The World of Apistogramma

In this lecture I will introduce the dwarf cichlids of the genus Apistogramma. I will explain what Apistogramma actually are, where they come from, how to keep and breed them.

In this context, numerous biotope photos of the original habitats will also be presented. Of course, many species are also presented in detail and numerous pictures of the animals are shown.

For more than 10 years I have been working as a specialist author and speaker in aquaristics. My main topic is the ichthyofauna of South America, especially the plecos and dwarf cichlids.

I hold my lectures at meetings or events of aquarium associations, specialized shops or at trade fairs at home and abroad.

Recently I was on a three-week lecture tour in the US, but I also like to come to your aquarium club, whether it's a small gathering or an event with several hundred participants.
