What have I got here...these two were sold to me as a pair of apisto viejita. But to me looks like two males. In the second video I refer to a male and female I got from a guy named lee. They are desendents of a pair caught near Santa Cruz Peru. I know them as Santa Cruz blues. Anyway one of...
Thanks Mike you have been a big help. I think my plan will be to trade the female for a male steel blue for now. I'm going to collect a few more rocks today/tomorrow to make a few more caves and crevices. Add more leaves as well.
I saw your reply in that other thread about multiple steel blues in the 29. Are male steel blues colorful when they are breeding and when they are not? If so and since I'm not seriously interested in breeding then I'm leaning toward swapping what I got for two male steel blues OR swapping out...
Oh also none of the pictures I have seen show either type of fish having the black spot in the middle dorsal fins. Is that a sign of hybridization or just coincidence.
Yup, I got confused. I dunno why but I thought I posted the video of the male first and female second in my OP.

Would two males be ok in a 29 with oak leaves and rock...
I'll try to get higher quality video. I reduce the quality b/c the file is much larger when shooting HD. Can you explain your thoughts as to why you think they are both female? What do you look for? As far as the types, I looked at pictures and wow apistos can be hard to tell apart.
I need help with these apistos.
What type are they and are they male or female?
I'm pretty sure this one is female, it was yellow at the store.
Apisto Female?
This one I think is male, again no idea what type it is.
Apisto Male?
Thanks
