kept them many times in home aquaria before. I think it may be somekind of Apistogramma…? Lovely looking fish never the less.
It’s a Microgeophagus species(apistogramma is an old synonym).It’s not so hard to keep in aquarium,I’ve already got juveniles in regular water(ph 7.2, GH 12,KH 6).
Microgeophagus houses the ram species, it replaced Papiliochromis. That fish above is not a ram, it’s an Apistogramma. Rams and apistogrammas are both Dwarf Cichlids but not under the same genus.
The fish at 5:05 is a Dicrossus filamentosus in breeding colours, the line is less solid looking and more checkerboard looking when the fish isn’t in breeding colours and it is this which gives it its common name of checkerboard cichlid.
There are clear-water rivers all over islands like Tarutao (Thailand), full of guppies and tetras and such. Not so hard to find, you just have to know which islands..
Muchas Gracias!
Thank You!

Not a checkerboard cichlid, it’s an apistogramma species.

The narrator sounds like “John Redcorn” of King Of The Hill
I’ve watched this before without thinking of that. He really does sound like John Redcorn!
Dicrossus filamentosus.
The fish at 5:05 is a Dicrossus filamentosus in breeding colours, the line is less solid looking and more checkerboard looking when the fish isn’t in breeding colours and it is this which gives it its common name of checkerboard cichlid.
the way the narrator talks is so monotonous and boring
@dcbf87 Amazing how nature provides for them so easily.

You are a true inspiration, I have been looking for something like this for a while, and I am so glad that I have found it.
