    Apistogramma mendezi sex

    She turned a beautiful yellow after the fry went freeswimming! They're swimming for a week now. Went away a few days so no food for them but they managed to survive somehow. Even the male turned a little yellow:P

    Apistogramma mendezi sex

    We'll see. All other species I had before were yellow even before spawning. My first experience with mendezi and your probably right ;)

    Apistogramma mendezi sex

    I've got a couple which I doubted whether it were two males. My female looks like this picture but with even more color. I wasn't sure untill today when I found eggs. But even now, she's not more yellow than in boirdinite picture. Not even close to the yellow female showed in the picture where...

    Water change morning / evening?

    As per title, for inducing spawning, what would work best? A water change in the morning or evening?

    Apistogramma group fish?

    Hi Jacco, they're doing great! They only flare/fight when there is food and they dive on it all at the same time. For the rest they don't seem very territorial, of they divided the tank fair enough. They don't 'school' as I expected them to do from time to time, but they do bring out the best in...

    Apistogramma group fish?

    Thnx! And in real life they have a really nice green-blue metallic shine, which I can't seem to get on the picture.

    Apistogramma group fish?

    Here are some pictures from them in a 60L quarantaine tank: They're doing great and I love them already!

    Apistogramma Papagei/Pebas?

    The wholesale imported them as wild caught. But I've seen wrong females with males before so I guess the exporters aren't very strict when it comes to females. They are in a 1000L community tank with lots of plants and medium hard water so impossible to check and unlikely that the Fry would...

    Apistogramma Papagei/Pebas?

    What does the spotted vs striped lateral line of the female tell me about her mood? And is this couple not really a couple in terms of origin?

    Apistogramma group fish?

    Well, today I bought a group of borelli. I picked them because IME they are one of the least aggressive apisto's so I could make the group larger compared to other species. It is the yellow faced form. They looked already beautiful in the wholesalers tank so I couldn't resist. I bought 8 males...

    Apistogramma Papagei/Pebas?

    They seem to get more beautiful every day. Not the best pictures but the colors are amazing on these fish so I needed to share! Female markings would suggest Roca Eterna, male looks most like the Papagei form. They do seems interested in each other from time to time. I'll try to breed them in a...

    Apistogramma group fish?

    It looks quite empty but this photo is from the day I planted the tank, but is already getting full and will be overgrown by the time the apisto's come. Some leaves here and there wouldn't look bad I guess but 10 cm would give me way too many tannins in the water for my liking for this tank. I...

    Apistogramma group fish?

    O, and all plants in front of the stones will be gone if I go for the apisto group.

    Apistogramma group fish?

    Its a fully planted 1000L tank with lots of wood and a large sand area in the front. Like Mike already said, I want them to thrive, not stressed to the point that they accept each other. Below is a picture of the tank: 195x80x65. Who dares to make an educated guess about the number of apistos...

    Apistogramma group fish?

    A while ago I found a video which showed dwarf cichlids in nature. But instead of the usual pairs I saw them swimming in small groups. I believe they were Apistogramma but I can't find the video anymore. Do Apistogramma live in groups/schools in nature? And if so, would this be possible to...

    Apistogramma Papagei/Pebas?

    The female is starting to show breeding colors. The beautiful thing about this female is that she shows red and blue in her anal and dorsal fin as well. Barely visible at the photo. Tried to capture the male black markings as well. Did this by making him flare with a mirror: (Note the long fins!)

    Apistogramma Papagei/Pebas?

    Or like in the other thread, it is an Apistogramma ortegai (Papagei form). Both male and female seem to match with C and D.
