Yes the second and third are the same female, second picture is at the very start of finding a breeding territory, the third picture is defensive broodcare colouration..

ste12000 Thanks

I have 12 A. eunotus and I may have 2 females after all .
Guess its time for me to seperate a pair and try my luck

What conditions did/do you keep them at to induce breeding ?

 

[ste12000]

They are really easy to breed,i have not done a thing to induce these fish!! mine are kept in my understocked 40gallon Discus tank, sand substrate, loads of bogwood and hiding places,PH 6.5
TDS 60-65ppm temp at around 80f..
I started with a group of 8 juveniles and they are now nice specimins, i have at least 3 mature females, one dominant male and a few that are still to small to sex..
I am finding breeding apisto's in groups in a large tank a lot easier than pairs in small tanks..

I have a 38g tank I was going to stock with something else ( mostly a plant grow out tank ) , guess I'll throw them in and see what happens
